Every third Thursday of the month prepare for scares and laughs as Ben and Henry (and Ed) host/mock a horror movie. This weeks choice… Friday The 13th The Final Chapter. Not my favorite of the series but probably great [...]
Man Vs Machine
I’ve been called a Luddite on more than one occasion. Having a healthy fear of technology is a good thing in my book. So you might understand why the fact that a computer whooping the asses of two of the biggest Jeopardy champions might just cause me to freak out a bit. Check out part [...]
Outpost 31
Last Halloween, I sewed an Outpost 31 patch on my wintercoat and made believe that I was R.J. MacReady from John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi horror masterpiece The Thing. The other guy is my buddy, James, dressed as ol’ Jack Burton from Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China. We’re Big Kurt Russell fans! This winter I [...]
The Compleat Al
Today I bought a Laserdisc player off my coworker Javier. When he told me about this I jumped at the chance to buy it. I’ve had a copy of The Compleat Al, the rare “Weird Al” Yankovic mockumentary, on Laserdisc for years. I got it at Love Saves The Day (R.I.P) because it was signed, [...]
Psychos In Love
Getting ready to go to a friend’s Valentines Day gathering where we will be watching one of my all time favorite movies Psychos In Love.

Bucko Trading and Von Erickson Laboratories Present Franken-Fest 2011 A.D. (or… What Mary Shelley NEVER Imagined) Now just try to tell me this doesn’t already sound awesome. Watch me seal the [...]
Mosquito
Millions of years of evolution have just become mankind’s worst nightmare. While on a trip to a video store that has decided to close its doors after nearly 25 years in the business, I finally found a VHS copy of the 1994 Gary Jones‘ giant killer insect flick Mosquito, and about 80 other tapes for that matter. [...]
Night Of The Living Barbies
Last week Mattel created quite a buzz with the release of their Barbie dolls based off of the 1980′s television show Dynasty. Honestly I barely remember the show but I’m guessing it has a pretty big cult following cause the dolls sold out immediately and people are still asking for them. What I do know [...]
Superbowling for Dollars
The Super Bowl has come and gone. Who won? Who cares? Not I. What I do care about is all those movie trailer premiers. Now most people run down their list of most and least favorites, but honestly that’s a mute point considering they all pretty much sucked. That’s right, I said it, they totally [...]
Munsters from Mars
Rumors of The Munsters remake for NBC have been all over the internet for the past couple months. Helming this project is Bryan Fuller, the man who made death cute with shows like Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies. Now don’t take that the wrong way, I really dug those shows. The only other name [...]
RIP TURA SATANA
Cult queen Tura Satana passed away Friday night. Tura Satana, the actress whose authoritative presence, exotic looks and buxom frame commanded the attention of viewers of Russ Meyer’s 1965 cult movie “Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!”, died on Friday evening in Reno, Nev. I remember my first time seeing Tura Satana was in Ted V. Mikels’ [...]
