56. Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case 3: The Progeny (1991)

Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast

Lo, we have returned with the prophesied episode, that which much come after the others doth came. And on the third Basket Case, they wept. And it was bad. So say we all. Wait, what? Remember at the end of Basket Case 2 how after a really boggy round of lump rutting between Belial and Eve, Duane decided it was time to reconnect with his brother? No? Well, no worries, because this movie begins with a “previously on” segment, and then it’s all downhill from there! Join us as we watch Granny Ruth and the gang take the Basket Case franchise on a road trip movie full of surprise boobies, dominatrix cops-daughters, sausage linked babies and the poetic stylings of an 11-armed guy that may still have difficulty wiping his own ass. All that, and we get our first musical number here on Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast approved of and blessed by your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

If you would like to recommend a movie, tell us which movie type you hope Basket Case 4 emulates (it’s Weekend at Belial’s), or ask us horror movie-related questions, you can do so by reaching out to us on
