A Windigo Tale (2010)
I like movie monsters. Give me some nasty motherfucker with too many teeth and eyes that pierce into your soul and I’m a happy individual. One of my favorite monsters is the wendigo, an Ojibway evil spirit that pop culture has taken and claimed as it’s own (seriously, they even show up in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic). But none of that really matters, because there is no wendigo in A Windigo Tale. There is a horrible monster that devoured the young members of their tribe, but it’s more… metaphorical.

The New Mutants (2020)
Full disclosure, I was one of those people who believed that this movie was never going to be released. Originally slated to be released in April 2018, it was delayed four or five times because of things like the Fox/Disney merger and reshoots to change the entire tone. Like you do. In the end it released to an extremely limited theater run in August 2020, and was made widely available for [legal] streaming yesterday. As the last 20th Century Studios X-Men adjacent film–ending a 20 year franchise–was it worth the wait? Well…

The Gay Deceivers (1969)
A game I like to play with my friends is “Actually, You Do Know What This Is.” It’s where I show someone a the full context of a meme’s origin. For example, odds are you don’t know Sunstroke Project or Sergey Stepanov by name, but he’s the internet’s favorite Epic Sax Guy (the song is called “Run Away,” by the way, and it slaps). The reason I bring this up is because The Gay Deceivers is a completely forgettable movie except for the only decent actor giving an amazing line: “I may not know my flowers, but I know a…

Stranger by the Lake (2013)
Social distancing has kept my friends at arm’s length (and you should be social distancing as well so we can be done with this virus bullshit AND ACTUALLY SEE OUR FRIENDS AGAIN!), but through the power of the internet I’ve been able to watch some movies with the gang. One of such movie was L’Inconnu du lac, AKA Stranger by the Lake, a French film about murder and gay guys fucking. The film has received a bunch of praise, but we thought it was… interesting. Our protagonist is Franck, a guy who frequents a beach that’s mainly a gay hookup…

Big Man on Campus (1989)
There are two wolves inside of me: The first wolf tells me that if I were to talk about more mainstream and/or recognizable movies, viewer count and interest in in this blog would improve. The other wolf says, “Hey, wasn’t it weird that the female lead in Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror was in basically nothing? Well turns out her film debut was in a thing called Big Man on Campus where a hunchback goes to college. That sounds weird!” I think by this point we know which wolf I feed, even to my detriment.
