Gozu
21 december 2021 · 1 uur 5 min
We’re back and we’re moist. Between all this chicken custard, cow spittle and milk, Gozu has left us downright sodden. We’ve seen films use 3D, moving seats, and even subsonic vibrations to enhance the viewing... Lees meer

The Works of Robert E Howard
11 oktober 2021 · 54 min

Sword and Sorcery part 1
