Only Michael has been credited and the two have fought at convention after convention ever since.

As they both attend the Mad Monster Party horror convention, they learn that a modern End Zone will be made and they can both audition. That movie will start one hour into End Zone two before it retcons everything that happened after.

It’s pretty amazing that a This Is Spinal Tap documentary comedy could be made about slasher movies but that’s because we understand the genre’s conventions. And, well, conventions. If you’ve spent any time doing that awkward walk past near-empty stars of the past and the hangers-on who attempt to be important by being in their orbit, this movie will more than ring true.

Directors Sophia Cacciola and Michael J. Epstein, who also brough the world Blood of the Triblades, Magentic and Ten really know what they’re doing. This was a blast.
