It feels like a mishmash of 1970s television tropes but Reb Brown physically looks the part and has charm in spades that makes up for the deviations from the origin and a story that drags heavily despite being just over an hour and a half.

Another well done documentary from Laurent Bouzereau, this time covering both Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford with new and classic interviews timed to coincide with the fifth movie in the franchise.

John Carpenter has made better films, even better films with Kurt Russell but Big Trouble in Little China remains my absolute favorite and not just in a guilty pleasure way, it’s a perfect B-Movie by design.

Fletch Lives remains the imperfect sequel to my ultimate comfort film that continues to become more enjoyable with each successive rewatch.

My ultimate comfort film that never fails to bring a smile to my face, Fletch is filled with funny characters, memorable quotes and a lot of charm that the book lacks.

Well, that could have gone better.

I’m fatter, with higher blood pressure and I have to crap in a box and send it off through UPS.

Good times. Don’t get old kids.

This is the last of the series that I remember having read but I didn’t remember much and like the previous installments, it was pure fun, especially getting Chester’s version of Bunnicula’s origin.

What an absolute fever dream of a dark comedy with the craziest sets and wackiest characters but I was never bored and I never knew where it was going.

Often loud and utterly ridiculous as it speeds breathlessly from the opening minutes to the end but a lot of fun as it hit me right in the nostalgia to make me feel like I was in my grandparent's basement with all my cousins on a Tuesday night in the 1980s.
