The Burning

The Burning Review CFIR

On this Thanksgiving Thursday, we taking you to camp with our review of the 1981 slasher flick, The Burning. In this episode, the guys ask why the hell these kids hate Old Man Cropsy so much. Seems like their prank was a little too extreme. Also, the guys make the connection to Friday the 13th. Not only is this film a clear homage to Jason and his mother, but is it possible they take place in the same universe? The guys have their theories. Later, the Crew asks whether this film was any indication of the man Harvey Weinstein would become. Finally, it’s clear Todd is the hero of this film from the first frame, but what kind of monster tells stories about the time he burned a man alive?
