Episode 02: Extremely Wicked, Shocking Evil and Vile
Show Notes:
In episode 02, Avery and Alec watch Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, the Ted Bundy biopic starring Zac Efron and Lily Collins. Before you commit to this 1 hour and 49 minute Netflix original, check out our review about what this film got wrong (casting) and what it got right (washboard abs).
In this review we cover:
Casting: Zac Efron as Ted Bundy had us feeling like maybe there was better, taller, less-buzzy choice to play one of America’s most infamous killers.
Pace and plot structure: Extremely Wicked follows the legal antics of Bundy as he refuses to admit guilt, and as his long-time girlfriend, Liz (Collins) refuses to acknowledge the mounting evidence against him.
Tone: With all the movies, podcasts, documentaries, and #OriginalContent coming out about serial killers, we wondered what this film had to offer that was different, and what tone it was trying to strike.
