2 Fast 2 Forever #375 – Willow (1988)
Our final 80s Cult Movie lap pit stop is Willow (1988), which seems to be the crown jewel of a genre we have discovered this lap! After learning what Joe knows about the Willow-verse, we encounter a shocking turn of events for Crazy Credits and then explore the cinematic and story trends that have surfaced this lap. We talk about dogs in costumes and horny pigs, Val Kilmer’s charm (both in the film and in real life) and his improvisation on set, and how Chris Claremont (yes, that Chris Claremont) ruined this franchise for many fans. We talk about Willow being, essentially, Snow White x Moses. We see the hero’s journey on full display. We talk about the Wilhelm Scream.
