EDITOR’S NOTE: No Other Love was on the CBS Late Movie on October 6, 1982 and November 1, 1983. Before The Other Sister, there was this movie, which has Richard Thomas (John-Boy from The Waltons* to some, Shad in Battle Beyond the Stars to me) and Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson!) as mentally challenged adults who want to get […]
If you find a spacious New York apartment for $285 a month — even in 1987 — you aren’t getting a bargain. You’re probably getting a ticket to hell, baby. Sandy Darhaus (Perry Lang) is a yuppie investment banker with the kind of high-strung, large-ham energy that makes you root for the ghosts from minute […]

Week 14 (Sept. 20 – 26) – THE END! Post-Apocalyptic Cinema: Make sure to pull the ladder up on the way out At the end of the world, we will all have to be part of the high-stakes, white-knuckle world of aggressive corporate towing.

Check out this documentary from when Erik and Phillip came to Pittsburgh and explored some of our movie locations. AC Nicholas and I show up! I love when people come to my hometown and enjoy it.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Bad Georgia Road was on the CBS Late Movie on January 23, 1981. Released around a month after Smokey and the Bandit to drive-ins across the American South by Dimension Pictures, this played double bills with The Great Smokey Roadblock or Hi-Riders. It follows city slicker Molly Golden (Carol Lynley), who learns she’s […]
September Drive-In Super Monster-Rama is back at The Riverside Drive-In Theatre, September 19 and 20, 2025. Two big nights with four feature films each night include: When I was a kid, I remember asking my dad what movies he thought were scary. He answered Night of the Living Dead and Gargoyles, so I was always nervous to […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: Deadly Blessing was on the CBS Late Movie on March 28 and July 14, 1988. Alright, I’ll admit it: I don’t like Wes Craven, but I liked this movie. The Hittites are a religious community who “make the Amish look like swingers,” and even when people like Jim Schmidt escape it, they keep […]
Week 14 (Sept. 20 – 26) – THE END! Post-Apocalyptic Cinema: Make sure to pull the ladder up on the way out God is Dead. Hell Still Exists. Well, that’s a great tagline and an even better poster. As for the movie, well…it tries. In the future, society is divided into a strict class structure with the […]
