The Sizzlin’ Something Weird Summer Challenge 2024: Let Me Die a Woman (1977)
Doris Wishman week (July 21 – 27) Doris made the loopiest of movies. A self-proclaimed prude who made nudist camp movies, her filmography is filled with contradictions. When she tried to be mean spirited with something like Bad Girls Go To Hell there was always an undercurrent of silliness and fun, but when she tried […]

CBS LATE MOVIE MONTH: Dragonslayer (1981)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Dragonslayer was on the CBS Late Movie on February 13, 1987. After Popeye, this was the second joint production with Paramount of films that were more mature than the expected Disney offerings.

CBS LATE MOVIE MONTH: It’s Alive (1974)
EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s Alive was on the CBS Late Movie on July 11 and December 22, 1986 and September 30, 1987. The TV commercial for It’s Alive terrified me. The music, the slowly turning bassinet, the fact that a demon baby was inside — it was too much for my child brain to handle. I would […]

Directed by Stephen Hopkins (Predator 2) and written by Terry Black (Dead Heat), this episode is the story of Helen (Mimi Rogers), who is getting older and still trying to be a model. That means that she might have to murder the younger women, like Joyce (Kathy Ireland) and Druscilla (Jennifer Rubin). “Hello, kiddies. What’s […]
