KBK After Dark: The Hitchhiker "Face To Face" (w/ Kay Lynch)
Love is in the air, and revenge is ready to catch a ride as we talk HBO’s “Twilight Zone with boobs” - The Hitchhiker! This particular episode of the series was brought to us by the director of the Salem Horror Fest (and Returning Champion), Kay Lynch because it does the impossible: make anyone care about a character in this paper-thin anthology series!! Along the way, we dig into why this TV episode from 1983 has a more nuanced examination of the trans experience than we’ve seen from a lot of media in the last 40 years as we cringe at bra slicing, examine Robert Vaughn’s toupee, crossover with Mission Impossible, worship at the alter of Sybil Danning, and take up the scalpel with the liquor shakes!! All this, plus we visit exotic Airport Bar, cut up our usual Choose Your Own Deathventure game, and change how you’ll look at pizza for a while!! It’s a real “laugh until you cry” situation for this episode of Kill By Kill: After Dark!!
