Chopping Mall

About this episode

It’s spooky season at Hoot’n & Holler’n, and Joey has subjected the rest of us to the 1986 sci-fi horror masterpiece(?) Chopping Mall. A group of definitely-not-teenagers gets locked inside a mall overnight with three security robots that have been struck by lightning and decided murder is now part of the job description. Naturally, we have questions. We break down killer robots moving two miles an hour, an alarming amount of readily available propane, the mall’s complete disregard for fire codes, the romantic power of smelling like pepperoni, and one of the greatest phrases ever committed to film: “Rambo-Gram.” Plus, Matt discovers the rules of ’80s horror movies in real time. Chopping Mall. Come for the robots. Stay because the steel security doors have locked you inside.
