It’s Easter, which means the last waning days of the year in which we’re able to stuff our faces with Creme Eggs! The egg-shaped chocolate and fondant confections were invented in 1971 by Cadbury, 200 million of them are sold … Continue reading The Creme Egg Night Thread (April 4, 2021)
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the GIFs began to take hold. I remember saying something like: Post a Safe For Work (or hidden behind spoilers) GIF Identify the source ??? Profit! This is … Continue reading Identify This GIF!
The Louvre museum has uploaded its entire collection online! It would take a very long time to fully enjoy the 480,000 works of art in their collection, but why not take a moment away from doomscrolling Twitter and take a … Continue reading The Tête de bouledogue Day Thread (April 2, 2021)
What starts as professional courtesy soon turns into infatuation, all thanks to someone reading a diary. But who will end up inheriting the late dowager’s fortune? Come talk about Godzilla vs Kong! Continue reading Spoiler Space: Godzilla vs Kong
Yeah, yeah, everyone’s “Godzilla” this and “King Kong” that, but today’s thread is dedicated to the flappy-eared, pointy-nosed kaiju adversary of Frankenstein’s monster in the appropriately-entitled 1965 film Frankenstein vs Baragon, (aka Frankenstein Conquers the World). Frankenstein’s monster in this … Continue reading The Frankenstein vs Baragon Day Thread (March 31, 2021)
Is Duck Soup your favourite Marx Brothers film, and if not, why not? Ah go on, it is and you know it! The foil to Groucho’s Rufus T.

On this day in 1984, Shermer High School hosted all-day detention for five students: the Brain, the Athlete, the Basket Case, the Princess and the Criminal.

As the Northern Hemisphere turns to face Spring, our thoughts drift towards flowers, open-toed sandals, picnics in the park, and when Limp Bizkit’s album ‘Stampede of the Disco Elephants’ will be released, if ever. Their website still claims 2015, which … Continue reading Stampede of the Disco Elephants Night Thread (March 23, 2021)
Appropriately enough for this series, I was late to discover Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead, though not by much. I think it was issue four or five that I idly picked up during my weekly jaunt to my local comic … Continue reading Late to the Party: The Walking Dead

Katie is faking it, but that’s hardly a spoiler. In another film that might be the central twist, but it’s printed in bold type right the on the website for White Lie. That title tells the audience precisely what to … Continue reading Film Review: White Lie
“Ika, Ika, Ika!” Minoru Kawasaki’s 2004 film The Calamari Wrestler (Ika Resuraa) is a charmingly silly creature. It’s a sporting drama, a love story, and a monster movie all mished together into one; an utterly bizarre premise played completely straight. … Continue reading The Calamari Wrestler Day Thread (March 18, 2021)
‘The Clopening’ would certainly be an excellent title for a horror film. The word will probably instil fear, or at least loathing, in anyone who has toiled in the mines of zero-hour contract customer service jobs. My own experiences of … Continue reading The Clopening Night Thread (March 17, 2021)
Like a lot of bands I love, I discovered the New Mastersounds on a whim, picking up their debut record because I like the design of the cover. Ah, the glory days of simply browsing through jungles of music stores … Continue reading The New Mastersounds Night Thread (March 14, 2021)

Steven Kostanski’s Psycho Goreman is my favourite film of the year so far. It’s hilarious, horrific, and wonderfully inventive when it comes to practical special effects which hark back to the spirit of 80’s schlock movies. There’s also a wonderful … Continue reading The Psycho Goreman Night Thread (March 9, 2021)

I was too young to know what a sex-symbol was when Pamela Anderson was at the height of her fame for being possibly the most famous sex-symbol of the 90s, and so her crowning cinematic moment, 1996’s Barb Wire, passed … Continue reading The Big Fatso Day Thread (March 5, 2021)
