Dual
Poor Sarah has big problems: her mother is persistently annoying, her boyfriend is giving off signals that their relationship is ending and she just doesn’t have any serious friends. Then it gets worse. After coughing up blood for a while, … Continue reading
RIP Carl Weathers
What a pisser! Right before Black History Month and more episodes of The Mandalorian! Carl was a great presence on Twitter too. He didn’t shit talk, always pushed for peace and understanding. I read other obits about him and didn’t know … Continue reading

Poor Things: Must See
I had no idea this was Oscar® bait. I chose to watch it because the same guy who directed The Favourite is behind the movie plus I have to admit I like the primary cast. I think the trailer gave … Continue reading
RIP Keith Giffen & Gary Graham
The first obit I felt like a complete moron about! I missed all the tributes on Twitter for the passing of Keith Giffen last October! He was one of the funniest writers in the Eighties as he revamped Justice League into … Continue reading

Repo Man
First up for my favorite and a movie that influenced me from 1984…the cult fave and cable staple Repo Man! It was produced by Mike Nesmith with unknown Emilio Estevez in the lead alongside Harry Dean Stanton and Tracy Walter. Beyond … Continue reading

Ferrari: Must See
Several years ago, there was the hit movie Ford v. Ferrari, I liked it but I was still cheering for Ferrari because Ford has always (and still does) made shit cars with the horrible DNA of its founder in them. Henry … Continue reading
RIP Cindy Morgan
Cindy had the dual role for Gen X nerds! Firstly, she was cast as the slut character in the forever funny Caddyshack. Being that it was released in the early Eighties, that means we got to see her in the “all together” … Continue reading
Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies
An upside to the Internet’s obsession with porn! It made a serious movie like Skin possible and not a magnet for teen boys, 14-year-old me going, YESSSS! This is a documentary and it’s very academic about the topic. There’s still … Continue reading
John Dies at the End
Hulu thankfully gave me a second chance to watch this incredibly well-done Horror movie written by a former Cracked writer. I knew it was going to be good because Paul Giamatti was an executive producer and probably through him the director … Continue reading
Bewitched
This was possibly Nora Ephron’s worst movie after My Blue Heaven, the comical take on what Henry Hill’s life was possibly like after Goodfellas. It never should’ve been made for it is a complete waste of Michael Caine, David Alan Grier, Amy … Continue reading
The Marvels: Must See*
*-Screw you shit talkers about MCU. If there’s anything out there that needs to be put out of its misery, it’s SNL. Funny there’s no fatigue for a painfully, not funny TV show or how certain, overrated directors just make the … Continue reading
1983: The Day After airs on ABC
Remember how I mentioned my ongoing nightmare of dying in a nuclear conflict because St. Reagan had an itchy trigger finger? The Day After didn’t help and was my continuous fear’s source until college. Before ABC became a monopoly hotel … Continue reading

Rent A Pal
This was a really enjoyable Indie from the IFC Horror people since it paints Wil Wheaton as the villain but if you watch it all the way through, you’ll see it’s debatable. The plot involves David, a 40-year-old man who … Continue reading
Welcome to November 2023!
I was really excited about this month’s Header because it’s the 60th anniversary of Josie and the Pussycats debuting as a comic book; ok, it was just called Josie and it was a lazy female version of Archie. The Pussycats shift … Continue reading

Day of the Dead
This was George Romero’s lesser known third installment of his Dead movies in which the social commentary isn’t as obvious; Night was racism, Dawn was consumerism and Day I think it’s how much we shouldn’t trust the military? You can tell it was an indie … Continue reading
