Monster of the Day #3376

We ended on our usual kaiju film. I picked Gamera Super Monster because its so damn goofy. Pleasingly, Chad first say Gamera vs Jiger on the multi-film disc menu, and got very excited. His cries of pain upon realizing which film we were actually watching were pretty sweet. That said, as objectively awful as…

By the time The Pack ended we were heading into the home stretch. The third from last film was the Sweeny Todd-inspired The Undertaker and His Pals, presented by our co-host Paul. It’s a short little gore comedy that basically plays like a Herschell Gordon Lewis film if they were more successfully darkly humorous.…

One thing about having a group of, shall we say, knowable B-movie experts making the selections is that we end up with a very please mix of eras and genres. Not everyone is defaulting to ‘50s sci fi or ‘80s action flicks. Everyone was meant to have a pick (I had two; I picked…

Following the debacle of Things (which I’ve always argued should be called “Stuff,” since its one of those plotless, one damn thing after another pictures), things got better. Of course, they pretty much had to. So I’ll amend that statement. Things got significantly better. That’s because GalaxyJane choose a Pam Grier movie, Friday Foster.…

So after Kraa we completely switched gears. Chad R showed Murder He Says, a 1945 murder comedy starring Fred MacMurray that's probably the best thing you're going to find as a cofeature for Arsenic and Old Lace. Ma Kettle also stars in it. Although MacMurray later was know for playing ditherers (Absent Minded Professor)…

Well, we never did explicate what our little group watched at Basement Fest '23. The first Basement Fest was held because they had cancelled B-Fest because of Covid. However, a goodly portion of the regular B-Fest people decided they liked this one better--we pick the movies, my friends Paul and Holly have a swank…

We watched a Gamera movie several months ago at a Watch Party. However, I barely got Howling II in after it had been on my list for a long time, because it turned out it was less than two weeks from leaving Amazon. I would have felt like a prat if we had had…

[Warning: Anime] No Bofuri this week

For those watching Bofuri, we are getting another one week delay. Obnoxious, but better to do the show right than to force it. And hey, if it hadn't been for the first two-week delay, we'd have already finished the season, instead of having two episodes left. The final two episodes will air (first) a…

Watch Party in a few hours…weather permitting….

Hey, everyone. We got storms tonight, with occasionally heavy rains and hail. So...if I don't send out the invitation in about an hour and a half, it'll be because my power went out. Not that I expect huge lamentations if one of these doesn't come off, but hey, forewarned is forearmed.
