The infamously shelved Looney Tunes movie is good! Now, people just have to see it. My review:
In which we unpack two very different physical media releases from @VisualVenVideo: Robert Sigl's foggy gothic horror Laurine, and Donald Farmer's sicko hair metal demon flick, SCREAM DREAM doomrocket.substack.com/p/in…
