88 FILMS BLU RAY RELEASE: Saga of the Phoenix (1990)
Ashura (Gloria Yip), the Holy Maiden of Hell, could destroy the Earth as easily as I’ll crush my next mixed drink. To keep that from going down. Some Buddhist monks trap her in a cave. She’s placed under the watchful (and often overwhelmed) eyes of Peacock (the legendary Yuen Biao), Lucky Fruit (Hiroshi Abe) and […]
The First Family of Satanism (1990)
This historical sit-down, originally titled The First Family of Satanism, serves as a fascinating time capsule of the Satanic Panic era, capturing the sharp ideological divide between Bob Larson’s evangelical world and the Schrecks’ elitist Social Darwinist philosophy. Recorded in 1990 and later released in 2002, the program features Bob Larson, a well-known Christian […]
The Games Children Play (1990)
Written by Ralph Griffin and Peter Lalonde, this is the kind of Satanic Panic that I love. Lalonde would go on to produce and write the Left Behind and Apocalypse: Caught in the Eye of the Storm movies. This gets the most basic thing about He-Man incorrect. He-Man said. “I have the power,” not “I am the power.” […]
20 Minutes to Go (1990)
Aurora Productions, which made this, is really The Family International, an American new religious movement founded in 1968 by David Brandt Berg. They also went under the names The Children of God, Teens for Christ, The Family of Love and The Family. It’s the cult that Rose McGowan, River, and Joaquin Phoenix were born into. […]

2025 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 10: Fuga dal paradiso (1990)
10. ESTIMATION…DECIMATION: Today’s forecast is mushroom cloudy with a 100% chance of radiation. Fuga dal Paradiso has an awesome poster going for it.
