The Breakdown of 'Hellraiser', 'Piranha', 'The Stranger', 'Tigertail' and 'Love, Wedding, Repeat'


I'm hoping everyone is having a great start to the week and to help with that here is the latest episode of The Movie Breakdown. This week we look at two cult horror movies; we review the gory and controversial Clive Barker directed Hellraiser and the 1978 tongue-in-cheek Jaws knock-off, Piranha. We also go all the back to 1946 with legendary director Orson Welles' third feature, The Stranger. We also have two Netflix originals; the Alan Yang story of a Taiwanese immigrant Tigertail and the romantic comedy Love, Wedding, Repeat. We discuss some movies that have had significant impact on the history of cinema, and we talk a bit about what they meant for the time and their lasting influence. As always, it was a great time talking motion pictures and we really hope you love it. If you do, then please show your appreciation by sharing the episode on social media,

Reminder that you can subscribe either to The Movie Breakdown feed (a subscription link is at the top right hand of this site) or on iTunes (if you enjoy the show, please help us by giving us a five star review).
