Lost and Found: Doom Asylum

First, a quick note: this review was written to evoke the delightfully lowbrow spirit of freewheeling fun from late night, cult movie show hosts (thank you, Elvira, Rhonda, and Joe Bob!) and glorious B-movie sites ( thank you, B-Movie Enema and House of Self Indulgence, to name just two!). I leaned into the over the … Continue reading Lost and Found: Doom Asylum →

Margot Monday

Monday morning check-in: yup, can confirm, still wolfish for Margot Robbie. To help satisfy our collective Monday munchies, let’s enjoy these appetizing shots of Margot as Harley Quinn, from Suicide Squad (2016).

Lost and Found: Night of the Juggler

In the 1980s and early 1990s, I was introduced to the film thanks to my beloved … Continue reading Lost and Found: Night of the Juggler →
