Groovy Stuff Alert! WIZARDS: The fantastical journey of Magic VS. Technology!

Throughout my virtually ritualistic movie viewing and researching, it’s always groovy to find stuff that totally missed my radar – especially something of a cult classic, resounding nature. An instance such as this just occurred a couple weekends ago after a great session of beer drinking and making merry the night before, which made for an excellent morning of cartoon watching, maximum chillin’ and eggs and taters. But perhaps I should start from the beginning… One of my best buds and I were talking about something or another a few months back (undoubtedly something gloriously nerdy), and he said “Hey,...

So, I walked into this Time Machine . . .

Just a couple of days ago, I did a post about the Demon Queen tape that fetched nearly $800 on eBay, which is unsurprisingly getting a ton of attention. In closing that piece, I encouraged all the Videovores out there to scour the depths of any & all flea markets, dirt malls, second-hand shops and any place that bares the word “video” on its signage.
