“The Dish and the Spoon” on IMDB

Comedy,  90 Minutes, 2011

I’m talking now to all the ladies in the audience.  You know how it is when you’re husband cheats on you with a yoga instructor from your home town and then you drive all night with no money to find her and kill her?  But then you decide to take a six-pack up to the beach tower and find a british kid up there?  So you take him to your parent’s beach house, steal from him, dress him in drag, show him your funeral plot and let him touch your boob?  You all know how that goes, right ladies?

“Tucker and Dale vs Evil” on IMDB

Horror/Comedy, 89 Minutes, 2010

[The second movie in our unexpected Tyler Labine [IMDB] film festival.   It became a “film festival” when we said “hey – that’s the guy from the last movie!”  Our rules for these things are clearly somewhat loose, but we find they work for us.]

Horror/Comedy, 70 Minutes, 2011:
