I'm Working On: Patreon Requests (Patreon)

We've had a few new shadow supporters in the past few months and I am working through their review requests. These 2 are both great films for us but for very different reasons.

Alien 2 is another unauthorised sequel (we've also looked at Shocking Dark and Ghost House, which are 'sequels' to Terminator and Evil Dead) and there's actually not a lot to say about it, the runtime is SO padded, but that gives me the opportunity to do more than just point out stuff, and in this one I end up explaining the origin of the English phrase 'coals to Newcastle'. (It is relevant, eventually.) It's nice to have a film that has a couple of big things wrong that I can focus on.

By contrast, Treasure of the 4 Crowns is classic Cannon, which means that everything is hilariously bad. I don't really want to review it, I want to watch the whole thing and talk over it because there is so much dumbness. Brilliant stuff.

You guys always find interesting films for us - they're not always suitable for various reasons and we may come back to you for a different suggestion, but we always appreciate them!
