The Curator of Schlock #382: Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Welcome to Week 2 of Batman Month here at the Museum of Schlock. This week’s feature is 2019’s Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from director Jake Castorena. Many of you will be disappointed as there is no scene of Batman hogtying Leonardo as he cries out “April! April!” Batman would then proceed to slice Leonardo’s head… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #381: Batman: Gotham Knight
We’re doing another Batman Month here at the Museum of Schlock. After all, September 19th is Batman Day. We won’t be going for the obvious, big screen adaptations and will instead settle for small screen oddities in animated form. After all, the definitive Batman for me will always be the one I first saw in… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #380: Lizard in a Woman’s Skin
We began this month with a Dario Argento giallo movie so we’ll end with a Lucio Fulci film. Of course, Lucio Fulci is no stranger to giallo. I think I covered Murder Rock and Don’t Torture a Duckling years ago, but tonight we’ll go for a heavy hitter in the form of 1971’s Lizard in a Woman’s Skin. I will… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #379: Strip Nude for Your Killer
No one ever said being a Curator of Schlock was easy. Sometimes you run into movies that make you want to take a shower afterwards. Today’s selection is one such movie, 1975’s Strip Nude for Your Killer from director Andrea Bianchi. Still, it’s not all bad. You get a groovy soundtrack from Elsio Mancuso and Berto Pisano.… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #378: Spasmo
For years, a movie has taunted me, begging me to give it a viewing despite my reservations. The image on the poster of a hand breaking through the head of a mannequin is disturbing enough, but what of the title: Spasmo. I suppose it’s a variant of spasm, a tightening of the muscles by forces beyond… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #377: Deep Red
I skipped Giallo Month last year in favor of a Bruce Lee retrospective, but we’re back. We’ll begin with 1975’s Deep Red from Dario Argento because it’s the movie that got most of us interested in the genre to begin with. For me, however, it’s the American cut of Deep Red put out by Blue Underground so many years… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #376: Evil Dead Burn
I did something kind of weird a few weeks ago. I ventured out to a movie theater. These are places where you purchase a ticket to watch a newly released movie projected onto a big screen. You can buy popcorn or other snacks and sit in a big comfy chair. I think I bought a… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #375: Evil Dead Rise
I guess I have to do this. I have to review 2023’s Evil Dead Rise from director Lee Cronin. I have no idea if this is a sequel to the 2013 Evil Dead or if this takes place in the original trilogy starring Bruce Campbell or if this is the start of a whole new Evil Dead Universe. I… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #374: Evil Dead (2013)
I know I covered the Evil Dead movies a couple of years ago, but we now have three post-Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) Evil Dead movies that have been produced and spat out into theaters. We’ll begin with 2013’s Evil Dead from director Fede Álvarez, a remake of the original movie. Don’t let “remake” scare you off. This one’s actually pretty good.… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #373: Out of Bounds
Well, that was a bad idea. Never try to organize a prize fight between a kangaroo and gorilla and expect the gorilla to play ball. Morrie, the Gorilla, leaped out the ring and wreaked havoc all over the Museum of Schlock. The exhibition on Menahem’s Golan’s The Apple is in tatters. Catherine Mary Stewart’s silver boots alone… Continue reading
