Blumhouse's Fantasy Island (2020)
Since we're in the middle of "Vacation Month," we're taking a vacation! Enjoy this Patreon-exclusive (well, not anymore) episode that we recorded back in February for our loyal Patrons. Congrats, all you non-Patrons. Here's a taste of what life is like on the wild side.
Prep your boring, inane (sex?) fantasies, because we are en route to Blumhouse's Fantasy Island. This is the second Blumhouse production in as many months to feature pretty people battling villains with black goo coming out of their eyes; it's also the second feature in a row from writer/director Jeff Wadlow to feature a gay asian character, so someone's got a fetish.
Up for discussion: Trace thinks this film is entertaining and stupid, while Joe thinks it is lazy and boring. We both agree, however, that the twist makes NO SENSE. Of course neither does the island's geography, or the number of characters, or its resolution.
Oh, and there's the fun implications of suggesting being bullied turns you into a stalker/killer. Thankfully we have goddesses Maggie Q and Lucy Hale (plus everyone's favorite lovable asshole, Ryan Hansen) to keep us entertained as we wade through this nearly 2-hour train wreck.
