## Description

“This week the “Good Natured Hollywood Blowhards” tackle From Dusk Until Dawn 2&3 with Brandon Streussnig!

We talk about the strange appeal of direct to video horror movies with exceptionally low ratings, intentional/unintentional campiness, the pitfalls of emulating other director’s styles, and of course good old Twitter beef etiquette.”

## Kenny's Intro

"Hello, and welcome to Podcast Like It’s 1999, the podcast where we talk about the films of 1999, **from The Titty Twister** here in 2022."

## Historical Information

### Texas Blood Money

"A veteran criminal planning a major bank robbery, Buck (Robert Patrick) assembles a team to pull off the heist. When the fugitive Luther (Duane Whitaker) travels to meet the crew in Mexico, he unexpectedly ends up near a bar in the middle of the desert and gets turned into a vampire by one of the establishment's fang-sporting regulars. Before long, Luther joins his fellow felons at the bank, but his newfound blood-sucking ways result in plenty of fierce human and vampire conflict."
