That’s all for now! But of course, I can’t leave without promoting our series of movie commentaries, Watch A Movie With Us! Imagine having the likes of Ashley Moreno, C. Robert Cargill, Brian Salisbury, Jason Murphy and some of your other favorite personalities sitting in your living room riffing on a film with you. Well, that dream is now a reality at the low price of $1.99 per movie! I call that a steal!
This week, we added Evil Dead and Tales From the Crypt’s Demon Knight to the library. Sure, they would’ve been great to have for Halloween, but these commentaries are great to have year-round.
