Streaming: Willy’s WonderlandNicolas Cage stars as ‘The Janitor’, a man of few words (very few words) who finds himself tasked with cleaning up the titular ‘Willy’s Wonderland’ (an abandoned funhouse) in order to pay off his repair bill to a local garage after his car ran over some spikes left on the road by the towns […]

DVD & Blu-ray: Land of the Dead (2005)George Romero’s original ‘Dead Trilogy’, consisting of Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (make sure to hear my interview shows with Scott Reiniger and John Harrison for some inside stories about it) and Day of the Dead (myself & Tina chatted with Lori Cardille too,) […]
