Leprechaun (1993): Fast Cars, Chasing Gold, and Four-Leaf Clovers #25

This week, Richard and Angeles go toe-to-toe with a pint-sized terror in Leprechaun (1993)—a horror-comedy hybrid that asks the real question: what happens when you mess with a magical guy’s gold?
We’re breaking down Warwick Davis’s wild performance, Jennifer Aniston’s debut, and the film’s mix of slapstick and splatter. From pogo-stick kills to four-leaf plot armor, we dissect how Leprechaun became one of horror’s most bizarre franchises—and whether its campy chaos is worth the pot at the end of the rainbow.
