Arachnophobia

This week we get alllllll creepy crawly. We
watched Arachnophobia, another movie, like almost all
movies, that doesn't have nearly enough John Goodman! 


“Before Eight-Legged Freaks made spiders scream-worthy and before
Jeff Daniels became America’s favorite newsroom anchor, there was
Arachnophobia—the movie that turned every shoe, vacuum, and
rolled-up newspaper into a weapon of survival.


This week on Myopia Movies, we crawl back to 1990 to face our
fears—literally—with a horror-comedy that dares to ask: what if
your quaint small town was overrun by an army of venomous spiders
with a taste for blood… and interior design?


Is it scary? Is it silly? Is it the Jaws of the jungle gym set?
Let’s put it to the test as we examine toxic masculinity,
arachnid-based paranoia, and John Goodman as a pest control
cowboy who deserves his own franchise.


So shake out your shoes, check the corners of your room, and join
us for Arachnophobia—a movie that proves once and for all: nature
is coming for us… one creepy leg at a time.”
How will Arachnophobia hold up?
