MVD BLU-RAY RELEASE: Starbright (2026)
On a weathered farm at the edge of a fading small town, Aisling (Alexandra Dowling) is carrying a weight far too heavy for her young frame.

MILL CREEK MAD SCIENTIST THEATER MONTH: The Mad Monster (1942)
PRC (Producers Releasing Corporation) was the undisputed king of keeping things fast and cheap. Their film, The Mad Monster, asks a very simple question: What if we won World War II by injecting our soldiers with wolf blood? Dr. Lorenzo Cameron (George Zucco) is a scientist with a grudge. After the academic community, the press […]
Dark Romances Vol. 1 (1990)
Originally pitched to Playboy as an episodic late-night horror anthology, the network deemed it too bloody. So directors Patricia Miller and the late Mark Shepard did what any true guerrilla filmmakers would do: they edited three hours and twenty-eight minutes of camcorder madness and unleashed it straight to tape via Film Threat Video. What you […]

Super Troopers 3 (2026)
I love an R-rated comedy. We don’t get enough of them, and hey, I grew up on lemon popsicles, by which I mean teen sex comedies, as well as Police Academy and all of its many descendants. Remember when that gang of Vermont state troopers won over our hearts by meowing, playing the license-and-registration game, […]
B & S About Movies podcast Episode 162: Teen sex comedies
There is no defense for teen sex comedies and I don’t care. That’s what I feel like talking about, the movies where twentysomething youths all converge on a beach, a frat party or a fart contest to start making out, making babies and getting in trouble. Youth is wasted on the young. This episode, I’ll […]
MILL CREEK MAD SCIENTIST THEATER MONTH: Torture Ship (1939)
Directed by Victor Halperin (White Zombie, Supernatural) Torture Ship is based (extremely loosely) on Jack London’s 1899 short story A Thousand Deaths. This brief 64-minute oddity blends sci-fi, pre-code-style gangster tropes and maritime melodrama into a surprisingly fun, breezy exploitation flick. Irving Pichel stars as Dr. Herbert Stander, a rogue physician obsessed with proving that […]
