The Curator of Schlock #329: Tenebrae
The Curator of Schlock #329 by Jeff Shuster Tenebrae Also known as Tenebre. Someone needs to learn how to spell. I tried mentioning the coffin filled with ashes to Jervis, but he flew the coop before I could say anything. He left a note behind, something about a sick grandmother. Jervis prepped a rack of… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #326: Underwater
The Curator of Schlock #326 by Jeff Shuster Underwater It’s like The Little Mermaid only totally different. I like to think I’m not a difficult house guest, but Grantchester is back on Masterpiece Mystery and I will not miss a single episode for anything!

The Curator of Schlock #290: Lola
The Curator of Schlock #290 by Jeff Shuster Lola I think you’re growing up too soon, girl. I don’t like it when box art lies.

The Curator of Schlock #118: Rasputin, The Mad Monk
The Curator of Schlock #118 by Jeff Shuster Rasputin, the Mad Monk Women want him and men want to kill him. I’m a bit of a DVD collector. Others might say hoarder, but so what if I end end up being crushed under mounds of plastic discs one day. I can think of worse ways… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #105: The Substitute 3
The Curator of Schlock #105 by Jeff Shuster The Substitute 3: Winner Takes All There’s no substitute for Treat Williams. Yeah, we’re stuck with him again! Look, I like Treat Williams.

The Curator of Schlock #71: Scanners
The Curator of Schlock #71 by Jeff Shuster Scanners Now with More Asterisks! It’s New Year’s Day and I’m trying to think of something significant to say about the movie Scanners.

The Curator of Schlock #68: A Bionic Christmas Carol
The Curator of Schlock #68 by Jeffrey Shuster A Bionic Christmas Carol Steve Austin vs Ray Walston I’ve got a problem with mustaches. I admit it. I don’t like it when they curl up into the nostril, fusing with the nose hair like Jauquin Phoenix’s in Her, but I also don’t like the kind that… Continue reading
