Xenomania Episode 11: Luck Runs Out – The Madness of Leprechaun

In this special episode of Xenomania, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns dive headfirst into the wild, weird, and wonderfully ridiculous world of Leprechaun (1993). From its bizarre mix of horror and comedy to Warwick Davis’s delightfully deranged performance, the hosts break down what makes this cult classic both absurdly entertaining and strangely unsettling.

They explore the film’s unexpected legacy—spawning a franchise that careens from Las Vegas to outer space—and debate whether Leprechaun is just schlocky fun or a fever dream of cinematic chaos. Along the way, they dig into the folklore behind the leprechaun myth and how Hollywood has twisted it into something far more sinister (and hilarious).

Is Leprechaun a forgotten horror gem or just an exercise in madness? Grab your four-leaf clover, keep your gold hidden, and join Xenomania as they uncover the mystery behind one of horror’s most bizarre franchises.
