Posted on August 4, 2020 by Adam Randall

The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell

Posted on July 5, 2020 by Adam Randall

If you’ve ever seen The Room, you’ll know it’s just about the most bizarre movie ever made. Supposedly a serious drama, you’ll find it full of extremely oddball humour born out of the fact that all of the character are … Continue reading →
