Four years ago I got to see them under their ‘secret show name’ The Holy Shits in the Hollywood Palladium parking lot with Taylor Hawkins’ Chevy Metal cover band opening. I got to catch a drum stick that day and was under the impression I’d get to see them under their more well known band […]
Have you ever seen a trailer for a movie and got pumped for the release all for a delay of over 5 years? Yeah I been looking forward to this one for a while and purely from a visual criteria, Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires was certainly more than worth the wait. Living in […]
Troma has proudly been disrupting media for 46 years and is back with their newest offering #Shakespearesshitstorm, a tromatic take on the Tempest. In his version of the tempest Lloyd Kaufman takes on Big Pharma and Shakespeare in his newest and most likely his last feature film to direct. Lloyd Kaufman plays prospero a brilliant […]

Archive 81 is a new supernatural horror series currently streaming on Netflix. It is based off a found footage podcast of the same name. The show is only eight one-hour-long episodes. It is a relatively quick viewing; I binge-watched the entire first season in two days. The series follows two different timelines and the mysteries […]

I feel like he is still Spider-Boy and has yet to grow into Spider-Man. His decisions, well-intentioned or not, seem more naive than idealistic. In general, the MCU […]
It’s been 32 years since we last saw the original gang in Ghostbusters II, which was released back in June of 1989. After years of speculation, developmental hell projects, and an underwhelming remake, moviegoers finally get to witness the next chapter of the Ghostbusters franchise. The movie is directed by Jason Reitman (Juno, Thank You […]
These last few days, I found myself leapfrogging across three districts in LA to see what totaled to 8 of the little under 50 movies playing at Beyond Fest. What is Beyond Fest? It’s less of a film festival and more of a series of screenings that I would best classify as “2021’s Festival Darlings” […]
The year 1981 was a great year for the slasher film. The genre classics The Burning, Friday the 13th Part 2, My Bloody Valentine, and The Prowler were all released that year. All are similar in plot but each stands out on its own. The focus of this review is on The Prowler. The plot […]
