Shocker (1989)
Before the internet, movies used to get sold at conventions and they’d give away pins and t-shirts after showing trailers. I had a Shocker shirt that I wore before the movie even came out and man, did I learn my lesson. Here’s where I upset a good chunk of people by saying that outside of his […]
Back to the Future (1985)
Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis came up with Back to the Future five years before it got made, but at that time, it wasn’t raunchy enough to get greenlit.

[…]
