A few months ago I binged In Search Of Darkness II & III on Shudder and absolutely loved hearing about horror movies that I loved and discovering new movies to watch as well. When I heard that the same creative team is now working on a documentary on my favorite movie of all time The Thing I could not be more excited. Today I have the pleasure of talking with Founder & CEO of CREATORVC Rob...

Arrow Video has been one of my favorite boutique physical media labels for quite some time now because of their wide selection of titles.

We will also talk more about our thoughts on Arrow Video, our ev...

Just because I'm taking this week off doesn't mean that I don't have something for you to listen to. Here is a game of Movie Trivia Jeopardy that I played on my friend 4K King's Youtube channel. Not only that but the challengers that I played against are guests that I have had on this podcast Tim Talks Talkies & Movies With Ryon

Martin Scorsese is one of the best directors to ever give his take of the world behind the lens and one of the reasons why he has been able to make films for so long is because he isn't afraid to take a risk. Thanks to The Criterion Collection releasing one of his hidden gems in 4K with After Hours this gave me a great reason to finally check this film off my Scorsese filmography list. Today I...

Marriage Story was my favorite movie of 2019 and I feel like it did not receive the appreciation that it deserves.
