Short Film Review: Intergalactic PizzaBoy (2022)
In the fantastic future year of 20XX, man has reached distant planets, and brought with them the most valuable substance in the galaxy; pizza! Enter: Intergalactic Pizza delivery dude (Edgar Nevarez), a man that delivers pies galaxy wide in his flying sensible sedan. All isn’t smooth space sailing however as soon our main man has to deal with space pirates and dissatisfied customers (Cosmic Karens?) while trying to take good care of his mental health in the process. As you can easily surmise from that sinister synopsis up yonder, Jerry S. Gonzalez’s Intergalactic PizzaBoy is a pretty batshit affair… and as you lascivious lot well and truly know, that is just the way yours cruelly digs it! Running approximately nine minutes (with credits and alien death metal song), this sci-fi short has the vibe of a cartoon that would have hit around the time of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon and Troma’s foray into children’s shows; Toxic Crusaders…

Blu-ray Review: The Return of Captain Invincible (1983)
The Return of Captain Invincible begins with World War II-era newsreel footage of the eponymous super-powered hero (Academy Award winner Alan Arkin) in outrageous action, which sets the stage perfectly for the clever superhero deconstruction that follows… Before long we see the good Captain catching static during the McCarthy witch-hunt for red sympathizers, after which he vanishes from the public eye to become a drunk nomad in the wilds of Australia. Fast forward to the early 1980’s (and cue the disco take on the Theme From Peter Gunn) and we learn after two musical numbers… one comprised strictly of the word “bullshit”, and the other a jaunty gospel number which comes complete with it’s own band (which is odd since the scene in question takes place in a top-secret government war room) that a powerful hypno-ray has turned up missing, and those same official officials, including the President (Michael Pate) himself (the same cat responsible for those swingin’ songs mentioned

Blu-ray Review: Monday Morning (1990)
Young musician Bobby (Noah Blake) has it tough; while being a bit on the troubled side, he’s a good enough dude… but his Dad uses him for a punching bag, and he’s no longer welcome at home. Despite that, he still shows up to school come Monday morning (arriving to some sort of hair-metal cover of The Mamas & The Papas’ Monday Monday like the black t-shirt wearin’ badass he is)… which results in the discovery that he, and his gaggle of friends (including Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare‘s Ricky Dean Logan sporting a mullet you simply have to witness to believe) being left out of some sort of upcoming bash because they haven’t lived in town long enough (this town hates everyone not from this town for reasons known only to this town… it didn’t really make sense to me either… but keep kickin’ against the pricks me lads!). Further complicating things is the fact that Bobby digs popular

4K UHD Review: God Told Me To (1976)
This is gonna be a stone-cold bitch of a review to write, cats n’ creeps. Ya see, legendary genre filmmaker Larry Cohen’s (The Stuff, Q: The Winged Serpent, the It’s Alive series) God Told Me To, while bein’ a bone-a-fide classic in my book, contains elements so batshit bizarre that I would like nothin’ better than to flap my jaundiced jaws about every last one of ‘em, but that would do any GTMT virgins in the audience a Kong-sized disservice. All right, read on to see if I can pussyfoot through a potential mine-field of spoilers and still grab your interest enough to make you buy this damn thing! God Told Me To concerns the adventures of Peter (Tony Lo Bianco), a New York City detective who is all hot ‘n’ bothered by a series of brutal shootings, all of which contain a unifying element: the perpetrators simply say that god told them to commit the murder-foolery. As a special
