I’m writing a new story for my Patrons, and today I was planning to finish it and translate it in Italian (all that I put on Patreon is bi-lingual) but then something happened that caused me to reconfigure my schedule: a friend informed me that Matinee, Joe Dante’s 1993 movie featuring John Goodman and Cathy Moriarty, is available on Prime. And I’ve just paid the annual fee to Prime.
And Matinee’s a movie I’ve been wanting to re-watch for 27 years.

And so I put my short story on hold, and sat back and enjoyed the movie, Joe Dante’s love letter to 1950s B features and a homage to B-movie giant William Castle, the man who gave us loads of cheap creature features and some of the unlikeliest promotional gimmicks.
