Why it matters

These reviews provide a unique, feline perspective on recent cult, classic, and genre film releases, catering to a niche audience of movie lovers who appreciate offbeat and irreverent takes on cinema.

The details

The review of "Shakespeare's Sh*tstorm" highlights director Lloyd Kaufman's signature juvenile and scatological humor, while also praising the film's bonus features. "The Ogre of Athens" is described as a "milestone in Greek cinema" featuring "fine moments of perceptive human drama, charming comedy and even some film noir touches." The "Airport" collection review praises the 4K restorations but wishes for more substantial bonus materials to complement these influential 1970s disaster films.

What they’re saying

“If Dick Clark was the 'World's Oldest Teenager,' then Lloyd Kaufman is unquestionably the world's oldest 12 year old boy. His sense of humor hasn't changed one whit since first assuming the throne of low-budget bad taste in 1984 with The Toxic Avenger.”
