Kaela Sinclair // Original Sin
WATCH IT HERE!
If you haven’t heard of Kaela Sinclair yet, you gotta get on it. She’s going to be huge. (Also I’m a PA on this film and you can see the back of my head for like two seconds.)

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
WATCH IT HERE!
At some point in his career Jerry Seinfeld must have either gotten so bored, or so bold, that he decided to do a new show involving his three favorite things. If you’ve read the title, you have a good guess on what those three things might be. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is what to watch when it seems as though people just don’t get what's fun or, better yet, what is funny anymore. With Netflix being the perfect home to let these funny people actually be funny.

Mario Party Odds
WATCH IT HERE!
Utter annihilation and complete betryal are two deep-cutting feelings that can only be experienced playing Mario Party with your best friends. My friends Evan, Max, Hayden, and I would drink from a bottle of Knob Creek Bourbon (or, more likely on the cheap side with Lemon Pledge), and endlessly dive deeper into competitive despair, screaming at each other in Evan and Max’s apartment in Bozeman over this god damn game. The true misery and triumph that these mystery people’s peaking-audio screams embodied in the most insane last turn of a Mario Party game. It brings so much warmth to my heart. Miss my Montana buds.

SLASHSTREET BOYS // I'LL KILL YOU THAT WAY
WATCH IT HERE!
This is admittedly even a little too goofy for me but as someone who was a major Backstreet Boys fan at the precious age of 12, who has now graduated to being obsessed with murder & horror like many of my millennial counterparts - I bring you: a paradox of murderous SINGING serial killers who have remixed my favorite 90's and early 00's bad boy hits. Let's bump our bums to the very unwholesome very murder-y: SLASHSTREET BOYS
(P.S. NSFW because Freddie keeps dropping that foul language and also the entire song is about murder.)

Creating The Mechanical Crocodile for 'Rogue'
WATCH IT HERE!
Special effects for a 2007 Australian independent monster movie called Rogue. Any other production would have used cheap CGI for the creature, especially in the States, but these guys actually built a mechanical 7-foot crocodile. From a special effects standpoint alone this thing is gorgeous, but it's also just nice to see that practical effects aren't totally dead.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
WATCH THE TRAILER HERE!
With Halloween just around the corner, I’m recommending this movie if you haven’t already seen it. If you’re fortunate enough to go to a midnight screening of this, don’t miss out on the opportunity (I’ve done it twice already!). A truly unique, bizarre and cutting-edge film, that really holds up over time. Plus, who doesn’t love the Time Warp?

Better Watch Out
WATCH THE TRAILER HERE!
If I may recommend not watching the trailer, it will make the viewing experience of this bonkers Christmas-themed thriller comedy all the better. I went into this film only knowing that it was a horror thriller set against the backdrop of an idyllic suburban Christmas, and despite a cliche, beat-for-beat first act, oooooooh boy does it go to insanely fun places.

Things
WATCH THE TRAILER HERE!
Things is a Canadian exploitation film (Canuxploitation for short) that is so mind-boggling incompetent that one might believe that the creators of this film have never seen a movie before. The plot is, as best as I can tell, about two friends... demon ants... a pregnant woman... and lots of beer. Most puzzling though is the top-billed porn actress Amber Lynn who just delivers news in a news segment? Honestly I have no idea what is happening in this film but it needs to be seen by everyone. Its worse than The Room (because at least some of those actors tried) and more stupid than any Neil Breen film (maybe?). Last but not least at the end it has the gall to say "You just experienced Things".
