Dead Cant Rant

Apatow puts together a brilliant send-up of the recent epic biopics of famous musicians Ray Charles and Johnny Cash. After laughing your ass off in every scene and at every song, watch the making-of extras on the DVD and you’ll really see how deep this movie was. As the man said, they had to force [...]

Did Jeff Peckman really videotape an alien outside his bedroom?

Or was it… Cthulhu??
