On its face, Happy Death Day feels very much like a slasher movie spin of 1993’s time-loop comedy Groundhog Day. While it is that, director Christopher Landon manages to transcend that premise to create one of the best horror-comedies in recent years and a truly underrated sequel.
On this episode, Robert Stewart of Stew World Order joins the show to talk not only about 2017’s Happy Death Day but its 2019 sequel, Happy Death Day 2U. We’ll talk about Jessica Rothe’s standout performance, how the franchise crosses genre lines, and what we want from Happy Death Day 3.
