Troll (1986)

2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

Our 80s Cult Movie lap continues with Troll, which falls right in line with some of the other pit stop movies we've been watching. We talk about JK Rowling totally definitely no way using this movie as inspiration for Harry Potter, the mixed feelings that Julia-Louis Dreyfus has about Troll, and what John Carl Buechler (predominantly a special effects guy) brought to the helm as director. We make our picks for the Most 80s Moment (and Joe makes a bonus pick), we discuss which residents of the building most reflect our own personalities, and we debate the correct order to convert an entire building of humans into trolls. We try to make sense of the (too late into the movie) plot explanation dumb, and we wonder if the movie could have been (gasp) longer.
