Bounty Hunter Boobies.
In March, in addition to celebrating one of 2026’s three Friday the 13s with Steve Miner’s Friday the 13th Part III (listen) and the arrival of Spring with Robin Hardy‘s The Wicker Man (listen), we also snuck in a rewatch of the OG Ready or Not (listen).
Now we’re celebrating Easter with Mick Garris‘s feature directorial debut: Critters 2: The Main Course (1988).
In the film, bounty hunters Ug (Terrence Mann) and Charlie (Don Keith Opper) return to Earth, along side Lee, who takes on the form of a Playboy playmate (Roxanne Kernohan) when they touch down. It turns out that several Critter eggs have laid dormant in Grover’s Bend and it’s up to them, as well as disgraced figures Brad Brown (Scott Grimes) and former Sheriff Harv (now played by Barry Corbin), as well as Brad’s new love interest Megan (Liane Alexandra Curtis), to rally the town to fight back.
Will the Critters eat all of the meat? Will the town’s sanctuary – the Church – fall? And will there be far too many resurrection/Easter jokes? No, no, and absolutely yes.

Episode 380: Critters 2: The Main Course (1988)
Prep your Critter ball because we are celebrating Easter with Mick Garris’ feature directorial debut, Critters 2: The Main Course (1988).
Two years after the events of the first film, the town of Grover’s Bend is once again beset by alien Critters and bounty hunters, but this time the fight expands to include the whole town and Lee has adopted a sexy Playboy image (we have thoughts!)
Plus: Justice for skeleton man, death for little Cindy, statutory rape charges for Megan, practical FX from the Chiodo Brothers, and a Canadian vodka detour from Joe.
We might be delirious for this one.
