Joss Whedon, as long as you’ve heard of him, is someone you statistically love or loathe. Trust me, I’ve done the research.

Andre Gregory & Wallace Shawn 3 Films (My Dinner With Andre, Vanya on 42nd Street, A Master Builder) (Criterion Collection) Blu-ray Review

Jess Franco died a little over one year ago now in April of 2013, as one of the last remaining auteurs of early EuroCult cinema it was a tragic loss, but being in his mid-80’s, and having been in declining health for sometime it was hardly unexpected. If one is to find a silver lining…
