While Heavy Metal may not exactly be the first movie that comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving, it will always hold a special place in my heart around that time of year because of what happened the Thanksgiving of 2017.
You see, usually my family and I have Thanksgiving dinner with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. It’s a cherished tradition that goes back years, something we used to do when my grandma and grandpa on that side of the family were still with us and something we still do to honor their memory and be thankful for each other’s company.
Before Covid, we gathered every Thanksgiving for this tradition… until 2017 rolled around. On that year’s Thanksgiving, my mom unfortunately woke up with a feverish cold that only got worse as the day went on. To ensure that she could rest and feel better as soon as...

If Ridley Scott stopped making movies immediately after Alien in 1979, he’d likely still be remembered as one of the great horror directors of all time. But I’m damn glad he didn’t stop there, because six years later he released a film that would forever shape my taste as a movie fan. And while his twisted fairytale Legend isn’t strictly horror, it has more than enough gorgeously spooky elements to enthrall any horror fan. Anytime it popped up on television I remember dropping everything and planting myself in front of the screen, ready to be enraptured by a world of fairies, goblins, and one of the most terrifying (yet captivating) villains ever put to screen.
Now, the seed for Legend actually predates Alien, as Scott first conceived the idea while he was filming The Duelists. The story took shape over the course of several years, with Scott...

Several atom-fear exposés bravely ‘told the truth’ about the madness of the nuclear standoff. They didn’t get more liberal-precious than this uncompromising, difficult-to-watch ordeal based on a true incident. When an Imminent Attack alarm sends a tiny elementary school into a panic, Frank and Eleanor Perry pull no punches, finding the worst possible outcome to twist one’s insides in helpless frustration. The notorious yet little-seen show stars stage actors then unfamiliar, a couple of whom would soon become much bigger names. For us Children of the Bomb it’s the traumatic connection between Duck and Cover and Miracle Mile — or “Romper Room of Fear.” Richard Harland Smith’s commentary gives this release the context it needs, answering most of the questions that have hovered over it for 57 years.

Two classic animated movies – Jungle Burger (aka Shame of the Jungle) and The Big Bang - from the team of cartoonist/director Picha and producer Boris Szulzinger finally make their UK DVD debuts from Lace DVD later this month. It’s been years since I last saw Jungle Burger (I remember seeing some of it as a kid, shock horror!) and I’ve never seen The Big Bang so it was with an eager anticipation – based on their infamous reputations – that I sat down to watch the pair…
Jungle Burger (1975)
Stars (the voices of): John Belushi, Bill Murray, Johnny Weismuller Jr., Christopher Guest | Written by Pierre Bartier, Anne Beatts (Us version) | Directed by Picha, Boris Szulzinger
Shame, the ape man of the jungle, is aghast when his woman, June, is kidnapped by a gang of giant penises. They take her to their queen, Bazunga, a bald woman with fourteen breasts.
