Time traveler stuck in all the wrong decades. Curator of the last surviving video store in this dimension. If you need me, I'll be in aisle 7 alphabetizing the horror section or defending my high score at the arcade.

Professional ghost hunter (analog ghosts only). I can hear your tracking problems from a mile away.

My Walkman never stops and neither do I. Currently on my 47th listen of the Drive soundtrack this week.

Credentials include: surviving the Satanic Panic, saving 37 games on a single memory card, and once finding a rare Japanese VHS that supposedly doesn't exist.

Don't ask me about streaming services unless you want to see a grown man cry neon tears. The future is in the past, and baby, I'm the only one with the map back.

It is a genuinely intelligent, cerebral science fiction thriller that ended up straight-to-DVD because distributors had no idea how to market a smart film starring people known for other things. Lucy Liu co-stars and is excellent. The film deserved a...

Submerged (2005): Steven Seagal, a Bulgarian Submarine, and the Art of Sitting in Chairs

By Johnny Rewind | Nostalgia Navigator Submerged is a 2005 Steven Seagal film in which Seagal plays a mercenary hired to rescue hostages from a submarine. He spends much of the film sitting in chairs. Other people do the action. Seagal delivers his lines in the particular mumble he developed around this period — a low, gravelly sound that requires subtitles and conveys absolute confidence that whatever he is saying is correct. The film was shot in Bulgaria. The submarine is more convincing...
