About Us

We absolutely love dead media and films and tv of yesterday.  Since the late 1990’s Mark and Chris have joined forces to not only discuss but dissect strange and wonderful films you may or may not have ever heard of.  Check out the archives for our tribute to the career of Eddie Deezen AKA Deezenpalooza or check out our love of documentaries about Tiffany’s stalker or Cory Haim’s love letter to himself – this stuff is amazing and we will keep bringing you more if you keep listening!
