The first time I met Chris King of The Witches, he was stuffing my hands full of free VHS tapes. And I’m not talking crudtastic copies of Titanic or Jingle All the Way here… these were groovier-than-hell slipcases, killer cut boxes (yes, I dig the cut boxes, too!) and some stuff that would generally fetch double digit price tags among collectors. I was like, “Awww, nah, man… I can’t just take these, dude…” And Chris looked me straight in the eye, with a kind of flabbergasted look to him and said, “Dude… just take ‘em. Please.

The first time I was introduced to Drew Bolduc’s THE TAINT, it was on a clear pink VHS tape. Needless to say, I was all about it, and was anxious to see what these dudes were going to cook up next. Lo and Behold, co-director / co-writer Drew Bolduc shot me a message asking me to check out the promo reel for his brand spankin’ new project SCIENCE TEAM. They’ve got an IndieGoGo goin’ on right now, and they’re asking YOU to join their team to combat incredibly ugly and slimy future alien threats. And you can score some groovy...
