    Plenty of options, but I felt like a movie theater murder mystery could be a good next feature after one about a writer. I'm not expecting Anguish, which is a fave of mine, but how do I know, not even having taken notice of Midnight Matinee before? #NowWatching #FilmSky

    At @bloody-disgusting.com, I reviewed the new Blu of MATINEE (aka MIDNIGHT MATINEE), a very smart, very stylish new-to-me Canadian slasher that deserves to keep finding its audience. Out now from @kinolorber.com Cult.

    At midnight on the Friday overnight October 17 on WFMU, John Schnall’s Midnight Matinee presents Alien Schmalien, in which the movie Alien meets the music of Allan Sherman for a comic romp through the cosmos. In space no one can hear you kvetch. youtu.be/AQsB2aZ4M0M @wfmu.bsky.social

    The other night I watched a movie called Midnight Matinee from ‘88. The office of the theater manager in the movie had a bunch of movie posters on the wall. Two of them were Hide and Go Shriek & Frankenstein General Hospital. I instantly thought of y’all and this episode.

    Apparently an alternate title of this movie is Midnight Matinee, which doesn’t make a lick of sense

    Saw the Super Mario Galaxy Movie with my brother for a Midnight Matinee. I have some thoughts, but I'll post about them in the morning
