2026-02-23Total madness. It’s lopsided and fizzles out, but it’s far more interesting than the polished dross we get now. A massive studio budget used to make a deliberate B-movie is a move you just wouldn't see today. It’s a big, weird swing that doesn't quite land, but it's all the better for it. They don’t make 'em like this anymore. Ack! Ack!
