WEIRD WEDNESDAY: O.C. and Stiggs (1985)
The actual release date for this movie is under some debate: director Robert Altman — yes, the same one who did Nashville — shot the film in 1983; it was copyrighted in 1985, then shelved until it got a small theatrical release in 1987 and 1988. The reason for the 1983–1988 delay was simple: MGM had […]
CULT EPICS BLU-RAY RELEASE: Wan Pipel (1976)
Before this movie, director Pim de la Parra and producer Wim Verstappen were the kings of Dutch sleaze. Operating under their legendary Scorpio Films banner, these guys were cranking out high-energy, low-budget, skin-filled exploitation flicks like Blue Movie and Frank and Eva. They knew how to put butts in seats. But then, after Suriname gained […]
A24 BLU-RAY RELEASE: Materialists (2025)
The sophomore feature from Celine Song, the director who had everyone crying into their popcorn with Past Lives, Materialists is all about the high-stakes, maximum-dollar world of New York City matchmaking.

MILL CREEK DVD RELEASE: Someone Like You (2024)
Look, I usually spend my time watching 1970s Italian cannibal flicks, shot-on-video weirdness or movies that get under a 2 on IMDb. But every now and again, a movie comes along that is so completely outside of the B&S comfort zone that I just have to sit down and watch it. That brings us to […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Oasis of Fear (1971)
Dick Butler (Ray Lovelock, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue) and Ingrid Sjorman (Ornella Muti, Flash Gordon) are trying to enjoy their own summer of love, traveling through Italy and paying for it with porn magazines and nudes of Ingrid. They get put through a relentless wringer. First, the police bust their smut-peddling operation; then, […]
88 FILMS BLU-RAY RELEASE: Hsi Shih: Beauty Of Beauties (1965)
After flipping the bird to the Shaw Brothers assembly line in Hong Kong to set up his own Grand Motion Picture Company in Taiwan, director Li Han-hsiang decided his opening statement shouldn’t just compete with his former bosses. It should make Hollywood’s bloated historical epics look like a local high school theater production. The result? […]
NEON BLU-RAY RELEASE: Shelby Oaks (2024)

Starting out as a viral, real-world alternate-reality game called The […]
