    6th Annual N&G 31 Days* of Halloween (2024)

    Another day of background watches because I have two weeks worth of work to do in a four-day work week. I'm exhausted. You probably know where this is going. Time for Tubi/Plex! Kicked things off with Flesh Eater. Uncannily similar to my Bloodsuckers from Outer Space watch yesterday (i.e., not...

    6th Annual N&G 31 Days* of Halloween (2024)

    Added a newer title coming to digital Sep. 20. Invoking Yell is a Chilean black metal found footage movie. Caught this one at a fest last year. If you like found footage horror, give it a stream.

    6th Annual N&G 31 Days* of Halloween (2024)

    Just updated the new release chart because The Coffee Table just went from VOD to Tubi. All I know is that it opens on a hell of a shocker and might be one of the most uncomfortable watches of the year. Can't wait to hit play on that later!

    I couldn't even imagine, this movie is so far off my radar. Consider my 😮 as an "OMG, you watched that?"

    6th Annual N&G 31 Days* of Halloween (2024)

    Work has me stacked this week, so my queue is going to be a middling mix of super low-stakes picks. (You've been warned!) Kicked today off with Bloodsuckers From Outer Space, which is nowhere near as fun as it sounds. This regional fare (Texas, I believe) preceded Return of the Living Dead by a...

    6th Annual N&G 31 Days* of Halloween (2024)

    Mostly worked through non-horror titles in an effort to reduce the glut of foreign language films on my watch list this weekend. Managed to include one in the mix, though. The Living Skeleton (1968), on Criterion Channel, occupies a cozy place alongside B-classics by Corman and Whale. Part...

    Everything Video Games!

    Got a little juice out of my neglected Game Pass this weekend. Figured I should tackle a few titles before the launch of BHVR/Supermassive's The Casting of Frank Stone today. Knocked out Still Wakes the Deep which was pretty dang cool. I didn't find the story too surprising (it's basically a...

    6th Annual N&G 31 Days* of Halloween (2024)

    Picked something low stakes from my watchlists while I multitask. Old People is a perfectly fine background watch. Unsurprising and a little heavy-handed, yet competently made. 💀💀💀

    Getting back into my mode of subtitled movies on weekends. Kicked yesterday off with action comedy Mad Cats. As a huge fan of madcap action comedies like Kung Fu Hustle, I actually wasn't hooked on this one. I spent much of the runtime recalling how I've gotten more amusement out of other...

    Y'all! This book is so fucking fun. Super curious to see how the adaptation turns out. R rating def gives me hope they don't hold back because for a YA novel it was rather gruesome. https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3828187/clown-in-a-cornfield-movie-adaptation-rated-r-for-bloody-horror-violence/

    Thank you for your service! The HoopTober challenge will be posted on Letterboxd tomorrow and usually starts ~Sep. 15, and I've already been earmarking several movies I intend to watch throughout spooky season. Having the N&G thread gives me plenty of reason to watch stuff that doesn't fit the...
