Leprechaun 3 (1995) | Episode #99
Episode description
In this episode of the Such a Nightmare podcast, hosts Katherine Troyer and Toni Tresca explore the magic and horror of Vegas as they discuss the 1995 horror comedy film Leprechaun 3.
Episode Highlights: We frame our discussion of the film by considering how it serves as the third installment in the franchise. We appreciate how the film provides some wacky fun and weird kills that complements the first two Leprechaun films. And, of course, we are always here for Warwick Davis! On the other hand, we also talk about areas where we felt the film fell short. In particular, we thought the liminal and uncanny space that is Las Vegas was under-utilized. It's a perfect location for a Leprechaun film; however, we had hoped for more over-the-top-ness, not to mention more magic...of the staged and leprechaun variety.
A Dose of Scholarship: There really isn't much in the way of scholarship on the Leprechaun franchise....so if this franchise is your jam, start writing!
