Review: Twigger’s Holiday
Twigger’s Holiday Slow January Records Street: 08.07 I picked up this gem of a DVD just because the dude who made it had some sort of affiliation with Sarah Silverman (he did something with her show). I knew to expect something hilariously bizarre but not what I actually received from this DVD. The DVD
Review: SOULVATION: the Best of Northern Soul
SOULVATION: the Best of Northern Soul Wienerworld Street 01.07 SOULVATION is a re-issue of a collection that was originally called “The weird and wonderful world of Northern Soul.” It is an attempt to chronicle the “northern soul” movement, a variety of mid-tempo, heavy-beat soul music popular in northern England in the late 1960s.

Review: Morning Constitutions
Morning Constitutions Larry the Cable Guy Warner Brothers Street: 04.03 Daniel Whitney, or as America knows him, “Larry the Cable Guy,” is a marketing genius. Work with me here.

Review: Hollywood After Dark
Hollywood After Dark The Film Crew Shout! Factory Street: 07.10 For those who were saddened by the demise (yes, demise) of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and hoped that its off-kilter brand of DVD commentary would roam the earth again, hope some more. The Film Crew (what happened to a clever title?) is nothing more than
