Surprisingly deft, low-key mystery entertainment.

Since I never watched (& just purchased) the made-for-Sci-Fi Channel sequels, I revisited 1995's SPECIES. Fun times! Michael Madsen in top 90s tough-guy form; Marg Helgenberger scientifically testing crime scene materials 5 years before doing it on CSI; Alfred Molina a decade before he was Doc Ock; 15-year-old Michelle Williams, 3 years before Dawson's Creek; Forest Whitaker (cuz he was in EVERYthing); & Ben Kingsley as Xavier, the leader of this ragged X-Men-style group. But me & the college roomies were 19 at the time I originally saw this. Would we have been as interested if newcomer Natasha Henstridge wasn't the main attraction? 😳 One of my oldest Blu-rays, this is a 2006 pressing from Sony. Still fun to watch.

#OTD in 1953, Portland Wrestling premiered on TV. I stumbled across a DVD recently, PORTLAND WRESTLING SERIES VOL. 1, which featured some childhood faves, mainly Roddy Piper, Billy Jack Haynes & Rip Oliver. Check out my review at DrunkTV.net!

Bruce Willis, Problem Child, Van Damme, Sonic - a look at new & upcoming physical media releases from @MillCreekEnt! Link to watch in description.

Subtitles, axe murders, idiot 80s teens: some thoughts on 1989's GRAVE ROBBERS (Ladrones De Tumbas), released on Blu-ray by @vinegarsyndome. (Video link in description)

My @classicpopmag subscriber copy arrived today. Have you listened to the new @garynuman album?

Finally got around to watching my Blu-ray of CUTTING CLASS (released in 1989, shot in 87-88) - Brad Pitt's first major role. But I watched it for Jill Schoelen, of course. More miracle work by @vinegarsyndrome. Includes a great new interview with Schoelen in the special features.

A rambling pop culture conversation.
