April Fool's Day (1986) | THE CHERRY PICKER Episode 103

🥂 We love a holiday-themed horror, especially when it's from the 80s, made by one of the producers as Friday the 13th, and starring Amy Steel to boot. But is April Fool's Day really a horror movie? We'll unpack that question in this episode, and discuss the version of the movie that never was, including the missing third act that was even filmed and everything. We'll also nominate which characters we think were most deserving of death, so be sure to stick around til the end of the episode.

The main thing that makes me love April Fool's Day is the chemistry between the characters, they're so fun to watch

[@VelociRipley2092]

Also! April Fools Day ending at noon is a UK (and I guess Canadian?) thing. In the United States it's all day

[@mparantha]

@40:37, that's basically the premise of the remake. An april fools day prank turns deadly and the friends are killed off a year or sometimes later. The premise of a deadly prank/revenge plot is pretty common though in slashers

[@strifenineteen]

Except much like this movie the other friends weren't killed except for 1

I LOVE this classic 80's movie! It's TONS of fun!

[@gottagetitgaming7759]

I always liked this movie. Lots of faces I remember from the 80's and just a fun playful movie. Not really a slasher, not really a comedy and definitely not a nail biter, but I still enjoy it. And yes, that cover is now so classic. Another great video guys. Thanks.

Mr Cherry and Edward are incapable of producing a bad podcast! Love your work and you play off each other so well, a dynamic duo!

[@chrisgrove7829]

Ah so glad Eddie identified Clayton Ronner from Just One of the Guys from 1985 There was a lot of gleeful talent in that flick:)

[@shawnwhite6236]

I love the music for this movie

[@mparantha]

Happy birthday to me is great. That'd be a fun re-watch

[@MajorReaction]

April Fool's day is definitely all day long

[@irotkcesliv]

Deborah Foreman was Julie in Valley Girl

[@LelahWells]

HI!

[@mparantha]

I find this to be a very fun slasher-esque film
