Oct 31 2024 128 mins  
The year is 2004, cinematic universes haven’t been invented yet, and CGI is the new exciting tech on the scene.

Once Bitten (1985)

Aug 22 2022 62 mins  
The episode that the CIA, the FBI, and Jim Carrey himself tried and failed to suppress! Join us as we review the highly offensive, highly mediocre '80s teen comedy Once Bitten (1985), featuring a very young Jim Carrey, a vampire MILF, goth flamingos, the longest castle chase in history, and a high school dance-off we can only describe as “not the worst part of the movie." Enjoy!L
