#NowWatching It's a Wonderful Life
Now that it’s finally December, I'll be spending the next fifteen days watching a bunch of Christmas films, with some old favorites and new ones I've never seen before. Up first is a classic I haven't seen in years.

You may notice the octopus has six tentacles as opposed to eight. The reason for this is that Sam Katzman, the film’s executive producer, only gave Ray Harryhausen enough money to animate six of the eight tentacles. As of 2025, all that remains is the head. #SinnfulSunday

Producer Charles H. Schneer said the idea for the film was inspired by the first hydrogen bomb explosion in the Marshall Islands, saying he felt if some creature came out of the deep "and then destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge, that would be a hell of a film." #SinnfulSunday

Since city officials refused to allow the filmmakers to shoot on the real Golden Gate Bridge, producer Charles H. Schneer put the camera on the back of a bakery truck and drove it back and forth over the bridge several times to get the footage needed. #SinnfulSunday

#NowWatching It Came from Beneath the Sea
Tonight on #SinnfulSunday, my co-host @sinnful-redhead.bsky.social and I are hosting a 1950s sci-fi horror flick about a giant octopus. The last time I saw this was when it was shown on Svengoolie in 2019.

#NowWatching Jack-O
Recently, this film was shown on The Last Drive-in, but I missed out on it because I had work the following morning. Just from the trailer, I know this is going to be a craptastic fun fest.

#NowWatching The Mean One
Tonight, the #FFBMovieNight folks and I are checking out a slasher film that asks the age old question: What if the Grinch from How the Grinch Stole Christmas became a killer? From the trailer and poster, it looks dumb but kind of fun.

#NowWatching Game Of Death
Even though today is Thanksgiving, I wanted to celebrate what would have been Bruce Lee’s eighty-fifth birthday by watching the last film Bruce was involved with before his passing in 1973.

Happy 40th anniversary to Rocky IV, the fourth installment in the Rocky franchise. After realizing that Rocky's previous opponents had loud, animated personalities, Dolph Lundgren came up with the idea of giving Ivan Drago a much more intimidating presence.

#NowWatching Fist of Fury
Since tomorrow is Bruce Lee’s birthday, I wanted to pay tribute to him by revisiting his second film, which came out a year after The Big Boss. I haven't seen this film in ages, but because it’s Bruce Lee, I’m going to have a great time rewatching it.

Like 28 Years Later, Weapons was a recent movie I knew next to nothing about, but was excited to see it after hearing a lot of folks praise it. Can it live up to all the hype? Time to find out.

#NowWatching M3GAN 2.0
I thought M3GAN was a pretty fun movie, so when I heard a sequel was coming out, I was intrigued by it, despite the mixed reviews, since I thought the first was a one-and-done deal. Will it live up to the original? Time to find out.

#NowWatching 28 Years Later
When it comes to modern-day zombie movies, I loved 28 Days Later and I thought 28 Weeks Later was pretty solid. Time to see if the third entry in the series will be better or worse than the other two.

Happy heavenly birthday to Harpo Marx, the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers comedy troupe. He wore a curly, reddish-blonde wig and did not speak; instead, he blew a horn or whistled to communicate, since his comic style was more visual than verbal.
