‘Lolly-Madonna XXX’ (1973): Atmospheric, violent & senseless Southern cult classic

Strange, hypnotic doom and gloom Southern cult classic, a modern-day Hatfield and McCoy feud underpinned by a violent, fatalistic melancholy.

Today's arrival from @shoutfactory: the 1978 TV film, DR. STRANGE.

Fun in the sun with MAGNUM PI: THE COMPLETE SERIES on Blu-ray! Happy to see @millcreekent keeping the physical media flame burning for vintage TV. Link to unboxing in bio.

A little unboxing of a sealed 1983 Galaxian cartridge for the Atari 2600. I purchased it 15-20 years ago on Ebay. Link to video in description.

Took in a little artificial revenge with STEEL AND LACE (1991), video store-era fun released on Blu-ray by @vinegarsyndrome.

I legit chuckled my way thru 1989's THE LAUGHING DEAD - as it should be! Another nice Blu-ray restoration from @vinegarsyndrome. I talk about it in my video (link in bio).

A lil Chuck Norris in my most recent video (link in bio). BREAKER! BREAKER! (1977) is a fun ride through the rural, truck-drivin', CB-talkin' late 70s!

Watched THE SLAYER (1982) & enjoyed the ambiguous ghost story vibes mixed w/slashery feels. Released by @arrowvideo. Link in bio to my video review.

Had fun with the @arrowvideo Shocktober sale this year, & picked up more Blu-rays than anticipated. But I filled in a lot of missing gaps! Video link to the unboxing in description.

A look at the @remindmagazine special holiday issue - all about John Carpenter's original Halloween (1978)! Watch the video by clicking the link in my bio. (& while you're there, subscribe!)

Newest NES addition: COBRA TRIANGLE (1989) from Rare. Never played this one as a kid. From what I hear, it's not an easy one.

It's been a while. Had fun re-watching THE GOONIES for the first time in a long time. First time for me in HD after upgrading my old DVD to a Blu.

Since I never watched (& just purchased) the made-for-Sci-Fi Channel sequels, I revisited 1995's SPECIES. Fun times! Michael Madsen in top 90s tough-guy form; Marg Helgenberger scientifically testing crime scene materials 5 years before doing it on CSI; Alfred Molina a decade before he was Doc Ock; 15-year-old Michelle Williams, 3 years before Dawson's Creek; Forest Whitaker (cuz he was in EVERYthing); & Ben Kingsley as Xavier, the leader of this ragged X-Men-style group. But me & the college roomies were 19 at the time I originally saw this. Would we have been as interested if newcomer Natasha Henstridge wasn't the main attraction? 😳 One of my oldest Blu-rays, this is a 2006 pressing from Sony. Still fun to watch.
