Comfort Films 109: Tremors (1990)
Manage episode 405560970 series 3499239
To begin Sandworm Appreciation Month (in honor of the release of Dune Part Two), John and Georgia burrow deep into the desert earth of Perfection, Nevada to explore the 1990 cult classic Tremors, starring Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, and the graboids. Tremors plays like Jaws set in the desert (the original title of the film was actually Land Sharks!), and we relish in the fact that the film is comprised solely of practical effects. We're talking matte paintings, miniatures, hand puppets, mechanical puppets, and more! The stellar supporting cast boasts the likes of Michael Gross (fresh from his Family Ties run), Reba McEntire (in her film debut), and the incomparable Victor Wong (The Last Emperor, Big Trouble in Little China, and Prince of Darkness). Push play, crack a cold one, and meet us in Burt and Heather Gummer's rec room for one motherhumper of a nostaglic party in the desert!
