Cisco Kid Movie Collection: Beauty and the Bandit (1946)
The Cisco Kid (Gilbert Roland) attacks a stagecoach carrying a wealthy young French person named Du Bois who ends up being Jeanne Du Bois (Ramsay Ames).

Spagvemberfest 2023: Blood Money (1974)
Also known as The Stranger and the Gunfighter, Là dove non batte il sole (Where the Sun Doesn’t Shine) and El kárate, el Colt y el impostor (Karate, Colt and the Imposter), Blood Money comes from the era where Shaw Brothers was working on other genre mash-ups as part of international co-productions like Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires.

MILL CREEK SCI-FI CLASSICS: Zontar, the Thing from Venus (1967)
Zontar, the Thing from Venus is one of the many remakes of Roger Corman movies — this one is It Conquered the World — directed by Larry Buchanan. This starts at a dinner party. That’s where NASA scientist Dr. Keith Ritchie (Anthony Huston) reveals to Dr. Curt Taylor (John Agar) that he’s been secretly meeting with an […]
MILL CREEK SCI-FI CLASSICS: The Wild Women of Wongo (1958)

This costume was years later brought out of storage for Jerry […]
TUBI ORIGINAL: Big Bruh (2023)
Big Bruh is from Bento Box, the same people who brought you Bob’s Burgers, Duncanville, The Great North and Housebroken on Fox and Pastacolypse and Millenial Hunter on Tubi. Created by writer, stand-up comic and Duncanville co-producer Jerron Horton. Big Bruh is described as “a satirical comedy about a famous, undefeated boxer who is as ignorant as he […]
MILL CREEK SCI-FI CLASSICS: The Wasp Woman (1959)
Produced and directed by Roger Corman, this movie was originally a double feature with Beast from Haunted Cave. When it was released to TV two years later, a new prologue was added by director Jack Hill to add to its running time. The musical score from this film may seem familiar because it’s the same […]
