Monster of the Day #3378

Wait! What? What's happening here? Is that girl swinging on the bell for fun, being playfully pushed by her giant best friend? I mean...oh. Wait, there's a dialogue balloon. So...ah. I was way off. Good thing they wrote all that. Thank you, cover editor!   Having trouble with the thumbnail for some reason, so…

Monster of the Day #3377

  I asked GalaxyJane what it was like sometimes being the only woman at T-Fest. She showed me this. I can't argue; I've been getting that look from women all my life. It's sweet she thinks Jamie has that much hair, though. He actually wouldn't need the gun--nor would she--but hey, when in Texas....

Say what you will about France, but man, they sure know how to make a stylish movie poster. OK, that might not be the best example.

We've featured it before, but hey, maybe somebody hasn't watched it yet. If you haven't seen Sugar Hill, and you have an Amazon Prime account (or a few bucks to rent it there), check it out. I mean, it's not the greatest thing ever. But it's a very solid blaxploitation zombie movie that I…

  I learned another bitter lesson on Friday about how quickly Amazon Prime drops movies. So for anyone who hasn't seen, Prime currently features both Blacula and Scream Blacula Scream (and, I think, Sugar Hill). So go over and watch those while they are still there.

It finally came out on Blu Ray, so I ended thing with the traditional giant monster movie: Yeti Giant of the 20th Century. It's...Italian. Very, very Italian. Watch Party tonight!

  So after Them! Jeff showed Hell's Belles, a rather weird biker film (Jeff LOVES biker films) about a guy following a biker gang who's leader stole his motorcycle. It takes a while for everyone to escalate to killing, and the hero is at times a gigantic a-hole. Pretty good, and interestingly formless in…

After Kaiju Mono, Chad R showed Used Cars, which he's been holding for a while. I hadn't seen it since the night it opened in theaters back in the day. (Remember when you used to go see movies all the time? Did we change, or did the movies?) It's pretty great. If you haven't…

So finally, Basement Fest 2022, the second edition of our B-Fest replacement (probably a stand alone next year, though), began. Many of the Jabootu crew were there: our hosts Paul (who actually sprung the old Ken's World of Awful Movies site on me back in prehistoric times, and thus led directly to Jabootu) and…

Monster of the Day #3369

OK, we ran through B-Fest 2021 (attended, again, only by the Chads). Today we finish up Julie and Tim Fest. Then it's on to the second annual Basement Fest. I suspect that most of us will return to B-Fest next year, and that Basement Fest will also continue. Who knows, maybe Julie and Tim…
