Bob Drillboids 181 Posted September 1, 2015 Bump. This one is long overdue. Share this post Link to post
Ribelin2000 23 Posted September 1, 2015 My only theory as to why HDTGM hasn't done an episode on this yet is that the Nostalgia Critic already did such a good job ripping this movie apart that Paul & Co. can't think of anything new to say about it. Share this post Link to post
joel_rosenbaum 1269 Posted September 8, 2015 Maybe the gang could invite Art Spiegelman as their special guest if they ever watch this. 3 Share this post Link to post
PeteHummon 0 Posted October 31, 2015 This probably could create the first HDTGM episode where June becomes legitimately ill during the viewing and just refuses to go on air. Yeah, agree with you about this. Even as a kid starved for movies in the '80s, I wanted nothing to do with this movie. I would have been happier doing my homework or chewing glass than watch this movie. I don't mean to judge the book but the cover, but "GPK" just looked like it was out to insult and disgust its audience. Who wants to see that? Share this post Link to post
AJGiroveanu 0 Posted December 29, 2015 This movie is perfect for the show. There is so much material to discuss. The Garbage Pail Kids are so disgusting and the premises are ridiculous. There are over the top 80's bullies, awful 80's clothes, alien children who puke, fart, eat fingers, and constantly soil themselves, and so much more. I got the movie for $6 w/ Amazon Prime.

Turk71 58 Posted February 6, 2016 This now has a full-blown 'collector's edition' reprint on blu-ray, thanks to Shout Factory! There is LITERALLY no reason for HDTGM <i>not</i> to do this movie. https://www.shoutfactory.com/film/action-adventure/the-garbage-pail-kids-movie-collector-s-edition Share this post Link to post
WTF?MichaelDorn 12 Posted March 5, 2016 This movie ruined my life, lol. First off, how the hell was this pitched to the studios as a kids movie?!?!? I was too young to have seen this in theatres, but young enough that my eldest sister had it on VHS and made me watch it repeatedly with her. Reasons this movie ruined my life: 1. Being forced to watch this movie, over and over, still causes strain on my sister and I relationship. Lol 2. Imitating any of the behaviors in this movie caused my father to lose his mind. 3. The main character 'Dodger' who is in his early teens, actually gets the hot 20 something girl. This theme beaten into my head repeatedly caused some sad highschool days. Share this post Link to post
Bob Drillboids 181 Posted August 21, 2016 Bump. Today is the 29th anniversary of the theatrical release of this nightmare. Share this post Link to post
JamieGarza 0 Posted September 11, 2016 Please do this movie just for June's reaction alone! Share this post Link to post
ElieB 238 Posted September 11, 2016 This podcast is supposed to be fun, not generate nightmares... pls don't. No one should have to watch fucking creepshow. Especially June. Let's not do this to her. Share this post Link to post
joel_rosenbaum 1269 Posted July 28, 2017 Astin: The contracts were signed by the time my dad [actor John Astin] had a chance to look at the script. He did everything he could to get me out of it. Like, “Dude. This is not a good idea, son. I know what I’m talking about.” But the ink was dry. From this great interview about the history of the GPK generally. 1 Share this post Link to post
