That concludes things with Round 9. Although I’m sad to see it go, we must bid farewell to Inside Out as Mad Max: Fury Road advances to the semifinals. Next up, it’s Creed vs. It Follows. Should be interesting. Need a recap on either film? Follow the links to read our reviews, but don’t forget…
That concludes Round 6. While it does please me to report that It Follows won, I am equally grieved to report that Furious 7 lost. That was an unfortunate pairing. I feel like this is a good time to listen to “See You Again.” Moving on, we’ve got the unexpectedly good Ant-Man vs. the expectedly…
Wow, I’ve never seen such a likable movie so mercilessly slaughtered, but, unsurprisingly, we must bid farewell to Brooklyn.

Baddie: Mommy issues. Lesson: Carry mace. It’s always interesting to discover little tidbits about some of the actors in Hollywood. For example, Elijah Wood loves horror movies so much he made his own production company, SpectreVision (formally The Woodshed). We know them best at Rooster Illusion for A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, the kickoff post for…
Baddie: Meddling non-mutants, I guess? Lesson: Turn off the light! I first saw a trailer for Digging Up The Marrow when I saw It Follows. I was immediately intrigued. Posed as a mockumentary of sorts, Digging follows director Adam Green into an adventure best described as ‘monsters are real oh god.’ The movie opens with a series of interviews featuring…
