Yes, although it seems to be a Blu-Ray only release, and not a DVD one

Best Worst Movie (2009, Michael Stephenson)

Awww. A documentary about Claudio Fragasso's "sequel" Troll 2. I quite like the film, so this was always going to be an interesting watch.
It's a love letter really to genre fans, can any of us say that the enthusiasm on show isn't reflected in your own choices??
Recommended. If of course, you haven't seen it already ....

I'm one of those people that put off watching Troll 2 as i heard it was shit.

I always liked the original , it's pretty naff but it's 80's naff if u get my drift.

Eventually saw Troll 2 and it's kinda something else, it doesn't make sense in any shape or form.

Apart from this legendary moment my favourite part was the lovemaking popcorn scene from what i remember.



Personally no film can be that shit if you are entertained while watching it.

And remember you don't piss on hospitality.

That Eureka bluray with Troll/Troll 2 and The Best Worst Movie was honestly one of my favourite purchases of the year it came out, fantastic! I hadn't seen any of the films before I bought it either.

I recommend this Doc its on Netflix i know there is a film now White Boy Rick but i haven't seen it. It's a crazy story of injustice media manipulation and corruption on the highest level.

Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story (2019, Steve Sullivan)

If you don't know about Frank Sidebottom, then gather round.
A counterpoint to Ronson's film (which is a fantasy ahem) Frank, this is the real story of a man who kept at it ahem. He wrote some songs (one of which annoyed Richard Branson haha) and championed early video and PC "extensions", but only really made an impression with the addition of a large papier mache head. Utterly British and unique, he may be like nails scraping on a blackboard to some, but I've always laughed. He was even in Oink!

The Insufferable Groo

Oh, you've got to see this. A film maker hopes to achieve his dream by enlisting the help of a celebrity fan. Stephen Groo has made over 200 films. Not familiar with the name? Well, there IS a reason
Recommended.

Found a documentary on YouTube

Lovecraft: Fear of the unknown, a decent documentary exploring the life of the writer from his childhood to adulthood, his writings and personnel life, recommend it to fans of Lovecraft.

[Demoncrat]

Aye, it's decent enough. Includes Stuart Gordon of course (RIP).
