The Netflix Corner #13


Oh damn, I almost forgot. What with all the B-fests and me being sick and "Long Kiss Goodnight" and whatnot. Anyway, without further ado:


If you haven't seen "The Burning" you have a problem. Or you're just not aware of it. Either way, it features a young George Constanza, a young Fisher Stevens, and Holly Hunter is running around there somewhere. It's a decent slasher that may or may not rip off "Friday the 13th". Might be a bit slow. But I still recommend it if you haven't seen it.

With that done, onto The Netflix Game! Here are the current scores:

Nick-29
Dan-17
Steve-9
Dylan-5
Rachel-4
Joanna-3
Joe-2

And here are last week's answers:
Hard: A band goofs off while on tour.-A Hard Days Night
Medium: A band tries not to break up.-Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (I should've made this the hard clue)
Easy: Everything that can go wrong while on tour does.-This Is Spinal Tap

Here's this week's clues:
Hard: A bunch of random scenes occur.
Medium: A bunch of random scenes revolve around a TV station.
Easy: A bunch of random scenes revolve around an experimental drug.
(The key to unlocking this is if you figure out one of them, then you know what direction I'm going in for the others.)

Good luck!

Medium: Broadcast News
Easy: A Scanner Darkly

I don't see the connection, so I'm likely wrong.

Nope, sorry Dan.

Medium--UHF?

Jason Soto said...

Nope. Maybe I made these a bit TOO hard.

Jason Soto said...

Dave: You got it! Welcome to the board! Now maybe people can figure out the medium based on this!

Dan said...

Anchorman?

Jason Soto said...

No Dan.

Ok, Hint #1: '80s comedy.
Hint #2: Look at the other two right answers and go from there.

Nick said...

I think I see the connection. I just have no idea what the movie is.

Dylan said...

It just really seems like UHF. Hard to think of another sketch film from the 80s that revolves around a TV station.

Jason Soto said...

Ok here's your giveaway hint: Steve Guttenberg.
-Jason

Dylan said...

Amazon Women on the Moon.

Yea, totally forgot about that flick, and Google wasn't helping.

GO DYLAN!! CONGRATS! (After giving tons of hints :P)
