Adventureland
Despite the lofty name, it's just a sleazy amusement park -- will James get the girl before someone wins the Big-Ass Panda? Carl F Gauze thinks it's inevitable, but still fun to watch.
Black Metal Satanica
What? You've watched every episode of Metalocalypse and find yourself with nothing left to fill the sick, black void in your soul? Get thee to the source, man. Scott Adams recommends this Viking-fueled history of Black Metal.
Days and Clouds
Everybody loves a trainwreck, and when it happens in Genoa, it's irresistible. Carl F Gauze pauses to gawk.
Gospel According to Al Green
Robert Mugge's documentary about Al Green's tragedy-strewn return to the Church is given the deluxe 25th Anniversary DVD treatment. Can Scott Adams get an amen?
Population: 1
Apocalyptic sci-fi, Busby Berkeley, and the proto-punk of the Screamers collide head-on in this reissue of Rene Daalder's lo-fi, hilarious, and terribly sad musical. Is that a twelve-year old Beck making a cameo?
TV Party: The Sublimely Intolerable Show
Television can be good for you. Especially when it's Glenn O'Brien's NYC art-damaged public access freakshow. This is TV Party. Pay attention.
