No matter how popular Iron Man and Black Panther were, the MCU really came together for most casual viewers when the primary villain took center stage. After years of cameos and hints, Thanos the Mad Titan fully emerged in Avengers: Infinity War, giving the previous decade of movies renewed focus and purpose.
Although we know that Jonathan Majors’s Kang the Conqueror will be the overall bad guy in Marvel’s Phases 4 through 6, aka The Multiverse Saga, he’s very much in the nascent stages. We met a variant of Kang in the finale to Loki, the chatty He Who Remains, who warned about an evil counterpart on his way. And we know that Kang will arrive in full in next year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. But it doesn’t look like he’ll take his place as a major MCU villain until Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton releases Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,...

This post contains spoilers for Ms. Marvel episode 3, Shang-chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings, and Captain Marvel.
Thus far, Ms. Marvel showrunner Bisha K. Ali has given simple explanations for the change in the title character’s powerset. Where the Kamala Khan of the comics gained the ability to alter the shape and size of her body after exposure to Terrigen Mists released by the Inhumans, the television version uses a bangle to form energy constructs.
But in episode three of Ms. Marvel, we get a glimpse of the bangle’s origin, and with it, connections to the larger MCU that go much deeper than previously assumed. The episode opens with a flashback to British-occupied India in 1942, where Najma and Kamala’s great-grandmother Aisha sort through a temple razed by colonizers. They finally uncover a severed blue arm wearing the bangle, and although Aisha notes that they need two to return home,...

“Skip The Juvenile Delinquency And Get Right To The Sex”
By Raymond Benson
Kino Lorber and Something Weird Video continue their collaboration to present “Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Picture” with Volume 10—Wages of Sin. Unlike the other exploitation titles that have appeared over the last two years, Wages is not an American picture; instead, it comes from Switzerland and was originally released as a serious drama examining the social problem of illegal abortions and the need to educate the public in birth control, as well as make a case for the legalization of a woman’s right to choose. The original German title translates to, roughly, The Doctor Says… or The Doctor Speaks Out…
However, American producer/director/actor Donn Davison, who at the time was a practitioner in the grindhouse and exploitation film circuit, secured the U.S.

Tim York is the man heard crooning about Bigfoot during the opening credits of Blood Beast of Monster Mountain Aka Monster Mountain Aka The Legend of McCullough’s Mountain. The lyrics talk of how the tale of the creature changes. Not nearly as many changes as the movie itself went through.
The 1976 docudrama Blood Beast of Monster Mountain is actually the 1965 horror comedy Demon Hunter: The Legend of Blood Mountain retitled and chopped up with new footage inserted by Donn Davison, who appears in the film billed as “World Traveler, Lecturer, and Psychic Investigator”. Really more like a producer who made a go of it in the Seventies repackaging obscure, older movies with new footage for re-release.
Demon Hunter: The Legend of Blood Mountain was the starring vehicle for a little known 1960’s Georgia horror movie host who went by the name “Bestoink Dooley”. Sort of a bumbling...

I’m back! And so is Donn Davison. The world is doomed! Or saved; perhaps both. Well, if someone’s gonna do the dooming, it might as well be me, because I feel a certain salvation upon watching the incredible journey that is Blood Beast of Monster Mountain.
We get a country song that introduces us to The Legend of McCullough’s Mountain (which is also another alternate title). Apparently, as far back as the 1850s, local yokels have been seeing the mysterious creature that mortal men call Bigfoot. Donn Davison and a dumpy, clumsy copy boy named Bistoink Dooly (no joke) are on the case—but not in the same continuity. You’ve gotta understand the magic of the Donn Davison recut; we’ll explain later. For now all you need to know is that Donn does the documentary fact-checking on everything and interviews witnesses; Bistoink, ever the “loveable” clown,...

Today is a strange day. I’m free from school, but I still feel this pressing despair. My house is empty. I feel alone. And when I feel alone, I feel artistic. I resigned from the Liberal Dead, unofficially, a few days ago. But still, I feel the need to write. Especially when I’m alone. Maybe some of the despair will go away if I write. The despair of watching The Geek.
Okay, fine, it’s not that bad—just like the Holocaust wasn’t that bad. The Geek is a boring, barely-even-an-hour mess of ugly Std ‘70s fucking and bad monsters costumes. I don’t know who’s hairier—the monster, or the people getting it on—and yes, the monster is a Bigfoot. A Bigfoot who gets some. People, do a search right for my reviews for Search for the Beast and Beauties and the Beast. Ugh.
