    Episode 84: RE-ANIMATOR

    Yeah I voted no. While I understand the desire to want to put purely fun movies into the Canon I'm not sure that by itself is the main argument for inclusion. Devin threw a lot of pretentious sounding arguments at the wall to see if any would stick, but the core argument came down to "this movie was fun and I love it." To use an example from a different genre that sort of reminds me of this film: Hudson Hawk. I love the film unreservedly (as I saw it at the ideal age). Hudson Hawk is pretty funny, has a very stylistic series of choices, and is kind of both funny and weird. There's also no doubt that the film's directorial choices were specifically made for that tone. But it's also inarguably a TERRIBLE movie. Just because the film checks off a bunch of boxes that a good film would also have doesn't make it a good movie. And just because it's so bad it's great, doesn't make it worthy of the Canon.
