Happy #BillandTed day! Couple years ago I got the opportunity to produce the animated opening for the Netflix film #OurLittleSecret directed by og B&T director (and great guy) Stephen Herek. I suggested we plant a tribute / easter egg. Not sure if anyone ever caught it. 1min in!

☢️#278. Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die, 2026. #SamRockwell at his full rockwellness is perhaps a rockwell too far, but I still enjoyed this sloppy time traveling romp. Flashbacks (and forwards) break up a fairly nonsensical mission to save the world from itself. Nutso fun! 3.5/5 ☢️

Welp, once again the functionality on ex-twitter has been goobered up (search useless, cut and paste won’t work). I’m going to take a break and see if it improves. In the meantime I’m committed to catching up on some review recommendations. See you guys soon🤘

☢️#257, Terminus, 1987. You will believe a van can have lips. That’s right, this bizarre dystopian auto-action film stars a wisecracking super-van with very disturbing animatronic rubber lips. Some cool props/stunts. Oh, and #KarenAllen the kid from #Robocop2 are in it. 2/5 ☢️

☢️#256, Surf Nazis Must Die, 1987. History’s greatest titled b-movie fumbles on execution. A few quotables and a fun revenge subplot don’t quite salvage from the randomly edited lo-budget plotless stinker we are ultimately presented with. But still…great damn title. 2/5 ☢️

☢️#255, The Cabin in the Woods, 2011. While the snarky meta-humor may offend some horror purists, ultimately this is a good natured tribute deftly juxtaposing bureaucratic mundanity with nightmare fueled thrills. Be prepared wear out that pause button in the third act! 4/5 ☢️

☢️#254 , Black Crab , 2022. Trading #Aliens for ice skates #NoomiRapace is a mother on a mission in a #postapocalyptic war zone where the only way out is across miles of literal thin ice. Haunting and brutal with gorgeous arctic cinematography. 3.5/5 ☢️

☢️#253 After the End, 2017. Why go on a epic #postapocalyptic journey when a light jaunt on a ten speed bicycle will do? Impressively executed on a shoestring budget, this coming of age tale is refreshing in its simplicity and mellow vibe, but ultimately a bit too timid. 3/5 ☢️

☢️#252 The Birds, 1963. The cinematic equivalent of a schoolyard bully pulling pigtails, #Hitchcock thrills in torturing his advance spurning starlet #TippiHenden. Nonetheless a damn fun watch. And as far as the #apocalyptic ambiguity, I’m calling this one for #TheBirds. 4/5 ☢️

☢️#251 Robot Holocaust, 1987. Despite adorable rubber suits (blowup doll C-3PO anyone?) and laughable creature FX, this #postapocalyptic #scifi with #fantasy trappings is a slog. #Sobaditsgood in its own right, I still suspect I should’ve opted for the #MST3K treatment. 1.5/5 ☢️

☢️#249 Robot Wars, 1993. A spiritual successor to #RobotJox, mostly in that we’re forced to wait through the entire 2nd act to get to some robot on robot action. Smooth stop motion and detailed models are great looking, but ultimately underwhelmingly used. #RobotTussle 2.5/5 ☢️

☢️#248 Things to Come, 1936. Not even the #apocalypse can destroy the transatlantic accent in this otherwise enjoyable #HGWells #scifi film. Amazingly ambitious practical/optical effects propel a multi-generational epic whose scope ultimately is a bit distancing. 3.5/5 ☢️

☢️#247 Mad Max Exposed, 2022. Bare bones doc featuring interesting blokes with interesting yarns. Focusing almost entirely on the stunts of the original #MadMax - I can’t really complain, other than its shortness. Subtitles on if you don’t have the Aussie ear. 4/5 ☢️

☢️#246. Jung_E, 2023. Convoluted world building and tonal inconsistencies are ultimately overshadowed by an intimate and well paced sci-fi story. Fun CG design and sporadically intense action. Sadly the lead actor Kang Soo-yeon passed before the release of the film. 3.5/5 ☢️

☢️#245 Driving Force, 1989. #FlashGordon and #DaisyDuke battle homicidal tow truck operators lead by a not-quite-Swayze (Patricks brother Don) in the all-mostly #postapocalyptic wasteland. Fairly tame vehicle stunts. Jaw droppingly painful dialog. Plus side? Its short. 1.5/5 ☢️

In poking around for my #WaroftheWorlds review, I did a further dive on Brazilian artist Henrique Alvim Corrêa, illustrator of the 1903 book edition. The more I see of these, the more I love them. A darkly humorous take, expertly crafted with dynamic compositions. Amazing stuff!

And I have to assume the wonderful @SteadmanArt is a fan - besides the overall esthetic, check out those bats!
