It was the design of Angelo Ricci and Joe Czanek and Manuel Silva to call on the Terrible Old Man. This old man dwells all alone in a very ancient house on Water Street near the sea, and is reputed to be both exceedingly rich and exceedingly feeble; which forms a situation very attractive to men of the profession of Messrs. Ricci, Czanek, and Silva…

It is true that I have sent six bullets through the head of my best friend, and yet I hope to shew by this statement that I am not his murderer. At first I shall be called a madman—madder than the man I shot in his cell at the Arkham Sanitarium. Later some of my readers will weigh each statement, correlate it with the known facts, and ask themselve…

I have examined maps of the city with the greatest care, yet have never again found the Rue d’Auseil. These maps have not been modern maps alone, for I know that names change. I have, on the contrary, delved deeply into all the antiquities of the place; and have personally explored every region, of whatever name, which could possibly answer to the …

During the winter of 1927–28 officials of the Federal government made a strange and secret investigation of certain conditions in the ancient Massachusetts seaport of Innsmouth. The public first learned of it in February, when a vast series of raids and arrests occurred, followed by the deliberate burning and dynamiting—under suitable precautions—o…

Horrible beyond conception was the change which had taken place in my best friend, Crawford Tillinghast. I had not seen him since that day, two months and a half before, when he had told me toward what goal his physical and metaphysical researches were leading; when he had answered my awed and almost frightened remonstrances by driving me from his …

Of Herbert West, who was my friend in college and in after life, I can speak only with extreme terror. This terror is not due altogether to the sinister manner of his recent disappearance, but was engendered by the whole nature of his life-work, and first gained its acute form more than seventeen years ago, when we were in the third year of our cou…

You needn’t think I’m crazy, Eliot—plenty of others have queerer prejudices than this. Why don’t you laugh at Oliver’s grandfather, who won’t ride in a motor? If I don’t like that damned subway, it’s my own business; and we got here more quickly anyhow in the taxi. We’d have had to walk up the hill from Park Street if we’d taken the car...…

Unhappy is he to whom the memories of childhood bring only fear and sadness. Wretched is he who looks back upon lone hours in vast and dismal chambers with brown hangings and maddening rows of antique books, or upon awed watches in twilight groves of grotesque, gigantic, and vine-encumbered trees that silently wave twisted branches far aloft. Such …

Justin and Josh are back with Starship Troopers! After all these years, Starship Troopers holds up as both an action flick and as a social commentary. Justin and Josh do a deep dive into the movie to examine what Paul Verhoeven was attempting to say throughout the length of this still often misunderstood sci-fi epic. Watch along with us or just lis…

We're trying something a little different with this episode. Rather than a feature length commentary, we provide a short retrospective on a nostalgic piece of cinema, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Give us feedback soullessminions@gmail.com or leave a comment so we can decide to continue with this experiment or bury it in the back alley of the inte…

We did some serious talking over 1986's Top Gun. Invigorated by the recently released Top Gun: Maverick trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSqVVswa420&t=5s), we decided to take a long look at the movie that made us all want to fly jets and unearthed some interesting thoughts and theories about this 80's classic... Like what is the reason why …

Regarded by most as the best of the TNG films, First Contact stands the test of time fairly well. It's got a lot of energy and a quick pace, combined with some fresh ideas. We are fair to point out the movie's strengths and appreciate it for what it achieved and not for what it lacked. Still, we do mull over its flaws as well. Sync Point - The blac…

The Minions, Justin & Josh, take on 1985's Spies Like Us. It's an outrageously funnny and awesome movie that has aged remarkably well over the years. In general, we talk about its awesomeness, laugh and quote the movie a lot...sorry but we just can't help it cause it's just so darn quotable! Sync Point - The black point after the WB logo has faded …

The Human Adventure is Just Beginning... Justin & Josh take a look at 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It's a good movie that has an unfortunate reputation of being slow, boring and generally uninteresting. However, we feel it to be solid piture with a lot going for it. Sync Point: The black point after the Paramount Logo has faded away.…

Justin and Josh provide commentary on 2013's Ender's Game, the long awaited adaptation of Orson Scott Card's acclaimed novel. Justin is very familiar with the source material and spends much of the commentary making comparisons, while Josh says a lot of stupid things (as usual). Regardless, we both enjoy the movie. Still, we find that it isn't perf…

The Soulless Minions of Orthodoxy provide commentary on the first cinematic outing for the Next Gen crew as they watch 1994's Star Trek: Generations. It's a far from perfect film but it does have some good elements. Josh is dismissive of the film, however, Justin finds more things to like about it. Still, both admit there was and still is plenty of…

Justin & Josh return to the Superman universe with a look at the "what if" version of Superman II. Although not perfect, it's an interesting specimen to behold. Certain modifications were bold, clever and interesting. Nevertheless, there are instances where the theatrical version out shines it and yet plenty of times when it doesn't. However, despi…

The Soulless Minions celebrate the holidays with a look at the 1985 film Santa Claus: The Movie. It's a celebrated film from our youth, as it is with many others. Sure, it isn't perfect but it's sugary charm is infectious. Sync Point: The black point after the title card Alexander Salkind Presents fades to black. Email Us soullessminions@gmail.com…

Superman returns in a better movie, Man of Steel. It's not the greatest cinematic adaptation, however, it is an interesting spin on the classic mythos. Man of Steel isn't the equal of the Donner films, but it tries hard to be its own seperate entity. It's not perfect, but it succeeds more than it doesn't. Sync Point: The black point after the Synco…
