Popcorn Pulse 193: Mash Potatoes

You know what makes a movie work? Like really, really work? Is it well directed acting? A strong sense of shot composition or perhaps lighting? No, you film school snob. What makes a movie good is having a long dead pan voice over which lays out the setup and premise. Lucky for use there’s a great movie in Red Planet[2000].

Manga Pulse 488: No Express

Everyone likes to save a buck here and there. Some people do that by reusing things like sandwich bags. Others will take trips to the outlet mall and stock up on irregulars.

Because we are imperfect but we try harder.

Manga Pulse 487: Double Sister

How many organs do people need actually? If you know and are some sort of organ expert, we need your feedback.

Popcorn Pulse 191: Tundur Park

Before the made for streaming movies there were made for TV movies. Those still exist if you count Hallmark and other channels. Most are crap but every once in a while someone would put a nice modest budget together and see what happens. Which is how we got The Park Is Mine(1985) from HBO.

Popcorn Pulse 190: Dead Beer

Hey, I can hear the music that you’re listening to down there. Knock three times on the ceiling if you want a review. Was that a thump or a shout?

Lord Red Dragonmort deals in memories. Somehow he gets mixed up in a conspiracy where a local activist has been killed and the guilty cops were witnessed by someone recording their memories.
