So here's what's cool about my job:

Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

If you ever have the chance, drive out to Snoqualmie Falls and North Bend, WA, where much of Twin Peaks was filmed. It's one of the most beautiful places you'll ever see.

A couple of weeks ago I accidentally bought a Region B BD of 'Cisco Pike.' I didn't have an all-region player. I was readying up a return of the disc when I thought to myself, "WHY don't I have an all-region player at this point?" So, I bought one and it's here. Inaugural spin, natch...

Maaan, I wish there were three more Russ Meyer movies coming out from Severin next month. I need another fix!

Best enjoyed if you've seen his recent films, particularly Siberia (2020), but there's a lot of other references in it, going back at least to The Addiction.
Obscure Abel Ferrara of the evening:

For some reason, Abel Ferrara's 2020 documentary about himself and the pandemic, SPORTIN' LIFE, w/ Willem Dafoe, Cristina Chiriac & Paul Hipp, is only available via IndieWeb. But available in its entirety it is!

Why the war on "explanations?" Explaining is good. Share your thoughts, tell us what you think. It's okay.

Saluting the immortal Mike Vraney, founder of Something Weird Video, born on this day in 1957. The most important archivist in the history of exploitation film, he was dubbed "The 41st Thief" by David F. Friedman. Thank you for everything Mike, you truly gave us your all!

I just heard the phrase "rebel angels" in an explanation of 'Paradise Lost.' THE REBEL ANGELS sounds like a great unmade AIP biker flick (aka SATAN'S REBEL ANGELS) that would also be the name of a Portland garage rock band that does Davie Allen covers.

Every time another lousy music biopic comes out, people inevitably say "if it turns young people on to (insert name here) it's worth it." What bullshit. You know what would be better at turning people on to an artist? An actual GOOD movie. Too much to ask for I guess.

I'm having a 70s sitcom Christmas episode marathon today. So far I've watched holiday themed episodes of Mork & Mindy, The Jeffersons, The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, 2 WKRP In Cincinnati's and I'm currently watching "Ebenezer Sanford" from season 5 of Sanford and Son.
