Do you have your tissues ready?

Okay, this might be barely a Frankenstein story. But hear us out. It's a light-hearted little comedy and it works as a really bizarre double feature with last week's film. So join us for wacky hijinks as a real girl pretends to be a robot, and a robot pretends to be a real girl. Join us as we struggle with voice commands, sneak food when the management isn't looking, and try desper

Has a movie ever more fully lived up to the promise of its title? This one's bad, fiends. Like, really bad. Join us as we go into outer space, eat at the jack-o-lantern infested space fast food restaurant, and then nearly cause the end of the universe for some vague reason that seems to have to do with a spooky black hole? We're sorry. Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And
