One of my favorite scenes in Wolf (1994) is when Michelle Pfeiffer’s Laura Alden enters her would-be lover Will Randall’s (Jack Nicholson) hotel room for a sexy rendezvous, only to find Will handcuffed to the radiator. It’s a preemptive move by Will to keep himself locked away in the room on the night of a … Continue reading Michelle Monday

King of New York
If you’re reading this site semi-regularly, it should come as no surprise that I spend a lot of time thinking about the various media and pop culture of my youth. I’m feeling particularly nostalgic right now, thanks to the seasonal switch from summer to autumn, which always puts me in the mood to reflect on … Continue reading King of New York
What I’ve Been Watching: October 2024
Before starting this jam post I quick double-checked the math and, yup, it’s been about fourteen months since my one and only “What I’ve Been Watching” post. Boy howdy, where’d the time go?

Bad Girls We Love: Santánico Pandemonium in From Dusk till Dawn
With a name like Santánico Pandemonium, you know she’s gonna be too hot to handle. It’s been a hell of a day for the Gecko brothers. On the lamb from the law—thanks largely to loose cannon brother Richie—they’ve kidnapped a pastor and his two teenage children. At gunpoint they force the family to drive them … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Santánico Pandemonium in From Dusk till Dawn
Michelle Monday
In my demented mind, we’ve already been living in the spooky season forever, but for more normies, October is when their thoughts turn to thoughts of witches, goblins, full moons and whatnot. So, with October just around the corner, and because we just recently had a full harvest moon, this Monday belongs to Michelle in … Continue reading Michelle Monday
