      He's magical. Even his name sounds like something a from a gritty 80s or 90s B movie character would be named. Like an over the top gritty police detective who's names everyone either whispers in fear or screams in terror, like "oh God, it's DETECTIVE IRONSIDES! [cue Michael Ironsides punching his fist clean through a criminals torso]"

    While my pick didn't get selected, Visiting Hours (1982) made for a pretty entertaining episode! I'm actually a little surprised it didn't get reviewed sooner!
    As for William Shatner playing a serial killer... I'm surprised the Cinema Snob didn't bring up his role in Impulse (1974). It was one of the earliest Cinema Snob episode all the way back in 2007!

    I suppose it would be nice if Shatner was the killer, but imagine if he and Ironside switched roles, pretty much everyone who saw the movie would wonder why this minor character was so much more terrifying than the actual killer.

    Michael Ironside is a great actor he can usually project menacing yet also project authority he can portray either evil villains or a tough military figure you need to salute in authority. Recently I saw him in the film Nobody even if it is a supporting role he still does it with class.

  • @aliciabruder1106
    @aliciabruder1106 Před rokem +10

    Good to know this may be what my grandfather would’ve been like if he became a serial killer. The killer’s backstory nearly fits with my grandfather’s childhood to a tee. Its so weird but yet makes sense as my grandfather did have many undiagnosed mental health disorders, bipolar and sociopathy are most suspected. Also I would like to have seen Shatner is a killer role versus his good guy or cocky a-hole-ish roles.

    Lee Grant took the role for the money so she could build a stone fence around her house and property thus increasing their value should she and her partner ever decided to sell it. In fact she confessed to taking any and all offers for the money, not because “it was an interesting part”.

He was blowing up at that time after Scanners - he was in a bunch of movies and of course, V. He was just a treasure to watch. LOL (Linda Purl was actually becoming pretty big at that time too). Thank you so much for doing this hilarious video, Snob! I would have a hard time choosing on the poll, but not for #1 Visiting Hours - my trouble choosing was from 2-7 choices. hehe Holy Shatner!
