For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, we’re kicking off the spookiest month with a year with some appropriately films. first up is Under Paris (2024), a French thriller about a giant shark menacing the waters of the Seine in Paris. A group of scientists have to figure out to stop the menace before it eats everyone. Yep, they pretty much remade Jaws, but in Paris. This is really popular on Letterboxd for some reason. I’m ready for some Euroslop. Director Xavier Gens is otherwise best-known for the Hitman (2007) movie.

Second is a collection of seven Looney Tunes cartoons, all featuring Marvin the Martian. He appeared in only five shorts from the classic Looney Tunes era (1930-69): Haredevil Hare (1948), The Hasty Hare (1952), Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century (1953), Hare-Way to the Stars (1958), and Mad as a Mars Hare (1963). We will watch them all. In addition, Chuck Jones did two revival shorts in 1980, both featuring Marvin: Spaced Out Bunny (1980) and Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24 1/2th Century (1980). We will watch those, too.

Last is Friday the 13th (1980), the iconic slasher that spawned the long-running series. A bunch of teenagers go to Camp Crystal Lake for a cool summer getaway, only to find that they are all being hunted by a knife-wielding maniac. Pretty much Halloween (1978), but at a lake. This is by far the best-known film of director Sean S. Cunningham; he is a one-hit wonder, since he did not direct any of the sequels. Speaking of sequels, we will watch at least Part 2 and 3 soon, as well.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here: https://blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine Be there, comrades!
