PUZZLED PAGAN PRESENTS
A Shrine to Pop Culture Obsessiveness. With Lots of Spoilers

The world’s a pretty objectively terrible place right now, isn’t it? All manner of chaos and ignorance is getting thrown at us at a never-ending pace, taxing anyone who feels the responsibility to keep abreast with that’s happening. But, it’s always nice to take a nice break and finally check out a movie that’s…

One of the aspects of this new project that has been the most fun to me has been the way that I’m able to completely vacillate between radically different tones and genres, week by week. I’m able to jump between comedy, action, sci-fi, noirs, fantasy, Westerns, and now apparently Blaxploitation. I was honestly pleasantly surprised…

Well, after dealing with fairies, fauns, and fascists it looks like it’s time to change things up pretty drastically and take a trip to the Old West. This week I’ve pulled a film that’s long been on my “to-watch” list, but one that I’m seeing for the first time, the cult favorite Western Johnny…

The random number generator gods have spoken, and it looks like this week we’re taking a look at another film that I’ve seen before, and that I’m quite fond of. However, unlike most of the movies that I’ve seen before in the course of this project, I really think that this is only the…

The random number generator I’m letting run this whole project seems to be giving us alternating weeks between movies I’ve seen before and loved, and ones I’m seeing for the first time. So, after getting to experience A Matter of Life and Death for the first time last week I guess it’s fitting to change things…

Well, after my brief break we’re back at it, and ready to cross another influential film off of the Bucket List. And, once again, my random number generator has given me a film which I’d never actually seen before, although one which has been on my radar for quite a long time. Because this…

We’re going to be shifting gears a bit this week on the Bucket List, because it’s time to talk about a low-budget little film from indie filmmaker Steven Spielberg known as Jurassic Park. Maybe you’ve heard of it? Perhaps because it’s one of the highest-grossing and most beloved films of all time. This is one of…

Well, after starting things off with a screwball comedy and moving onto a solemn samurai flick, it looks like this Bucket List project is next taking a trip to the world of ponderous seventies sci-fi movies. And, like last week, we’re talking about a movie that I’m seeing for the first time. Although, it’s…

Welcome back for our second installment of Bucket List, my new ongoing project to cross off as many films from the 1,001 Movies To Watch Before You Die lists as possible. And, we’re following up last week’s inaugural installment with just about as different a movie as possible. Last week we discussed Sullivan’s Travels, a comedy that I…

Hello everyone, and welcome to the very first installment of my new movie project, The Bucket List! I wrote an introductory piece last week, but just to be thorough, the whole gist of this series will be that I’m slowly working my way through all the various 1,001 Movies To See Before You Die lists. Obviously…
