USA UP ALL NIGHT: Pretty Poison (1968)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Pretty Poison was on USA Up All Night as one of the third movies. I can’t find the date — do you know when it aired? Dennis Pitt (Anthony Perkins) wants a life of adventure, and he gets it. On parole from a mental institution — he set the fire that accidentally claimed the life of his aunt […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT: My Chauffeur (1986)
EDITOR’S NOTE: My Chauffeur was on USA Up All Night on January 17 and December 20, 1997. Deborah Foreman is my favorite 1980’s comedy girl. From Real Genius to Valley Girl, April Fool’s Day and Waxwork, she’s always dependable, always cute and always real. She’s the kind of girl that 80s dorks like me wish we’d get as girlfriends. And people […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT: Glitch! (1988)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Glitch! was on USA Up All Night on May 3 and 4, and December 14, 1991; September 11, 1992, and March 27, 1993. Julius Lazar (Dick Gautier) and his secretary, Missy (Amy Lyndon), have finished planning his next movie, Sex and Violence, when they decide to get away for the weekend and go to Hawaii. […]
Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: Love Lies Bleeding (2024)
Sept 1-7 John Waters Best of the Year Week: To be fair, these movies aren’t ALL funny, but JOHN WATERS is funny. He’s become more of a writer and public commentator these days. Still, he helps keep the arthouse from taking itself too seriously with his annual top-ten lists, while celebrating the comically serious. Directed […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT: Caddyshack (1980)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Caddyshack was on USA Up All Night on November 16 and 17, 1990 and October 12, 1991. I ask you this: why did they keep making movies after Caddyshack? This is as perfect as film gets, quite literally a movie that you can drop into and out of at any time without damaging the timing […]
GENREBLAST FILM FESTIVAL: SHORTS BLAST #1 // FOUNDERS FEAST
A selection of darkly humorous genre shorts that match Chad & Nate’s sensibilities perfectly. In Old Ranchos (2025): Directed by Matthew Lucas, who co-wrote the story with Patrick Flynn, this is the story of an old west lawman (Krymis J. Fernando) on the run who meets a seductive siren (Natalia Berger) who offers him a chance to […]
VINEGAR SYNDROME BOX SET RELEASE: Bloodstained Italy
From Vinegar Syndrome: “Italian horror in the 1960s and 70s went through several popular tonal and thematic phases. From Gothic thrillers in the early to mid-1960s, psychedelia and monster mayhem in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and, of course, all manner of gialli and other assorted murder thrillers. But what of those films that […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT: Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Beneath the Planet of the Apes was on USA Up All Night on November 19, 1993 and March 22, 1996. Nothing succeeds like, well, success. After Planet of the Apes, producers considered several treatments before finally hiring Paul Dehn to write the movie, making him the primary writer for the films. They didn’t use the […]
Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Sept 1-7 John Waters Best of the Year Week: To be fair, these movies aren’t ALL funny, but JOHN WATERS is funny. He’s become more of a writer and public commentator these days. Still, he helps keep the arthouse from taking itself too seriously with his annual top-ten lists, while celebrating the comically serious. Max […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT: The Beach Girls (1982)
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Beach Girls was on USA Up All Night on February 19, October 14, 1991 and July 14, 1995. Bud Townsend directed Terror at Red Wolf Inn. For this, we should not make too much light of The Beach Girls, a movie with little to no plot and frequent appearances of the boom microphone. We should […]
