A notorious underground classic for the last 25 years, this so-called American Video Nasty is finally available to a mass audience. And thanks to Visual Vengeance — due diligence, I’ve recorded several commentary tracks and written liner notes for some upcoming films — this is available for the first time ever on blu ray. If you haven’t seen one of their releases yet, it’s like the Criterion Collection grew a sack and stopped releasing movies that eight snooty people care about and started releasing movies that eight maniacs care about with all the love and care that pure cinema deserves, if pure cinema is a movie with a flying zombie baby.

Directed by Matt Jaissle from a script by Todd Tjersland and Sammy Shapiro, things get started when police detectives Martin Manners (Steve Sheppard) and Orville Sloane (Gary Browning) arrive too late to save Manners’ sister from being the next target of hockey-masked rapist serial killer Logan (Isaac Cooper), a killer who has aready claimed two hundred victims. Manners snaps when he gets to the scene and becomes judge, jury and executioner as he blows Logan away.

Some time later, a Luciferian gang marches through the cemetery where Logan has been buried. They kill his infant child — living up to the promise of the Satanic Panic — and throw it into Logan’s grave before taking turns urinating on its dead corpse, all the while chanting rituals and making you consider whether you’re ready for what this movie has to deliver. This ceremony brings Logan back, except now he has a yard-long appendage and he’s ready to use it on any girl unlucky enough to get in his way, including German porn star Dru Berrymore and a girl who is assaulting the tradesman’s entrance of a blow-up doll that Logan falls in love with.

Keep in mind — this baby is totally a toy and that fact is never disguised, pushing this movie from simply strange into sheer madness, the kind that I hunt down and treasure.

Two of the cult members, Barney (Jason McGee) and Jack (Christian Curmudgeon) are trying to escape the carnage they created, as the baby comes back as a flying zombie with a cartoon voice and Manners continues to go down a dark path filled with violence and drug use.

How could this movie be made any better? Well, it’s dedicated to Joe D’Amato and trust me, I think the man of many names would approve of the sheer lunacy and exploitation madness that this movie contains.

Just a warning: nearly every scene in this movie is filled with sex, violence or sex being interrupted with violence. It’s a vile, disgusting movie with a helium-voiced flying demon baby, and you’re not going to find anything else like it anywhere.

Directed by Victoria Duley and written by Adam Meyer, this Tubi Original tells the story of Freddie Prinze. If you were alive in the 1970s, you saw his rise and fall. Today, he may only be known for being the father of Freddie Prinze Jr. This doc gives you the chance to learn just what he meant to the Latin community and how he made such a major career in such a short time.

As someone who deals with anxiety and puts everything into his work, I was really touched by the fact that Freddie did the same and didn’t have the tools or the help to fix his issues. I wish that more people remembered him and what his career meant. Hopefully, you’ll watch this documentary and learn more about him and take the time to watch some of his comedy routines and maybe an episode of Chico and the Man.

I really enjoyed seeing the pop culture of the 70s in this as well as the meaning of getting to do stand up on Carson. It’s another cultural moment that is lost and I worry will be forgotten. Also: If you feel the same kinds of pressure that Freddie did or any mental issues, get help. You’re worth it.

This Tubi true crime documentary is about a murder in Kenosha, Wisconsin, when Zachariah Anderson killed the current boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend, Rosalio Gutierrez Jr. She had reported to the police that she had not seen him in several days and when she went to his apartment, she could see blood and signs of a fight. Blood samples were taken by the cops and they determined that Rosalio was dead.

He had not been seen for some time and had not seen his two children, who visited every weekend. Anderson was found to have a burn pit that had remnants of clothing that matched the victim. He also showed up on video shopping at Walmart and buying garbage bags, gloves and Clorox wipes.

From the start of the crime — and the stalking — all the way through the court case, this Tubi documentary has you covered. The body has never been found but this story will tell you what happened next.

A Cleveland woman named Uloma Curry-Walker may have hired people to kill her firefighter husband William just to get the insurance money. She was in debt when she asked her teenage daughter and the girl’s boyfriend to find someone to kill the heroic man.

She then gave the boyfriend, Chad Padgett a $1,000 down payment and he hired Chris Hein, who didn’t get the job done, and then a man named Ryan Dorty to kill William.

The problem? Walker’s ex-wife was still the person who got the insurance, not his new wife.

Director Victoria Duley and writer Ben Greguoli have put together a Tubi documentary that will tell you the story including video and reenactment to make it feel like you get it all. You may have seen this on other true crime shows — I’ve lost track of murders now — but it’s still pretty well done.

I’ve been watching all of these Tubi documentaries because I have the goal of watching every Tubi Original.

As such, I know nothing about Miley Cyrus other than she was Hannah Montana and that Dolly Parton is her godmother.

I also dislike everyone from TMZ, so seeing that the description for this is “Harvey Levin and his team of TMZ experts discuss Miley Cyrus’ meteoric rise to fame and debate her biggest scandals and successes” well, I was planing on not liking this. 

Other than the seemingly fake fighting between TMZ writers, it wasn’t that bad. I agreed with most of the people on the show that Miley may have had some bad press early but she’s the kind of talent that will be around for a long time.

I really appreciated her charity work and for something I was not looking forward to watching, I ended up walking away from this feeling really good about what I sat through.

I promise — weirder movies are coming back to the site. Allow me my Tubi obsession.

John Dhannay (Tony Musante) is trying to manage a coup in an African country for the CIA when one of his men, Douglas Grayson (John Steiner) kidnaps two actors — Jack (Gianrico Tondinelli) and Aliki De Mauro (Claudia Cardinale) — and puts John’s ability to lead in question.

Directed by Damiano Damiani, who co-wrote the script with Nicola Badalucco which was based on The Grosvenor Square Goodbye by Francis Clifford, this is a tense thriller that puts nearly everyone into the line of fire, including an ambassador played by John Forsythe.

While most of the movie takes place in a small hotel room, it stays packed with tension throughout. What helps is the score by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis or as I call them Oliver Onions. You may not end up liking John at all by the end, but you will realize that he gets the dirty work done.

A mix between political thriller and poliziotteschi, this kept me watching intently.

The Radiance Films release of this movie has a new 2023 restoration of the film from the original camera negative presented with Italian and, for the first time on home video, English audio options. It has audio commentary by Nathaniel Thompson and Troy Howarth, interviews with editor Antonio Siciliano and actor Wolfango Soldati, a reversible sleeve featuring designs based on original posters, a limited edition booklet featuring new writing by Italian crime cinema expert Lucia Rinaldi and the Radiance Films packaging that looks so great in your collection. You can get this from MVD.

My brother and I don’t have a lot in common. He loves basketball and I’ve never watched it. However, I did watch this Tubi Original and I was pretty amazed by the story in it. I never realize that Kobe Bryant’s father played, that he grew up in Italy or that he had a lifelong friendship with WNBA player Tamika Jennings, that he supported women in basketball so much or that he was so devoted of a father.

Directed by Victoria Duley and Sia Savvy, this Tubi documentary would probably be elementary for someone who knew basketball better than I do, but it held me for an hour and a half and it took me through the entire story of Kobe’s life — the good and bad — and I grew to admire what he did in his life, even when he failed.
