Thank you!!

Poster for ‘Dazed and Confused’

I usually save this one for the last day of school but since it’s playing in the big screen I can’t pass it up. It’s also the kind of movie I get when my birthday is on 4/20. But I’m okay with it.

A crowd of people on a stairway.

Coming this week…

We wish a very happy birthday to MANOR Resident Brian Keiper @brianwaves42.bsky.social ! 🎂🥳🎉🎈

To celebrate, read Brian’s work from the past year for MANOR...

Poster for “The Big Lebowski”

A rare daddy-daughter trip to the theater today. But it’s not every day they show her favorite movie.

Holy Terrors promo featuring stills from several movies mentioned in the episode.

We head back into the booth to talk about some movies we've watched lately. As usual it's an eclectic mix including a look at the recent releases The Drama and Faces of Death. To top it all off, we're both sick as hell and hopped up on goofballs, so a good time will be had by all.

A Game of Rivals: The Conflicts That Shaped Horror Classic ‘The Black Cat’ In the 1930s, Universal laid claim to the two biggest horror stars of the era, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, and it was only a matter of time before the pair would meet on screen. In 1932, only month...

Loved the mention of Lugosi watching himself on screen in THE BLACK CAT (1934) years later, standing up in the theater and exclaiming "WHAT A HANDSOME BASTARD I WAS!"

MANOR Resident & friend Brian Keiper @brianwaves42.bsky.social wrote about it in his excellent piece for @bloody-disgusting.com

Poster and images from the film “God Told Me To”

In our latest episode, we enter the world of exploitation with Larry Cohen’s classic, "God Told Me To” and ask the question that theologians have been wrestling with for centuries: what if Jesus was an alien, man??

New episode this Friday!

Poster for ‘Smokey and the Bandit’

My son and I went into this movie weighed down by all that was going on in the world but boy did this lift us up! As we were driving home my son said “that movie heals.” That’s damn right.

Poster for “The Jerk”

It’s officially spring break and Regal has 70s and 80s comedies all week so I’ll be here every day. Today’s offering…The Jerk.

He is risen!

To celebrate listen to Brian and Pat work their magic to make Friday the 13th Part VI—Jason Lives fit into the format of the show. It actually works out pretty well.

Frankly I can’t think of a better way to spend the morning 😊

Poster for ‘The Muppet Movie’

Spending Easter morning in my favorite seat in my sanctuary watching a lovely movie about rainbows.

A Legend Worth Celebrating: The Unparalleled Legacy of Roger Corman Roger Corman has been called many things over the years—King of the B’s, The Pope of Pop Cinema, outlaw, renegade, mentor. Now, maybe all of it can be distilled into a single word: legend. In a career...

Today is Roger Corman’s 100th birthday! I wrote this a few years ago when he was still with us for @bloody-disgusting.com to celebrate this absolute legend.

Poster for Animal House

Second theatrical viewing of the day. And bonus points because it counts toward my 1978 project.

Poster for The Drama

Starting my day at the movies early and with something new. (And possibly something old, borrowed, and blue, but we’ll see).

Promo featuring stills from several movies discussed in the episode.

We return to The Confessional and talk about several movies including Slanted, The Mortuary Assistant, Demon Pond, Ready or Not 2 and They Will Kill You.

I'm back on @shelfmovie.bsky.social podcast! This go around we explore a ragtag mix of Coppola films. The episode is available now on your podcast app of choice!

Poster for ‘Blazing Saddles’

Today’s trip to the movies. The big screen feels like the only way to see this one properly, so I’m excited to finally get that chance.

Listening to a recent episode of HOLY TERRORS podcast where Brian and Pat discussed the hypothetical timeline of the Friday the 13th films, it reminded me of a hypothetical of my own. If we were to take this timeline seriously (which we shouldn’t but let’s have fun with it anyways)...

Poster for ‘The Bad News Bears’ (1976)

I have spent my day counting down the minutes to seeing Walter Matthau pour whiskey into his beer can. So excited to see my favorite sports movie on the big screen.

‘April Fool’s Day’ – The Lost Ending Survives in the ’80s Slasher Movie’s Novelization By now, the outcome of 1986’s April Fool’s Day is well known: an heiress’ guests are misled to believe their party is being picked off by a killer among them. However, had the producers not requested ...

If you can get your hands on it, Jeff Rovin's novelization of Fred Walton's APRIL FOOL'S DAY (1986) actually uses the "lost" ending of the movie. It's worth a read.

I wrote about this tie-in book, as well as the movie, a few years ago at @bloody-disgusting.com

Poster for ‘April Fool’s Day’

Now seated for the best thing to ever come out of this godforsaken calendar day. And on the big screen!
