What happens when a comet decimates the Earth leaving just a handful of survivors to navigate this new reality? This film focuses on two teenage sisters as they encounter zombies, shady scientists, shopping mall bandits, and a trucker.  This film is a fun ride that will exceed your low expectations. We encourage you to (re)watch “Night of the Comet” and then listen to this episode as we revisit this low-budget horror comedy.  Does this film hold up?  Is it worth a rewatch? Do the “bad 80s movie” tropes increase or decrease its charm? We have our opinions. Does it line up with yours?","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/DsJRoPoFfX8dfhqyaEtayXeU-KeQK7iOfokzMUiutrc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hYWY1/YzJiNzUxY2RlM2Yz/ODk5NzRiZjVmYmI2/NjM2Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
