Today is "Penn And Teller Get Killed"
Starring Penn Jillette and Teller
Despite the suave, unfazed stalker and the all-too-willing practical joke playing Uncle of Penn's girlfriend, these two hysterically disturbed magicians still find ways to deeply disturb each other. In this film, bordering noir and a mystic quality, the showmen do their damnedest to stay alert, stop all-round boredom, and thrill themselves by planting fake bullets into mirrors, bribing innocent bystanders to run away from a supposed murder attempt and causing really bad feelings with an underground psychic-healing cult.
Somehow in all of this they get killed. In some weird way I have to wonder if the title of this 1989 film was somehow a parody sequel to the 1988 film of They Live.
If you can't seem to understand the pressures of showbiz and life on the road, take a look at this beautifully crafted journey into paranoia, panic attacks, and drinking way too much . . . cola!
This has been my Movie Review. They hate magic, go figure.
