Discerning Geeks Portal

This week, we join a time-traveling S-Mart employee named Ash against Deadite zombies as we fight with, "Army of Darkness."

- Did the Geeks agree whether this movie felt like a Looney Tunes cartoon brought to life?

- What did Dave feel was the target audience for "Army of Darkness," and did he consider himself part of that group?

- What did the Geeks feel about the special effects in the movie, and how much did it matter that many of the effects, especially the zombie skeletons, were practical?

- What excuse did Todd use to bring up the recent "The Fall Guy" movie yet again?

- How effective was Bruce Campbell in the lead role? Did he make or break the movie for any of the Geeks?

- Which Geek somehow missed who the famous noble lord was supposed to be in this movie?

- Which famous filming location stood in for medieval England -- despite not looking like England?

- What did the Geeks feel about this movie's depiction of magic, particularly the pivotal mirror scene?

- How did one Geek equate this movie to NASCAR?

- What did the Geeks think about the ending of the movie, especially after Preston shared one alternate ending that was originally considered?

- And, how did the rights to a Hannibal Lecter movie affect this movie and its ending?
