Monster of the Day

So I wasn't expected to speed run through B-Fest 2025, but hey, few monsters. So on to Basement Fest 2025. Joe Bannerman, erstwhile B-Master and proprietor of Opposable Thumbs Films, hates us all deeply. Since we won't let him show Things ever year (and he would), he picked Devil Story, a movie Chad R…

The third film was my favorite this year, Shack Out on 101. It's set in a seedy diner and is a '50s anti-Commie espionage film. I've heard about this for years, and actually bought it on DVD a while ago, but hadn't gotten around to watching it. It is...weird. Like all of the sudden…

OK, so B-Fest 2025. We had a small group; it was me and Chad R. To my delight, though, Andrew Borntreger of Badmovies.Org, who I must not have seen for 20 years (man, I'm old), attended with his friend Todd, who was an absolutely terrific guy with a great sense of humor. So that…

"Also...hey, wait? Are you guys DEAD?! I think you are!! And I'm a doctor, so I should know!!!" Seriously, though, I love these covers.

Friday's Watch Party was 1974's The land that Time Forgot (although Amazon has it under The People that Time Forgot!), a film I saw as a ten year old at the Pickwick theater. Still love it, and it really holds up. Great Boy's Adventure film, up there with 1961's Mysterious Island. The dinosaurs are…

I'm not sure they had a clear through line for this cover. Love it, though. Watch Party tomorrow!

Man, all these "Two Guys and a Truck" knock-offs are getting out of hand. Although, let's be real, this is the one I'd hire.
