Huey Lewis once told us it's hip to be square, but not if you're Spookley! I edited ‪@AllisonPregler‬ and ‪@phelous‬ looking at a more gentle Halloween tale about a jellicle pumpkin ball - and added Hellraiser jokes.

Apologies for the erratic schedule, but it's the early October chaos of the BFI London Film Festival again. I've seen some exciting stuff like Ray Gunn, Elsinore, Wildwood, and more, which I hope to review in the coming weeks, and it's only thanks to your continued support that I'm able to do this, so thank you.

A Nixon spoof made *while* Watergate was still happening!? Pretty scary stuff! That could never possibly be timely right now... ‪@AllisonPregler‬​ and ‪@phelous‬​ howl in delight at Werewolf of Washington, a bizarre political satire and homage to The Wolf Man!

(I edited this!)

Go Go Childhood Embarrassment! ‪@AllisonPregler‬ and ‪@phelous‬ revisit the infamous Disney Inspector Gadget movie that was hacked up in the edit, as they look back at the nostalgia, deleted scenes, and even extracts from the shooting script! Its more packed than the gadget suit! I edited this nearly hour-long retrospective!

Man, I’ve been bad at trying to do these monthly update posts - I’ve let them slip by for months! I suppose I have my excuses: I’ve always been busy, and my editing hard drive actually died in June and had to be recovered (that was fun). But still, forgetting since April is a bit bad. So I guess this is more of a summer update, to give you a reminder of what I’ve been up to for the last several months. I'll break up his up into a couple of posts than a huge massive one.

And hello to the huge surge of new subscribers after my video on Ice Cream Man: welcome!

I’ve really been trying to lean into long form video again this year, and be more consistent. In April, I reviewed the Michael Jackson biopic, and it was Bad - and not in the good way.

In May, The Sheep Detectives investigate Hugh Jackman’s murder, and Leo Woodall’s Tuner discovers a talent for safe-cracking.

In June, I looked at the overly self-deprecating reboot of Masters of the Universe, Spielberg returning to UFOs in Disclosure Day, and the toys took on tech in Toy Story 5.

In July, I teamed up with ‪@TheBadMovieBible‬ to discuss Evil Dead Burn, journeyed into Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, and had a Brand New Day with Spider-Man.

In August, Eli Roth slopped up Ice Cream Man, Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor fought dinos in The End of Oak Street, and the long-awaited Coyote vs. ACME finally released!

I edited ‪@AllisonPregler‬ and ‪@phelous‬ talking Agent Cody Banks' inferior sequel, that takes Frankie Muniz's kid agent to a London of cor blimey stereotypes and dental horror, but I'm also in it on my own mission around London to find where they filmed it!

I edited ‪@AllisonPregler‬ and ‪@phelous‬ looking back at Agent Cody Banks, where Frankie Muniz is a junior spy who has a real problem with ladies, arguably the most 2003 film in existence. And, as such, is surprisingly horny for a family film. But also better than it should be?
