About this episode
Back To The Blockbuster is starting spooky season with a look back at Halloween: H20 for its 25th anniversary. Directed by Steve Minrer, the film stars Jamie Lee Curtis, LL Cool J, Adam Arkin, Michelle Williams, Josh Hartnett, Jodi Lyn O’Keefe, Adam Hann-Bryd, Janet Leigh and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and finds Curtis returning to the role of Laurie Strode 20 years after the release of the first film. Suffering from post-traumatic stress, Laurie has faked her death in order to go into hiding from her murderous brother, Michael Myers, only to have him find her working at a private boarding school in California. We didn’t celebrate this milestone alone so friend to show Mark J. Park of the Release Date Rewind podcast is back to discuss this return of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode while we’re joined by Halloween fan and new friend of the show Wes as we discuss how the film performed in 1998, various production issues, its decision to ignore the sequels without Jamie Lee Curtis, how it stands up against Halloween 2018 and more!
