Only watches old tv or movie shows with dead actors.
He eschews with revulsion neatly any media in the 21st century. His favorite actors are Johnny Weismuller, and Basil Rathbone. His favorite writers are HP Lovecraft, Arthur Conan Doyle, anf Edgar Rice Burroughs. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Greek mythology. And has run a D&D campaign since the late 70s.
And he HATES the MCU/DCU with a passion of a thousand fiery suns.

Dark Shadows: Episode #1.233 (1967)
One of the best episodes of the early years...
A raging thunderstorm strikes Collinswood leaving Vicky and Carolyn trapped in the dark. From out of the Shadows comes Barnabas. He tries to sooth their fears and unintendedly reveals a bit too much knowledge of the past; as he tells the tale of the tragic death of Josette Collins. The air of menace and tragedy revealed here is probably Gothic horror at its best. And the vampiric nature of Barnabas is revealed for this who could suspect it.
Kudos to the acting of Jonathan Fred. The scene is riveting every time I watch it. The follow up scenes where he mocks Vitoria and threatens her are equally chilling.
Backfire (2017)
Interesting Crime Movie!
I guess I was in the mood for a violent senseless crime movie, and this movie did not disappoint..I am surprised at so many bad reviews. This movie was NOT that bad. You really begin to like the main character and his friends as they tussle with the mob over and over again. The mobsters did not disappoint either. They were right out of the Sopranos. There was a surprise twist, a few shockers, a final shootout that was pretty darned good. The final scene left me wishing for a sequel.
I could see the South Philly Mob calling in the North Philly Mob for a few favors, and Jerome, Smoke and their other friends will have to fight bigger badder mobsters, just to stay in Philly. So I say to the dirctots, actors and writers- do it again. You know what the bumps and mistakes were. Do it again better with Backfire 2. And then Maybe Backfire 3?.Crazier things have happened!
