Episode 128 - The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)

Here it is! It's all been building to this! The epic conclusion of "Summer Surprise," and one of our most anticipated....err, or should we say dreaded episodes yet! That's right, it's 1987's The Garbage Pail Kids, based on the controversial, extremely popular, '80s Topps trading card set parodying the mega-successful Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. How does one make a movie out of a non-narrative trading card line? Is the proper target audience for a Garbage Pail Kids movie kids or adults? Can an audience handle over 90 minutes of looking at purposely disgusting mutant children and their various body fluids? Is the world of fashion a proper setting for an anarchic, gross-out comedy? And, most importantly, does "Small Town Witch Summer" continue? We explore all these questions and more, as we finally dive into the intentional stinky, slimy junk-pile that is The Garbage Pail Kids Movie.
