It is an old building that is used as an Old Folks Home. She does her best to help the people there, in spite of her lack of experience. It goes alright… ## [Import/Export: Day Watch (2006)](http://mondobizarrocinema.blogspot.com/2026/08/importexport-day-watch-2006.html) _2026-08-20 · Alec Pridgen · MONDO BIZARRO_ At long last, the Film I bought for a dollar in a cheap plastic case a year or so ago. This is Day Watch , the 2006 Russian Film by Timur Bekmambetov made before he broke big in America with Wanted . Full disclosure- I didn't know that this was the Sequel when I bought it. Do you blame me? The Plot follows our not-so-great Hero as he tries to keep the balance between Night and Day. Meanwhile, his… ## [Forgotten TV: The Outer Limits- 'Quality of Mercy'](http://mondobizarrocinema.blogspot.com/2026/08/forgotten-tv-outer-limits-quality-of.html) _2026-08-17 · Alec Pridgen · MONDO BIZARRO_ A famous Episode of this Revival gets its due.

A handful of Episodes of this Show were Directed by surprising names. Besides Arnie (here), we have Season 3, Episode 3. It was Directed by Michael J. Fox. How is it? Our Host introduces the idea of Insurance and consequences in his Segment. It's funnier than I made it sound. A man named Luigi (Bruce McGill) is in deep debt, is kind of a jerk and is desperate for a way… ## [Tubi Thursday: Dark August (1976)](http://mondobizarrocinema.blogspot.com/2026/08/tubi-thursday-dark-august-1976.html) _2026-08-14 · Alec Pridgen · MONDO BIZARRO_ It's August. It's Dark out right now. This seems right... A man is living out in a rural area. He should be happy with his girlfriend and solitude. Why is he upset?

This is Bionic Ever Afte r, the 1994 TV Movie that serves as the final (so far) entry in the Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman Series.

They returned… ## [Shudder Day: Tales from the Crypt - 'King of the Road'](http://mondobizarrocinema.blogspot.com/2026/08/shudder-day-tales-from-crypt-king-of.html) _2026-08-10 · Alec Pridgen · MONDO BIZARRO_ This Episode features a famous Guest Star. This Episode also feels very different- and there's a reason for that. Before all that, let's dive right into... The Cryptkeeper appears and talks about how he's in a Theater Troupe. This has nothing to do with the Story whatsoever and...well, there's a reason for that. The Story is about a young, brash and tattooed guy- Brad Pitt- who is a Street Racer.… ## [Forgotten TV: The Outer Limits - 'Patient Zero'](http://mondobizarrocinema.blogspot.com/2026/08/forgotten-tv-outer-limits-patient-zero.html) _2026-08-09 · Alec Pridgen · MONDO BIZARRO_ Another Time Travel Episode makes the Top 5 Highest Rated Episodes.

As such, let's do one today. My site, my rules! To Die For is a Film that I watched so long ago that I made Channel Awesome references in it. Regardless, all you need to know is that this woman is raising a baby that no Doctor can seem to treat. That is, until she meets Dr. Shreck, who she falls for as… ## [8.1% APY Plus Free Stock (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/DIlRID2pQVTJ) _2026-08-07 · **Sponsored**_ Claim 8.1% APY and up to $1,030 in SK hynix and Nvidia stock. ## [Immediate Response: Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)](http://mondobizarrocinema.blogspot.com/2026/08/immediate-response-spider-man-brand-new.html) _2026-08-06 · Alec Pridgen · MONDO BIZARRO_ Alright- it's Spider-Man Day!

Tyler: Norman, tonight I saw Disclosure Day. I don’t know where to begin. I’m reeling. Norman: I have had a night to sleep on it. Not so much reeling. Feeling reflective about Spielberg and how this fits into his life’s work. It seems like a distillation of sorts. Tyler: \
