It’s that time of year again! Happy #Junesploitation to all! Today’s pick, first time watch. Prepare to be Palanced, Italian style
BLACK PHONE 2 is like if a youth pastor made an Elm Street movie. Maybe the Scott Derricksonest Scott Derrickson movie. I kinda loved it.

Push back against all the darkness today. Check out this thread. Support human art. Thanks.
Hi. I'm moving my newsletters from Substack to Ghost right now, and it's not cheap. I'm offering a few Lifetime Subscription packages right now, before the move, and these may seem pricey, but the ultimate savings to you are going to be profound.

This is approximately fifteen bajillion percent worth it. If you can do this, you will absolutely not regret it. A true movie nerd paradise awaits you.
I am going to sell a handful of Lifetime Subscriptions again. They're not cheap, but they're going to be an absolute steal once you see the new site. In the long run, you'll basically be stealing my newsletters from me. And there are bonuses. Cool bonuses. Seeeeeecret bonuses.

These are really fun books, y’all. Also, he wrote the novelization of Macon Blair’s TOXIC AVENGER so you know you’re in good, if goopy, hands.
Harper never tells me anything, but all 3 CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD books are currently $2.99 on kindle?
That's ~7 years of my life for less than 10 bucks. Pretty good deal!

A friend was amused I compared PSYCHO II to THE LEGO MOVIE as “films that thread an impossible needle so well that they can almost be considered dangerous because they reasonably shouldn’t exist.”

Shout out to the lady 4 seats away from me at SIGN O THE TIMES scrolling Instagram at full brightness through 3/4 of the movie. May Prince haunt you and make all of your clothes shrink to his size.

I love this right now. It’s almost like the Ewoks partying at the village at the end of Return of the Jedi.

Old Flavor Flav > Old Snoop. For sure.
This is a strong essay from Flavor Flav, a man who has changed his own perspective on guns. May his own change of heart & perspective serve as a guidepost for others.

Shoulda had as many sequels as SHAFT. Also, if you only know Nichelle Nichols from Star Trek, prepare to have your skull kicked right off your face.

I can think of no greater incentive to assault ICE agents than the slim chance that it might be Dean Cain.

Been thinking a lot about how Superman calls his pal "Gary" when Gary asks him to. No interrogations, no deliberation, if his friend decides he would like to be referred to by a different name then he's down with that. It's literally the least he can do & it's a superpower we share with him. Decency

Very very worth it, folks! Also this is how I learned I need to buy a new edition of FADE TO BLACK, a movie I love that now has commentary by Drew
Day two of this subscription drive. Read this whole thread. Some new subscribers are winning some 4K discs this weekend, plus they're going to, you know, have a ton of good stuff to read!
I'm going to be running a subscription drive this weekend. I need to sell a certain number of annual subscriptions, which are a discount off the month-to-month cost. It's urgent, and I'm going to throw in some random incentives.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Love this!
So I made a list of everything I've watched in my 11 years taking part in #Junesploitation, and the most watched actors and directors are... well, they're exactly who they should be. Especially happy with the top 3 actors.

Miss him! Character actors have the best faces
The second that Brion James showed up in D.O.A. (1988) I let out a little fist pump.

So…maybe not a good movie but also the best movie ever made? I’m sold.
Not a good movie but it does have a number where Tom Cruise sings into Malin Ackerman's butt like it's a microphone so it's not all bad.

Very excited as Scott Frank has just confirmed that he’s making Dashiell Hammett’s Red Harvest for Netflix.

This is perfection
Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to…
A: find your mom’s Facebook
B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were
C: badly photoshop that into a locket
D: convince you I’m your daughter.
Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

The make up artists did a fantastic job on the outlandish Dick Tracy villains.
