One thought on “Considering the Cinema Ep. 018: Bad Boys for Life (2020), VHYes (2020), Best Picture Nominees Overview, and Video Store Nostalgia With Dr. Shock

  1. There is a brick n mortar horror movie store in tampa, Grindhouse Video, grindhousevideo.com . Always enjoy combing through the racks of movies. Always went to Blockbuster and Hollywood video as a kid. Fond memories as early as 6yrs old. I always went straight to the horror section and would spend a lot of timing figuring out what i wanted to get.

    Best Picture nominees ranking

    1. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 10*
    2. Parasite 10*
    3. Joker 9.5*
    4. Ford v Ferrari 9.5*
    5. Little Women 8*
    6. Jojo Rabbit 8*
    Haven’t seen Marriage Story or The Irishman yet, pretty funny given they are the easiest to view.
    I wish Dragged Across Concrete would have gotten more love. I understand it isn’t Hollywoods cup of tea. But Mel and Vince were phenomenal. Screenplay and Cinematography were great. Zahler, once again, has shown he is a masterclass writer and director.
