GAM Bonus 085: Wishmaster

Best worst wish-granting genie ever!

Comments

this movie is dumb as hell but I kind of genuinely enjoyed it; the combination of stupid plot and great production value (2 or 3 instances of bad cg aside) made it a really fun watch.

DOKKEN! DOKKEN! Mr scary is a fave

Markus Nävergård

Fuck yeah, Noah. NoES 3, THE DREAM WARRIORS- theme song performed by Motherfuckin' DOKKEN!!

BT Dubs

If you look at the dates, Robert Englund played Willie and Freddy in the same year (I was obsessed with him in high school)

Winter wiorkowski

PLEASE DO WISHMASTER 2 or 3

Joseph Calkins

They do not, in fact, realize that, but he DID put his name on it

Hey, genie guy played by Noah: if it makes you feel better, Amelia Bedelia is hot, and we're not the only ones that think so. She's got a surprising amount of fanart for a character that didn't have a TV show

Bunny Bismuth, Bun-Bun of Seething

it's pronounced Djinn ;)

Adam Pope

if one wants scary Djinns, ifrits are you to go or Ghuls. Ghuls are Djinns that feed on the dead and hang around in cementaries

Markus Nävergård

I feel like i recall eli mentioning recording this on Dear Old Dads several weeks ago, this was probably before the heart attack. I'd love to be wrong though.

potato potato also another potato

wich is why horror movies are among the most profitable generas. very little cost of making them and very high profit even if they are terrible

Markus Nävergård

I was coming to bring that up as well. Ahura Mazda was the inspiration for the late Jewish/early Christian conception of god after the Jews were freed from Persian rule. He was source of all light, knowledge and goodness. Angra Mainu/Ahriman would have been the correct option for a collection of evil.

Uriah Jackson

Not enough respect was given to the security guard in this episode. That ain’t some guy that’s Tony Todd aka Candyman

Kevin McGonigle

Wes wrote and created Freddy/Nightmare. Ghostface was created by Kevin Williamson.

B. King

Noah's all the way back!

Julie LaVoice

How on EARTH did they greenlight sequels?!

Denise Huston

... They do realize Wes Craven didn't direct this, right?

Damion Damaske

hmm maybe the smoking could be a refrence that Djinns in islam are made from smoke less fire. Well ifrits are. Genies are made from fire.

Markus Nävergård

So Craven only produced Wishmaster. Putting his name on it was part of the side deals done to get Scream (1996) done. And for Wishmaster it worked. Cost 5mil, made 15mil despite being terrible.

B. King

why would a satue of Azhura mazda be cursed with evil? it should be Angra maniyu ( Arhiman) the evil god of Zorastrism. Movie makers cant research

Markus Nävergård

OMG Noah you are SO right! Robert Englund, Freddy he may be, is Willie every time I see him

Paul Arndt

"French Maid costume". Heath knows.

Scott Lesch

I'm a dad. I read those stories to my daughter. Yes Amelia Bedelia is hot. The maid costume? The black stockings?

Scott Lesch

True Fact: Wes Craven got degrees in English and psychology from Wheaton College for Christ and His Kingdom.

Timothy Lehnerer

I enjoyed that, thank you.

Mark Smith

Also if you think this one had problems the second and third wish master are even more GAM worthy. A teaser you have a fight between the Djinn and The Arch Angel Michael possessing some college kid.

Kevin McGonigle

Point of contention. Freddy was not the peak of Wes Craven that would be ghost face

Kevin McGonigle

That wishbone came true!
