Binge Movie Aftertaste – A Nightmare on Elm Street Parts 5 and 6 Retrospective w/Super Marcey
Welcome to part three of our five part look at the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. I am once again joined by the one and only Super Marcey, and together we will one by one break down each film of the series that built New Line Cinema from the ground up.
Tonight we look at two sequels that are not remembered too fondly by fans. With Freddy Krueger officially considered a juggernaut, New Line kept pumping out stories that featured everybody’s favorite pizza face delivering horrible one liners and riding a broom like the Wicked Witch of the West. Oh, and occasionally killing a teenager or two.
But what made Freddy so scary was the fact we DIDNT see him. And after being established by Part 4 director Renny Harlin as ‘the hero of the story,’ executives behind Parts 5 and 6 created a story about a teenage mom and a Twin Peaks tribute which takes place in Freddy World. And did I mention the latter film only features two kills?? Not exactly the stuff of nightmares.
Will Marcey and I agree on these two highly derided Nightmare sequels? Or will I be involved in yet another fight about film taste? Listen to find out!
