It looks like my month is starting to pick up. I may be sick but the movies I have lined up for the next few days seem to be pretty fucking solid putting the rut of bad movies behind me. After watching a few duds and then checking out the amazing They Live Inside Us and season 1 of Picard I decided to dive into a blind buy I recently purchased. A few days ago I was at Walmart when I saw the grindhouse inspired horror comedy Voodoo Apocalypse aka Apocalipsis Voodoo. It looked fun so I grabbed it and as soon as I finished up Picard I dived deep into it.
