Image
In this video, Heath and Bree have a candid, honest, and open conversation about the current Disney product, as represented by the 2018 film Mary Poppins Returns.

Spider Baby and Pit Stop: Jack Hill Double Feature

Image
Jack Hill is loved by exploitation fans for directing such movies as Coffy, Foxy Brown, and Switchblade Sisters. But in the 1960s, Hill made some of the craziest, most poignant films of his entire career. In this video, we take a look at two of those films from his 1960s output: Spider Baby and Pit Stop, both of which are highly-influential among directors like Quentin Tarantino and Rob Zombie, and both of which has achieved true cult status over the years. Buckle up, because this hot rod is driving straight into the maddest story ever told!

Review: Screams of a Winter Night (1979)

Image
1979's  Screams of a Winter Night is now on Blu-ray courtesy of Code Red and offers an opportunity to see not only the original theatrical version that played in drive-in-cinemas and theaters almost forty years ago, but also to see a newly-restored, longer cut of the film that was believed to have been lost. The never-before-seen version of the movie runs nearly two hours (not 124 minutes, as the package proclaims) and adds over a half-hour back to the film's running time. Depending on your tolerance for low-budget seventies horror, this is either a good thing or a bad thing.
