#OTD in 2008, it was tragic death of actor Brad Renfro, gone at 25 to an accidental heroin overdose. Hollywood wanted an edgy young actor and found it in Brad: he was especially good as the teen obsessed with Nazis in Apt Pupil, but also excellent in Sleepers and Bully. Sad tale

It's more than a movie. It brought Mario 3 into the light... a tale of family trauma and healing... peppered with Nintendo references, hilarity and a big heart. I'll always defend this film. My brother Zak & I appreciate you, Shout! Studios! #TheWizard

You bet your fucking ass THE WIZARD is a five-star movie.

In honor of Steven Stayner's birthday April 18th, I'm watching one of my favorite movies...I Know My First Name is Steven.... brilliantly played by the very adorable and talented Luke Edwards Luke Edwards ♥️

If you're around Pennsylvania THIS SUNDAY, come see The Wizard for it's 35th anniversary at the Mahoning Drive-in Theater!! We're running our own Mario 3 Video Armageddon tournament there too. Tickets below:

Watching Shout! Studios’ BluRay release of THE WIZARD. A critical failure upon its 1989 release, it serves as the first family film to examine childhood trauma and the broken promise of the perfect family set upon the boomer generation. It’s a beautiful story and a solid movie📀

You screwed up if you weren’t at the drive-in tonight, watching The Wizard in 35mm and playing in the Mario 3 tournament I ran.

Impossible for me not to post the zombie vs shark scene from Fucli’s Zombi 2… I love it so.
