#VundaHalloweenAthon Day 6: "Digital Hell"

By

Welcome to Day 6 of our #VundaHalloweenAthon 

The 6th theme of the month is "Digital Hell." There are a few different valid interpretations of this but we envisioned this as basically being movies that reflect and derive terror from the Digital Age--computers, the Internet, electronics, and technology in general. 

Today's a good day to unplug from the monotony and download some horror goodness into your minds. Watch something new to you or a classic that has aged well--bonus Pumpkin Points if you watch more than one movie a day on theme!


Group Pick: The Cleansing Hour (2020) directed by Damien LaVeck and available to stream on Shudder is a terrific film that we highly recommend. It will unleash digital hell into your day, literally, and that is all we will say.

-Scanners (1981) directed by David Cronenberg - 1h 43m - HBO Max, Criterion Channel
-Videodrome (1983) directed by David Cronenberg - 1h 27m - Peacock

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel.

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...
