Betsy Goes to the Movies... and sometimes her friends go too Betsy & Friends

I needed a great movie, and this did not disappoint. Within ten minutes I knew it was going to make my top five vampire movies list. It has the perfect blend of campy/gory/jumpy moments, the special effects are great, and the acting is spot on. So listen as I get mad at Matt, get really excited about Anthony Head, and just overall enjoy myself.

This movie was hard for a number of reasons. First of all, what the hell did I watch?! Second of all, it was recommended by a dear friend who passed away a year ago. I had actually recorded this episode right before he died, and I didn't listen to it until I edited it for this post. So that was difficult. I also did not get the Neverending Story vibe I was promised. There were a lot of "what the hell is going on" moments though.

This movie puts the bad in "so bad it's good". It's deliciously low budget, campy, ridiculous, and I loved it. Listen as I point out plot holes, terrible wigs, and just overall enjoy myself.

To give you an idea of how bad this movie is, I watched it in the middle of October in 2023. That's how much I dreaded listening to the recording. It is on par with The Room or Bloodrayne for being a terrible movie, and I think the 19% on Rotten Tomatoes is actually very generous.

I will never watch this again, and if you want to be spared, just listen to this episode. Trust me.

Hey, once a month is better than nothing, right? I cannot express how much I love this movie. If you haven't seen it, then you definitely need to fix that. It's the perfect blend of humor, gore, ick, and lovable and hatable characters. Listen while I get heavily invested and yell at the screen-- a lot.

Welcome back! Again. I had a rough time mentally the last few months, and I did not handle it well, so here we are, back logged once more. I did decide to stop pressuring myself though. It would be nice to stick to a schedule, but if I can't, then I can't.

I enjoyed this version of Mortal Kombat. To be honest, I also really enjoyed the one that came out in the 90's. The first one. The second one should be buried, which means, of course, it's going to be an episode as soon as I can trick someone into watching it with me.
