NEON BLU-RAY RELEASE: Splitsville (2025)
If you saw The Climb back in 2019, you know that Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin have turned toxic male friendship into an endurance sport into a high art form. In Splitsville, they’re back to poke at the bruises of the modern ego, this time with Neon backing the play and Dakota Johnson and […]
LIBERATION HALL BLU-RAY RELEASE: The Buster Keaton Show (1949)
By the late 1940s, Buster Keaton, the man who literally reinvented what a human body could do on film, was basically a ghost. He was doing daywork, a four-week circus stint in Paris and touring in a stage production of The Gorilla. It looked like the credits had rolled on one of the greatest careers […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU RAY RELEASE: The Screaming (2000)
Bob Martin (Vinnie Bilancio) is your average college kid with bad skin, worse grades and a diet consisting mostly of instant ramen and existential dread. That all changes when he moves into a spare room owned by Crystal Traum (Wendi Winburn). She’s the kind of ice-cold blonde who looks like she stepped off a 1940s […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU RAY RELEASE: Fungicide (2002)
David Wascavage is probably best known for Suburban Sasquatch, but before that movie, he made this berserk film that is all about a scientist named Silas Purcell (David Weldon) whose parents (played by Loretta and Edward Wascavage, the director’s mom and dad) send him to a bed and breakfast to try and calm down. He brings […]
APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 30: The Paranormal (1998)
April 30: Visual Vengeance Day — Write about a movie released by Visual Vengeance. Here’s a list to help you find a movie. In the decaying industrial suburb of Englewood, the historic Grandview Theater is facing its final curtain. But as the last reel of a forgotten, low-budget schlock-fest titled Grave Rot spins, the screen doesn’t just display […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Mitchell (1975)
Mitchell reveals a lot of misconceptions. First: Joe Don Baker was once presented as the kind of sex symbol who didn’t just get Linda Evans in bed, he was kind of angry about it. Second: Mitchell was not intended to be riffed on. And yet here we are, with a movie that most people know from […]

WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Mighty Peking Man (1977)
Dino De Laurentiis gave the world a $25 million remake of King Kong. A year later, Runme Shaw looked at that poster and said, “Hold my tiger bone wine.” If there is one thing Shaw Brothers knows how to do, it’s take a Western trend, give you some cinematic LSD and feed it through a […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Messiah of Evil (1973)
Once abandoned to the wilds of public domain DVD sets, Messiah of Evil was for a time the gold amongst the dross, a film of incredible power. Hidden amongst old television shows, near-unwatchable transfers of Spanish horror and video store-era throwaways, it held a haunting power. Did I see that? Is this movie real? Can […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Meatcleaver Massacre (1977)
You have to admire the balls of the makers of this movie. Actually, you can probably see them from space. They bought footage of Sir Christopher Lee from another movie and used it as the beginning and end of this movie, then said the film stars the venerable thespian. Learning that a lawsuit would be long […]
