Quiet Days in Clichy – 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Review (Blue Underground)

Joey and Carl are two down and out reprobates- oops, I mean writers in Paris. These two walking hard-ons get into all sorts of ridiculous and impossible shenanigans involving sex, food, and money. Sometimes, all three at the same time. There are lots of beautiful women that come and go, and they are all treated…

4K And Blu-ray Review – The Batman – Warner Brothers

Before I talk about The Batman (2022), I think it’s important that I give you my long and sordid history as a viewer and fan of this franchise- Just kidding, I wouldn’t put you through that.
