The Curator of Schlock #94 by Jeff Shuster The Devil’s Rain Shatner versus Satan? My money’s on Shatner! There are days I really don’t like my job as the Curator of Schlock, days where’s I’d rather just up and quit and raise ferrets for a living.

The Curator of Schlock #93: Race with the Devil
The Curator of Schlock #93 by Jeff Shuster Race with the Devil Fonda and Oates. Need I say more? I guess I do need to say more, otherwise I’ll have a seven-word review. 1975’s Race with the Devil from director Jack Skarrett was a nice surprise. The Internet dubs this movie as an “occult thriller” which is what… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #92: To The Devil…A Daughter
The Curator of Schlock #92 by Jeff Shuster To The Devil…A Daughter (Seriously, what’s with the ellipses?) We continue on with Satan Month here at the Museum of Schlock.

The Curator of Schlock #89: Supergirl
The Curator of Schlock #89 by Jeff Shuster Supergirl The Internet can’t seem to shut up about that trailer for that new Supergirl TV show. I don’t know.

The Curator of Schlock #88: Mildred Pierce
The Curator of Schlock #88 by Jeff Shuster Mildred Pierce, or All’s Well That Ends Well? I covered a movie about Joan Crawford last week, so I thought it would fitting to cover a movie actually starring Joan Crawford this week.

The Curator of Schlock #87: Mommy Dearest
The Curator of Schlock #87 by Jeff Shuster Mommy Dearest One of the problems with having older sisters is that they would occasionally get control of the cable box, and thus I was subjected to Mommie Dearest on more than one occasion. I had never even heard of Joan Crawford. I was a kid. The… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #86: Howard the Duck
The Curator of Schlock #86 by Jeff Shuster Okay. I guess I have to ramble on a bit about Howard the Duck. I always think of Blade as the first film adaptation of a Marvel comic, but as the film’s narrator at the start of the movie proclaims, “In the beginning there was Howard the… Continue reading
