We all know and love Jamie Kennedy. Hell, even my Grandma loved the guy. I can literally remember walking into her room, only to discover her watching Kickin’ It Old Skool for the 46th time.
Read MoreStephen McHattie - Dreamland, Pontypool, The Fountain (2020) #video
A good friend of mine referred to Stephen McHattie as Canada’s Lance Henricksen recently, and while at first, I was a bit taken aback by this comparison, the more I dug into McHattie’s catalog, the more of a genius my buddy became. Regardless of who you want to compare him to though, McHattie is a legend in his own right, and I’m still in awe by the fact that I was able to go back in forth with the man himself. Stephen’s resume includes some heavy hitters, films that are pretty much staples of Blu-ray collection throughout the world.

Everywhere I looked pointed to Brendan being a HUGE film buff. Most biographies would go as far as to say he has an “extensive knowledge” of live theatre, film, and TV. So right off the bat, I wanted to know his favorite films of 2019. Brendan did not disappoint, and we gushed over Parasite and Uncut Gems right away.

If you know me, like really know me, then you know I'm a fan of dead formats, and VHS is my all-time favorite. I'm not exactly sure why, but there's just something exciting about an old dusty VCR. It's that same "excitement" that Jack Henry Robbins attempts to encapsulate with his latest release, VHYes!
