Fun fact: All special effect were achieved IN camera. No CGI, no rotoscoping, no tweaking anything. Everything was accomplished 100% on set and with ONLY practical effects and camera tricks.

No major changes to the Brackets this time, but we've been working on clarifying some of the ~*vibes~* around each Bracket, including adding "safe turns" and delineating expectations for decks, win conditions, and gameplay.

We've also removed tutor restriction from 1 & 2.

Day 21 is another classic from the 80s, with arguably of the best soundtracks of the era. Just a small part that makes this movie such a cult-classic.

Tonight's feature: The Lost Boys

Day 20 is an absolute classic. I, like many children of the 80s, watched it way too young to be prepared for it. Needless to say I've been hooked on it since.

Tonight's feature: John Carpenter's the Thing

One of the largest airlift evacuations in Alaska history last week. Survivors may not be able to return home for 18 months — at least two coastal communities have been completely washed away by floodwaters from ex-Typhoon Halong.

Day 11, I went nuts for this franchise's original entry, both as just a great horror movie, and what it did for the independent film maker scene.

Peacemaker Season 2 Hot Take: so Spoilers if you haven't caught up!

The revelation of Eagley as the Primal Eagle suggests that like other magical/mystic powered Metas; Wonder Women, Shazam or Black Adam, etc. Eagley could potentially down a Kryptonian.

Also, while I love this movie because I grew up watching it; there is a pretty disturbing scene in which a snake was killed on camera. I always skip it nowadays but word of warning to any new watchers out there.
