Never judge a book by its movie.
This book is currently on my “to read” pile. The plot revolves around a sole survivor of a slasher movie like massacre. She joins a group of other “final girls”, but it soon looks like the horror isn’t behind her as her friends begin to die one by one. A story like that sounds right…
If you watched the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day Marathon yesterday and stayed till the very end of it, you probably saw Joel Hodgson announce on air that MST3K was renewed for a twelfth season! This news definitely was a great way to end Thanksgiving in my house. Hopefully, the next season will premiere in…
I love Mystery Science Theater 3000, and I am glad that the Turkey Day Marathon is still a tradition that we can observe today. The best part is that anyone can watch it for FREE thanks to the fine folks at Shout! Factory and MST3K. Below are all the details and links that you’ll need…

Some of my personal favorites are the original Black Christmas, Gremlins, Santa’s…

I got to see a press screening of the Justice League movie several days before its release. I haven’t been a fan of most of the DCEU movies, but this one made me look forward to their future. From the very first opening moments, it addressed almost all the issues that I’ve had with the previous…
