Incredibly Strange Video
Film lovers Ryan and Cassie take a critical look at films that are often only laughed at, lovingly dissecting b-movies, cult cinema, and "so bad it's good" flicks to gain a new appreciation for unusual cinema.

Ep. 24: Leprechaun
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
And what film pairs better with a pint of Guinness and some cottage pie than the cult classic, Leprechaun! Warwick Davis gives an iconic horror performance as the titular villain, terrorizing Jennifer Aniston (yes, THAT Jennifer Aniston, in her first feature film leading role) as he searching for his stolen pot of gold.
This horror comedy went on to become a surprise hit when it was released and spawned many sequels...and we intend to get to them all! For now, we're breaking down the original and its use of color to invoke the Celtic Otherworld, how the characters' names might relate to Irish mythology, and how the entire film might be a coded message from the Illuminati regarding the JFK assassination.
May your glass be ever full and your videos incredibly strange! Slàinte Mhaith!
Leprechaun
