New on Amazon Prime this month…

Ok, so we're a bit hacked off at Amazon for cancelling Watch Parties (although we found an alternative that works fine). Even so, you want to promote them when they do good things. This month, Amazon has very heavily gone into old movies. Lots of Hitchcock, lots of Bogart, some Rita Hayworth, some Rock…

Monster of the Day #3506

Happy Friday! Watch something stupid this weekend. I'll try to cover you if you join the Kast.gg Watch Party tonight. Past that, how about also watching a classic this weekend?

Monster of the Day #3505

So Chad had a copy of a fun romantic / comic / murder mystery called Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe. I think I might have read the novel when I was a teen. The lead couple is lovably obnoxious fast food magnate George Segal (who pulls off that tightrope really well)…

Monster of the Day #3504

The greatest giant spider in movie history. So here's my recent Robot Holocaust story. I have my packages shipped to my friends Holly & Paul's house (where we hold Basement Fest) because they are there all day to collect them so they don't get stolen or rained / snowed on. So pre-Basement Fest I…

This Month on Fathom….

By the way, I've seen the original Alien playing for a day in several theaters in the area. So if that interests you you might want to check the upcoming schedules for your local cinemas. May offerings via Fathom Events, playing at local theaters countrywide, include Hitchcock's wonderful North by Northwest with Cary Grant.…

Watch Party this Friday…

I'm sure everyone is aware now, but Amazon dropped Watch Parties so we're using Kast.gg. If anyone has any questions email me at ken@jabootu.com. Anyway, next one is this Friday.

Monster of the Day #3503

"MOOOONNN-TAGGGG!" So I stayed all through Tuesday, the day I usually fly back. Chad R hung around, and Sandy's friend Mike spent much of the day with us too. Sandy wanted to show Mike Wizard of Gore, because of course he did. It's certainly weird for a HG Lewis gore flick. And although I'm…

Monster of the Day #3502

So we ended Monday watching the original Danish cut of Reptilicus. This infamously features the flying Reptilicus, which the American distributors thought looked so silly they cut the footage. Which is saying something, since they actually inserted the hilarious, infamous Terry Gillium-in-Grade-School-esque animation of a farmer being eaten. Meanwhile, anyone who's seen the movie…

Monster of the Day #3501

"I swear, if one more guy asks if I'm friggin' Zontar...." After Monster on the Campus we watched the rather grisly pre-code horror film Murders in the Zoo. This features Lionel Atwill as a murderously jealous big game hunter. The film opens with a guy whose lips have been graphically sewn together, which must…

Monster of the Day #3500

Yeti was our first and last monster movie on Sunday. The rest of the day we watched Sexton Blake and the Hooded Terror (Tod Slaughter's last film and a bit of a departure--it wasn't adapted from a stage play and he assayed a hooded supervillain type), which was quite fun. Then it was These…
