CHICAGO – Theatrical satires of the Star Wars Universe are like the number of TV series the universe has wrought … too many to figure out if anything is worthwhile.

CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on November 12th, 2020, reviewing the new horror comedy “Freaky,” featuring Vince Vaughn, Kathryn Newton and Alan Ruck.
In “Freaky,” Vince Vaughn portrays the “Blissville Butcher,” a serial killer who targets teens, ala Jason from “Friday the 13th.” When he attacks a outsider teen named Millie (Kathryn Newton), a mystical occurrence takes place that allows their bodies to switch. Yep, the Butcher is Millie and vice versa, like “Freaky Friday.” In theaters.
