Trash & Treasures: Tusk
This is a messy garbage movie and I’m always happy to stick my face in it. Mmmm, throwback body horror.
Vrai Watches Kill la Kill (Part 1)
People demanded it, and we’re here to deliver: four watchalong podcasts including excellent guest host Miranda Sanchez. I’m loosely familiar with KLK–I pretty much couldn’t avoid it since I was watching Samurai Flamenco that season–so I went in knowing a few spoilers beforehand, but you can still enjoy […]
The Consulting Analyst – The Vampire Lestat (Part 12)
