(pod)Casters of Horror: 'Sick Girl' (Lucky McKee) Ep. 10

An unusually sweet episode of Masters of Horror with two eccentric central performances wows your hosts. Don’t let all the goop, slime, and creepy critters fool you, Lucky McKee’s 'Sick Girl' is remarkably tender for an episode of 'Masters of Horror.' Angela Bettis returns from Mckee’s 'May' (2001) in a superficially similar story of an eccentric loner searching for love. Here, she’s an entomologist whose field of study tends to send partners packing. Bettis affects cartoon voices throughout. Some viewers may find her performance grating, but Jim and Bennett agreed it was a series highlight while also cheering the performance of Erin “Misty Mae” Brown. Will your host’s survive this latest ordeal? Who knows!?!
