The best movie culture writing from around the internet-o-sphere. There will be a quiz later. Just leave a tab open for us, will ya? “An Entirely Too Literal Examination Of the Friendship Between Bill and Ted” — Evan Saathoff at Badass Digest once again proves why he’s one of the best writers there, finding profundity in the frivolous double plus important. “This extreme unity goes even further than that. Throughout their adventures and journeys, we see multiple forms of Bill and Ted — evil robot form, good robot form and future form. All display the same level of equality. Note that when Bill and Ted meet their future selves in Excellent Adventure, they become more like quadruplets than a pair of twins. Interestingly, the series’ only actual set of twins, the extraterrestrial scientist, Station, can merge its two halves into a greater whole when necessary. Bill and Ted do not have this power.

Hosting a top-rated film review show is a great way to promote the movies we love but the pressure to pander to an audience tastes is overwhelming. Some people prefer a more professionally-scripted show while others prefer a more freewheeling laid back approach. Some people prefer we discuss only mainstream films while others are interested in independent film. Over the years it became clear I would never make everyone happy, so I just decided to do what I wanted instead.
I take film criticism seriously and while I do not consider myself a film critic (as in, this is my occupation), I do try to take our podcast seriously. But that doesn’t mean I won’t have fun with what I am doing. Lord knows we here at Sound On Sight do not get paid to produce podcasts every week. So once in a while, I, along with my...

Monster Brawl
Written and Directed by Jesse T. Cook
(2011) Canada
Fantasia imdb
It is only too appropriate that the World Premiere of Monster Brawl at Fantasia was presented by Tony Timpone, former editor of Fangoria Magazine, because if any film could be described as inspired by arguments from Fangoria it’s Monster Brawl. Or even arguments made before Fangoria even existed. The spiritual predecessor to virtually all genre publications was Forry Ackerman’s Famous Monsters of Filmland and one of the eternal arguments that raged in that publication (and its heirs) has always been: Which monster is stronger? Which monster is better? Which monster would win in a fight?
That is a question that has sold movie tickets since 1943 when Universal put out Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man and continues to sell movie tickets to this day, witness two Aliens vs. Predator films, a Freddy vs. Jason film and even a Freddy vs. Jason vs.
