Steven Spielberg and Kane Parsons. Film makers generations apart, but both create incredible worlds, whether given $115 million or $10 million. Roger Crow sat through Disclosure Day and Backrooms in a long overdue cinematic double bill. Here’s his reviews, plus a few self-penned songs.

As a couple of YouTubers revolutionise Hollywood, Roger Crow looks at the phenomenon of BACKROOMS and OBSESSION. He also finally catches up with Bill Murray’s soul-searching 1984 epic THE RAZOR’S EDGE, and assesses episode one of the TV version of CAPE FEAR. Which reminds me. That Spanish actor was in our pub last night causing issues. “Javier Bardem?”Yes, for a week at least. Plus, a couple of original songs each centring on a couple of MCU icons.

Bookended by a couple of songs written by Roger Crow, this contentious pod wasn’t written by your host. And host is the operative term when dealing with a subject involving four of horror/fantasy cinema’s greatest icons at one of its greatest hostelries. Inspired by the picture you see in the thumbnail, generated by AI, the whole pod is also AI generated, but no less interesting.So what happens if you take The Thing, Alien, Predator and Hannibal Lecter and have them face off in The Shining’s Overlook hotel?‘Smackdown at the Overlook Hotel’’ and ‘I Knead the Dough’ written by Roger Crow.

Roger Crow looks back on one of the greatest thrillers of all time. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws has lost little of its impact over the past 51 years, and neither has John Williams’ phenomenal score.

Roger Crow, with the AId of voice-over lady, looks back on 1987 classic Robocop, Paul Verhoeven’s blood-soaked blockbuster which spawned sequels, TV shows and more.
