Continue ReadingTUNER is the kind of finely-tuned genre thriller they just don’t make anymore. It’s got an Oscar winner, Dustin Hoffman, having a blast in a warm supporting role, a nail-biting premise, and a helluva breakout from Leo Woodall. The film never reaches for greatness. It’s a paint-by-numbers indie, and it knows it. But it lives in its world so completely that you forgive every predictable turn. I caught TUNER in a nearly empty Santa Barbara theater on a work night…

Continue ReadingGuest host Preston Fassel (accomplished horror journalist and celebrated author) joins to discuss Rob Zombie's controversial 2003 grindhouse-inspired 1970's fever dream, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES. We also discuss Preston's time working with Rue Morgue, Fangoria, and Dread Central, and his novels, which include "Our Lady of the Inferno" and "Beasts of 42nd St." It's a HELLbilly Halloween hootenanny – let's go RICK OR TREATING!…
Continue ReadingASTRO BOT reminded me that video games can be magical. Everything about this game is delightful. Even when it’s punishing you with a challenging platforming level, you can’t help but smile, as it’s never the game’s fault that you died. It’s always a user error, but it’s a mistake you can learn and optimize for your next life. For this review, I could discuss the various gameplay mechanics, as people have seen in all the other reviews: the epic boss…

Continue ReadingPIZZA TOWER “towers” above the other independent video game platformers by baking what should be a standard pizza into something with new and original ingredients. Platforming games are my favorite. When the kids finally sleep, I long to play minimal story games that create a fascinating world and can be completed in a few hours. PIZZA TOWER owes its style to classic Nickelodeon cartoons like SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS. However, it should have to pay royalties to Nintendo for using Wario’s likeliness…
Continue ReadingAn attempt to dissect the PROFOUNDLY disappointing cinematic lunar cycle that was June 2023. A month that really exposed the disconnect between studios and audiences...and a month that may have contributed to the success of Barbenheimer…

Continue ReadingPRIMAL caught me off guard. I expected a wild, bloody, adults-only action-fest, but what I got was something way deeper. I found myself deeply attached to a T. rex named Fang and a caveman named Spear. Don’t get me wrong, the show absolutely delivers on the blood and guts. And those action scenes are as creative as anything I’ve seen,…
