I'm rescuing some of my old writing for #NetflixDVD from Internet purgatory. I guess I'll start a thread of some of my favorites and put them back out there as I repost them on my bl-g.

I always loved these MISMATCHED DOUBLE FEATURE articles because these are both the best and worst pairings you'll ever see. My first of these featured Unorthadox 1990s double bills.

This was so much fun to write for @flickeringmyth. If you're of a certain age, you might look back with a knowing, maybe even a little nostalgic, chuckle.

Oh, hey. And I also wrote a few hundred words that put my affection for Top Gun into perspective.

Top Gun: Pure Spectacle of Bodies in Motion
Top Gun isn’t a great movie — it’s pure cinema that has the power to rearrange our DNA. It works even when it doesn’t. At all.

I kept this rescue mission going today.

Another Double Feature feature! This time I'm channeling the spirit of the DRIVE-IN with some movie pairings that tap into a certain sense of wonder. #moviewriting #thedrivein #doublefeatures

Among the Stars: Drive-In Double Features
“Drive-In” double features for the adventurous souls attempting to recreate the kind of anything goes mentality that made Drive-Ins beautifully nihilistic.

Because I'm filled with that wonderful ADHD, I decided to re-post my 1980s MISMATCHED DOUBLE FEATURE article before finishing the three I did for the 1990s.

You haven't truly lived until you've double billed PEE WEE + BILLIE JEAN.

Let's jump into an old Underseen/Underrated article for #DVDNetflix. Honestly, 1972 was one of my favorite years to research and rewatch.

This one's called: "Your Vice is a Cabaret and Only The Godfather Has The Hot Rock, Doc?"

Your Vice is a Cabaret: Underrated & Underseen 1972
If I’m to generalize the period, because this is a blurb and not an opus, I’d say filmmakers created, without reservations, in a vacuum of regulation.
