Aptly titled Alien: The Play. The show was anything but dull. Presented this past Wednesday and Friday, their play was shared by audience members revealing fantastic costumes, props, and backgrounds.

Blu-ray Review: The Greasy Strangler (2016)

Prize-winning bullshit artist, and greasy food enthusiast Big Ronnie (Michael St. Michaels) lives with his son Big Brayden (Sky Elobar) and runs a walking tour of supposed disco hot spots around town. That’s all fine and dandy, but there is also a grease covered strangler stalking the streets…which is also Ronnie. As all that greasing and killing is going on, Brayden starts a relationship with a woman named Janet ( Elizabeth De Razzo), huge quantities of grease are consumed, we meet a man that wears a paper pig nose, cocks fill the screen (prosthetic, outrageous ones at that), Ronnie washes himself in Big Paul’s (Gil Gex) car wash…I mean basically a better synopsis would be; Penis, grease, murder.

It’s crude, disgusting, annoying…so who will it appeal to? Well, me for starters, but also lovers of
