As I’ve said a few times on the site, I’m kind of purposefully spending 2020 focusing on sci-fi and fantasy novels, just trying to experience a little comfort food genre stuff while the world falls apart around me. And, while I’ve come across some really fun […]
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 […]
