The Curator of Schlock #258: Manhattan Baby
The Curator of Schlock #258 by Jeff Shuster Manhattan Baby There’s no baby in this motion picture. We haven’t covered a Lucio Fulci movie in awhile. This is a crying shame that will now be rectified.

The Curator of Schlock #257: Brightburn Trailer
The Curator of Schlock #257 by Jeff Shuster Brightburn Trailer Leave Superman alone. Just leave him alone. I don’t typically review trailers. What’s in a trailer, honestly? False advertising? Sure.

Still haven’t managed to Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #252: A Wish for Christmas!
The Curator of Schlock #252 A Wish for Christmas Be my most tasty little dish! Thus begins week 2 of our Hallmark Christmas Movie Yuletide Extravaganza. I love these movies.

The Curator of Schlock #251: A Christmas Melody
The Curator of Schlock #251 by Jeff Shuster A Christmas Melody All I want for Christmas is poo.
