151. To Serve Man

I watched this classic episode of Twilight Zone a few weeks ago. I remembered it well enough, but also kept getting it mixed up with The Simpsons parody. One thing I was unprepared for was how stoned and idiotic this advanced cannibalistic (spoilers!) alien race appears. I tried to capture that here, I hope. Two …

So this is a thing I’ve never done here. I’ve listened to the new Black Sabbath album – “13” – a couple times. It’s the reunion album of Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Ozzy Osbourne, their first full album of new material in over 30 years. They’ve reunited a few times in the past, and …

Trailer Park of Terror. Hoo, boy. With a title like that, I expected something ridiculous and over-the-top with a good sense of humor about itself. I expected tons of gore and comedy. What I got was an overtly serious movie with music video style editing, unlikeable characters – heroes and villains – and villains with …
