FEEDBACK
Don Joe: Doc is going beast mode with the beard! Haha! I do enjoy this new News segment and wish I’d discovered you guys sooner. Saw 10 – bring it on, I love this series so much. I’d love a reboot (not happening, I know) to bring John Kramer back. I’m down with any King adaptation, no matter how good or bad it turns out, they’re always interesting. All of those new streaming films look good but since I’ve never seen Orphan and ending got spoiled for me, I’m looking forward to watching them both now. Lisa Frankenstein – love the many takes on this story and how it has become it’s own sub-genre of horror. GDT’s COC (lol) – amazing, looks so good and makes me extra excited for my fav time of year.
