The Lawnmower Man with Flula Borg
Episode 251, Oct 02, 08:00 AM
Kingcast royalty Flula Borg (Pitch Perfect 2, The Suicide Squad) makes his triumphant return to the show and watches the batshit insane The Lawnmower Man. If you've seen the movie, you know it's a wild one. Problematic? Yes. Entertaining? Kinda. A good adaptation? Absolutely not. You will hear talk about VR murder chimps, Pierce Brosnan's absurdly hairy chest, the "give me your tongue" scene, Dippin' Dots, and Hank from Breaking Bad.
What began as a weird short story with mythological overtones about an absurdly large man who eats a ton of lawn clippings ended up as a movie about a mentally challenged lawnmower who becomes VR Hitler thanks to Pierce Brosnan with an earring. This is the movie so radically different from the source material that it inspired not just one, but two different lawsuits from Stephen King.
