What I watched in June!

Watched on Sunday, June 28, 2020. Amazon Prime

Wow, this was crazy fun to watch and kind of relive my past a little. In fact, after soaking this bad boy in I jammed out to some Anthrax, DRI, and of course Suicidal Tendinitis. Being a young hick from a hick town that wore his hair long I never knew that Glam Metal, Thrash, and Punk all hated each other. Man, I listened to all of it never caring what side of the music spectrum it came from.  If you have Amazon Prime and you may have been a fan of this type of music this is a must-see documentary.

I have really enjoyed sitting back and escaping the real world for a bit with these Disney shorts. My kids are amazed to know these played before a big Disney film and it was the only way to see them. In fact, as kids, we could not wait to see which short would be shown. The Band Concert has always been one of my favorites so it was an easy...

4 Stars!

I have never seen this one before but its Burton so why not press play. Victor and his beloved dog Sparky watch one of their favorite home movies.

I beat you think this is getting 4 stars to don't you? When a jealous Donald Duck tries to sabotage Mickey's magic act, he ends up becoming the victim of many of his magic tricks. In the end, Donald shoots the fireworks from Mickey's flare gun but accidentally causes the entire stage collapse on top of them. Yeah, this was just ok still a fun ride down memory lane.

Honestly gave it 3 1/2 Stars.

Rat Skates - Born In The Basement. This engaging documentary about the birth of Overkill and the Thrash scene is told by Overkill's founding drummer Rat Skates. Again Amazon Prime with the crazy Metal era documentary. The only thing I found interesting in this one was the grassroots approach he took to get his band off the ground later getting burned out just as the band was gaining airplay. In the end, this one falls just a tad flat.

This film features four different segments, each of which begins with various clips of the Disney artists roaming the country, drawing cartoons of some of the local cultures and scenery. Not sure that the stories hold up with this old Disney special but was happy to click play anyway.

Walt Disney discusses the history of animation, beginning with J. Stuart Blackton and his Humorous Phases of Funny Faces in 1906, and including Gertie the Dinosaur. Really enjoying these old Disney made for tv shows.

Chad Buckley is a horror aficionado, and he’s lonely. Chad spends his days at his struggling genre video store arguing with his only regular customer, Sam. When an unsuspecting applicant shows up, Chad begins to teach him about the rules of horror and his video store at large, much to the chagrin of Sam. During Chad’s on-boarding process, we weave in and out of different hilarious horror shorts, each one geared at a different set of horror tropes. As this new applicant learns the ropes, he begins to suspect Chad of something sinister, but we quickly learn that he may have a secret of his own. I loved Scare Package the only thing keeping it from a perfect 5 stars is that it was not perfect. The strong shorts are easily the throwbacks with practical effects and goopy story's. Sadly we get a few that just do not seem well placed. This was a fantastic treat from Joe Bob's Last Drive-in and if you have Shudder and love those old 80s horror flicks this one is a must-watch.
