The Lawnmower Man (1992)

Oct 02, 2023, 05:51 AM

The Apocalypse Video Shocktober Spooktacular goes digital as we celebrate the return of the spooky season cyber-style with the 1992 VR nightmare “The Lawnmower Man”.

Prepare yourselves, kiddies. The spooooky season has officially returned. And this time…we’re going digital. All month long Apocalypse Video celebrates the scariest pixelated horrors that the cyber realm has to offer - everything from Lawnmower men to vengeful cyber cats.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we follow the white rabbit into cyber hell are fellow cinephiles and former America Online members Mike, Cody, and Immortan Hoof (aka: Nick).

Topics of discussion in this episode include the epic struggle of Stephen King to remove his name from The Lawnmower Man; we try to understand exactly what dialect Dean Norris was trying to achieve with whatever the hell he is doing in the movie; and finally, Mike and I go head to head in a debate for the ages as we pit Cyber Christ (aka: The Lawnmower Man) against Cyber Jesus (aka: RoboCop).
