          I don't understand why this one isn't better known. It's great.

            Just finished season 3 on Netflix. It was some bullshit. 😛

            I think Con Man is available on Prime. I just watched the first couple episodes, myself.

                Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

                It has a silly/dumb sounding name, a premise with every likelihood of being schlocky garbage, and no budget or marketing to speak of. And some of the cast certainly act like they know they're in a low budget flick just phoning it in. Yet Tyler Labine as Dale and Alan Tudyk as Tucker bring so much humor and endearing energy to it as a couple of misunderstood sweethearts, that it is one of my all-time favorite films.

                Honestly I like its message too. If nobody told stories about crazy homicidal hillbillies, none of the movie would’ve happened.

                  I haven't thought about this movie in like 30 years. Deep cut indeed.

                  I’ve got the criterion DVD when it first came out and yeah it’s been at least 20 years since I’ve watched it!
