Stasis Pod Extra #7: Cast a Deadly Spell

Scheduling nonsense has us off on another diversion this week! The boys watch an old HBO original movie with a problematic element, and it’s not just that the main character is named H.P. Lovecraft. It’s Cast a Deadly Spell, a detective tale with magic starring Fred Ward, David Warner, a cast of character actors, and monstrous muppets. It’s a made-for-cable 90s movie, set in the noir 40s, based upon concepts of 20s weird horror. So there is a content warning about there being a trans character, or drag queen, the movie doesn’t think about that character too much because the 90s.
