If we’ve learned anything over this last BASTARD PUPS OF JAWS week, it’s that there are plenty of other fish (and bears and alligators and devilfish and piranha and barracuda) in the sea. These are the ten best ones that we’ve found and as you’ve read above, a movie doesn’t have to have a shark […]
At the time this was made, in the places where it was made, I haunted Market Square in between my classes in art school. This movie makes me wistful because so much of the downtown Pittsburgh that I loved — and is long gone — was there, like National Record Mart, The Oyster House, Candy […]

(Blood Cult was the first SOV video store-only distributed film; […]
I love exploring the retro-vibed, digital terrains of Tubi, as it takes me back to the simpler, analog days with a video membership card in my hand, perusing the shelves, examining the VHS sleeves for a Saturday afternoon of movie-binging.
