  • Ticks 1993 | Ep.18
    Oct 14 2026

    This week on Tonight's Second Feature, James & Rhys watch Ticks! 1993, with a runtime of only 85 minutes. Problem teens in Los Angeles join an inner-city wilderness project in an attempt to get back in touch with life's priorities, led by do-gooders Holly and Charles. When they get to the campsite, they begin having problems adjusting to the wild life, particularly local marijuana growers using herbal steroids to accelerate plant growth, and the mutated ticks that the leaky steroid system has created.


    Ticks stars Peter Scolari as Charles Danson, Seth Green as Tyler Burns, Rosalind Allen as Holly Lambert, Ami Dolenz as Dee Dee, Alfonso Ribeiro as Panic, and Clint Howard as Jarvis.
