Hump Day & Chill

Kylie Minogue & Madonna

"When I feel alone, yeah

I always wanna bring you near
'Cause you bring a smile right here
You chase away my darkest hours
When we go walking, sunlight's all around you
It's all around you
And did I mention? You always bring me
Bring me back with your pure intention" - Love Sensation, Madonna & Kylie Minogue

Summer is coming to a close and I don't know about you but for me the album of the Summer is Madonna Confessions II.

Which produced the epic duet Love Sensation with her Madgesty and one Ms. Kylie Minogue. 

Thus let us Hump Day & Chill with some cool vibes during the dog days of Summer, shall we? We shall!

Don't be a buzz kill.

Toxic

Michael Shinafelt

Everyone has a "Toxic Trait" or two. I thought today I would share mine with you.

My "Toxic Trait" is....drum roll please: Knowing the truth before I ask because I wanna see how good you lie.

Go ahead, judge me all you want, but at least I own it!!!

So what's your "Toxic Trait?" 

You can tell me, I promise I won't tell another soul, living or otherwise.

Have a groovy week!

"Surf Nazis Must Die"

Troma Entertainment, the longest-running independent movie studio in North America, proudly celebrates the release of Surf Nazis Must Die with a new 4K Ultra HD + Special Edition Blu-ray, packed with bonus materials. For over half a century, Troma has distributed cinematic masterpieces such as The Toxic Avenger, Def By Temptation, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., Class of Nuke 'Em High, Cannibal! The Musical and Tromeo and Juliet.   

Surf Nazis Must Die is a dystopian science fiction beach movie that merges How To Stuff A Wild Bikini with A Clockwork Orange. Massive earthquakes have devastated Los Angeles, and anarchy has taken over Southern California. The Surf Nazis, led by Adolf (Barry Brenner, Maniac Cop), have taken control of the coastal turf. They’ve even invented a surfboard with a switchblade knife to dominate the waves. Eleanor "Mama" Washington (Gail Neely, The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear) has been placed into a retirement home for her own safety. When she finds out her son Leroy (Robert Harden, Overkill) is targeted
by the Surf Nazis, Mama heads down to the beach to slap the Reich out of Adolf and his goons.  

Surf Nazis Must Die became a cultural sensation during its theatrical run and airings on USA Network’s Up All Night. The term “Surf Nazis” quickly became part of punk slang. Director Peter George blended the beauty of riding the waves with the ugliness of a lawless world being overrun by fascist gangs. 

The bonus features include the Surf Nazis Must Die theatrical trailer; a Projection Booth Podcast audio interview; Who Controls The Beaches?!?, an interview with director Peter George; the original Blu-ray Intro; the original DVD Intro; scenes from the Tromaville Cafe; Waves Are A War Zone, featuring interviews with Peter George and producer Robert Tinnell; deleted scenes; Independent Artists VS. Corrupt Cartels; the Radiation March; Soul Of Troma; “INNARDS” Music Video; The Toxic Avenger In Ukraine; Troma Sleepover; and Troma Trailers. 

“Surf Nazis Must Die is a brilliantly conceived beach holocaust drama/revenge thriller that you can enjoy with the entire family.”  —Exclusive Magazine

Pillion

Here is a still from one of my favorite films of last year Pillion. It's available on HBO Max and I've watched it twice there and saw it once in the theatre, so I've seen it thrice.

For the uninitiated here's the story:

"Colin, a timid man, meets Ray, a confident biker gang leader, who initiates him into a submissive relationship, challenging Colin's mundane existence and prompting personal growth through their unconventional dynamic."

The film sits with a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Got it?! Good dog!

"Ooh-ooh, you can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen" - Dancing Queen, ABBA 

Remember this scene from Pearl where she dances and romances her imaginary Scarecrow lover?

If you've seen the film how could you forget it. If you haven't seen the film, that's the way it goes!

IYKYK!

TGIF!!!

Michael's Musings

My Demons Would Bend Yours Over, Cheers!
Michael Shinafelt

"Traveling through space and time

Interstellar helix unwind
Don't forsake or the love will die
Don't forget your love, alright
On the spiral light, we fly
We will be one, we will be divine
All the spirits, they all intertwine
Don't forget that" - Good For The Soul, Madonna 

Remember where you're standing was once the goal, indeed.

Congratulations to Olivia Rodrigo on the success of her Daisy Chain Fields festival which gave 20 million to women's causes, Bravo!!!
