DAILY CALL SHEET: DECEMBER 12, 2022

Rawhead Rex (1986) Rude rubber demon terrorizes the Irish countryside. Clive Barker adaptation is probably not his proudest moment. TIL: In Barker's short story, Rex embodied the unfettered male sex drive, which Christianity tries to keep in check, in part, for women's sake.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) Weird Al conquers the world, but Madonna wants it for her own. Not true? Bah! Every second of this movie is now historical canon in my mind. TIL: For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his totally weird life?

Hired to Kill (1990) Bro lifter MERC goes undercover as a gay fashion designer; assassin/model gal pals tag along. So, how much booze did Oliver Reed down to get through this? TIL: Abstinence from alcohol may be morally appropriate at times, but it's not required by Scripture.

Dad Rock Diary: Ram Jam - Ram Jam (1977) Sounds like the jukebox inside a bar with nothing but trucks, motorcycles, and muscle cars in the parking lot. Laudable Lyrics: I don't care about the money, I ain't seen none, and I don't care about the women cause I just need one.

DAILY CALL SHEET: DECEMBER 3, 2022

The Curse of La Patasola (2022) Camping couples summon a demon that punishes the unfaithful. South American folklore has promise. Alas, unfulfilled. TIL: Sacramental marriage expresses the unbreakable bond between Christ and Church, so yeah, God's not too fond of adulterers.

Dad Rock Diary: Dave Loggins - Apprentice (In a Musical Workshop) (1974) Decent 70's singer/songwriter vibe, but only Please Come To Boston sticks. Laudable Lyrics: You're a worthless woman, an aging overnight friend... nobody needs to be drowned in your wishing well of sin.
