Happy Monday! We hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend! 🇺🇸 🎇 (And were careful with those fireworks - let's keep the horror on the screen and out of the hospital!)

Anyway, we're big fans of the X trilogy and saw MA###INE on Saturday night. We highly recommend this movie as a fitting end to the series. And in a connection to our own film series, we were accompanied by GOBBLEHEAD alumni Michelle, Jeff, and Madhura. A great holiday weekend all around!

GOBBLEHEAD 3 pre-production is going strong! And Dolly is helping! 🐶

05/31/2024

Happy Friday! If you're seeking weekend movie suggestions, we HIGHLY recommend FURIOSA. Back in 2015, we saw MAD MAX: FURY ROAD in theaters three times each. We saw FURIOSA last Saturday for a holiday weekend outing and already want to return for a second screening, especially in Dolby Cinema. Catch it on the big screen while you still can!

The mild Memorial Day weather left much to be desired, but the rain delays gave us the chance to read through and finalize the third draft of GOBBLEHEAD 3: THE THIRD COURSE! Indeed, we're already cooking things up for Thanksgiving! Now with Madhura's help on special effects and fight choreography! GET HUNGRY for an annual helping of HOLIDAY HORROR!
