Sharknado (2013)
May 19, 2026
IMDB: 3.3/10 A Surfer champion and his friends try to save the city from shark infested water spouts brought on by global warming. The jewel in the crown of The Asylum firm of movie producers, and arguably their most well known film, I've watched a bunch of Asylum movies and they range from decent, watchable affairs to downright atrocious bum gravy. This one ranked sorta just above that to be honest.

Flying Disc Man From Mars (1950)
May 8, 2026
IMDB: 5.2/10 A team of ex-air force members attempt to stop a Scientist working for a Martian visitor from acquiring nuclear weapons. Not so much a movie as an episodic TV show mashed together as a movie, this was like the granddaddy of modern day Netflix or Disney+ TV shows with the whole movie consisting of about 12 episodes.

Dracula (1931)
Apr 19, 2026
IMDB: 7.3/10 Transylvanian Count Dracula travels to London, falling for the daughter of a Insane Asylum Doctor who he attempts to make his Bride. It's my birthday this weekend! So to celebrate I treated myself to some whisky I brought back from Scotland, whilst watching the 1931 Dracula, a movie which incredibly I genuinely have never watched before until now!

Beaster Day (2014)
Apr 5, 2026
IMDB: 3.1/10 Several people pretending to act in a "movie" are slaughtered by one of the worst excuses for a monster I've ever seen. Good lordy lord.

Forbidden World (1982)
Mar 30, 2026
IMDB: 5.1/10 A Spaceship Captain answers a distress call from a science lab on an isolated planet to discover an experiment gone wrong is killing the inhabitants. Oh err! Bit spicy this one! Not afraid to show a little bit of boob. Or bum. But yeah, I enjoyed this one. Very B-Movie and with the hallmarks of a low budget production but with clear focus and attention on making a good science fiction horror. Lot's of gloop, and gore, maybe a bit too much at times.

The Killer Shrews (1959)
Mar 20, 2026
IMDB: 4.2/10 A Sailor visiting a team of Scientists on a remote island is marooned there when the island is overrun with giant shrews from a failed experiment. I downloaded the Tubi app recently after seeing good things about it on Bluesky and there are a whole plethora of pulp sci-fi movies on there for me to work through! So I picked my first one tonight; the heartwarming tale of some massive shrews who devour their victims whole!
the worst
The VelociPastor (2017)
Mar 14, 2026
IMDB: 5.1/10 A Priest gains the ability to turn into a dinosaur and after befriending a Prostitute, uses it to kill bad people. I watched this 3 beers deep in a hotel room whilst my fiancée sat next to me playing Animal Crossing on Nintendo Switch, occasionally looking up from the screen to mutter; "oh my god." before going back to playing.
