Second Breakfast Finally Puts That Education to Good Use

Happy Easter, y’all! Reckon it might be suitable to do something thematically relevant to this special occasion…ah…here’s the thing, though: I tend to find filmic representations of the Crucifixion a little, how should I say this? Tasteless? Yeah. Tasteless. Personal opinion. Don’t worry, all of you who are for some reason worrying, for while it…

Strange Bacon Stephen King Marathon Part IX: Cujo

After watching a recorded Stephen King University talk in Massachusetts, the book Cujo was mentioned and I felt inclined to give the short 1983 film adaptation a look.

SciFridays: “100 Million BC” (2008)

Baddie – Asylum Films. Lesson – If you want to watch something about time travel and dinosaurs, watch Primeval. If you read SciFridays with any kind of regularity, you’re familiar with Asylum films.
