Today, we’re popping dare-based horror into the ol’ VCR.  Friends, there was a glorious time in horror where we all decided as a society that dare-based movies were the way to go.  And honestly, I’m glad we did.  The dare-based horror genre isn’t huge, and…

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Adult Swim Infomercials into the ol’ VCR.  I’m sure this isn’t a surprise to anyone, but Adult Swim heavily shaped my sense of humor.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping horror cold opens into the ol’ VCR.  One of my favorite parts of horror is the cold open.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping zombie movies into the ol’ VCR.  Friends, we all knew this had to happen eventually.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping fantasy movies into the ol’ VCR.  This may come as a surprise to many of you, but I’m not actually that big on fantasy shows and movies. I don’t like LOTR (I know, I know). I’ve never been about to get into…

Today, we’re popping a critique of 90s/00s beauty standards into the ol’ VCR.  CW/TW: EDs and fatphobia  Also, there won’t be any pictures in this one because it doesn’t feel appropriate.  Now, friends, I know I glamorize bits of the 90s and 00s. I write…

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping 2000s movies soundtracks into the ol’ VCR.  The early to mid-aughts were a magical and wonderful time where movies with absolutely insane plots were king, and soundtracks actually mattered.  Scoring is still SUPER important in film, and I don’t want to discredit…
