The Frighteners

The Frighteners

Author: That Was Okay I Guess June 19, 2019 Duration: 1:24:20
Murph and Tucker talk about Michael J. Fox's The Frighteners, the nature of horror, comedy, and horror-comedy, how movies can be fun, and Peter Jackson's unique career.

Ever find yourself scrolling through a streaming service, pausing on a movie you've never heard of and wondering who, exactly, it was made for? That's the exact feeling That Was Okay I Guess explores in every episode. Hosted by writer and comedian Tucker Warner alongside media critic Brendan Murphy, this comedy podcast digs into the vast, often dusty middle ground of cinema-the films that weren't great, weren't terrible, but simply existed. They're the forgotten rentals, the box office shrugs, the direct-to-video curiosities that somehow left a faint, peculiar mark. Each conversation is less a traditional review and more a shared excavation, trying to figure out why these perfectly average movies got made and what they say about the time they came from. You'll hear genuine curiosity mixed with dry wit as they dissect baffling creative choices, oddly compelling performances, and narratives that just sort of... end. It’s a celebration of the unspectacular, offering a funny and oddly comforting reminder that not every piece of art needs to be a masterpiece to be worth talking about. Tune in for a deep dive into the cinematic landscape of the just-fine, where the most memorable moments often come from the most forgettable films.
