This week, Art and Erik dig deep into Idle Hands (1999), the stoner horror comedy where a lazy teen's possessed hand goes on a murder spree. Expect wild practical effects, over-the-top kills, and a late-90s time capsule of music, style, and humor. We talk about Devon Sawa's physical comedy, Seth Green and Elden Henson's undead buddy act, and Jessica Alba's early star power.
And it's all wrapped up in a horror-comedy that leans heavy on both the "horror" and the "stoner."
