[Mini-Review] ‘Todd and the Book of Pure Evil’
I’ve always prided myself in not being into girly girl things. Well, sure, I like to dress up and look pretty, but throw me a good male humor dominated joke – and I will laugh. Plus, I listen to a lot of metal. Combine these two things into a show and you have a program I am now in love with. Todd & The Book of Pure Evil.
The series premiered on the Canadian Space Channel last year, and was picked up by Fearnet here in the US and made its debut this last Tuesday…
The storyline is simple. Todd, played by Alex House, is a loser metalhead who is in love with hottie Jenny Kolinsky (Maggie Castle). To do compete for Jenny’s love, and for fame in the Battle of the Bands, Todd must find the book of evil – which is naturally made from the foreskin of Judas, of course. The book will give him what he wants and fulfill his desires (within his pants).
Unfortunately, the town secretly founded by Satanist and we come to learn that the Book of Pure Evil is similar to a monkey paw and grants wishes in horrid ways. It also has a tendency to fly away. Thus, Jenny, Todd and his friend Curtis have to team up to save the day.
The 5 second theme song sounds similar to the opening riff from Nuke the Cross by Toxic Holocaust. Which is totally great. Jason Mewes (yes, Jay of Jay and Silent Bob) shows up as Jimmy the Janitor. And basically, despite being Canadian (and really, only a handful of shows from Canada were good like Today’s Special, You Can’t Do That On Television, and the original Degrassi), it’s a pretty fun 30-minute program!
If you like metal and offensive jokes -check it out on Fearnet! It will most definitely tickle your fancy!
3.5/5 Skulls
One of the genre films set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June is the sci-fi/drama She Loved Blossoms More, and a bonkers first-look photo has arrived this week (above).
Additionally, Variety reports this afternoon that Yellow Veil Pictures has secured world sales on She Loved Blossoms More, billed as a “family drama in science fiction disguise.”
In the film, “three brothers build an unusual time-machine in order to bring their long-dead mother back to life. When their delusional father comes into the picture, the experiments go awry, and they descend into a psychedelic hellscape where the past and present fuse in a comedic yet deeply disturbing exploration of grief.”
Yannis Veslemes directed the film and co-wrote with Dimitris Emmanouilidis.
Veslemes said in a statement shared by Variety, “[She Loved Blossoms More is] a ballad for the defeated, a comedy for the accursed, a moral tale for us all and our beloved families.”
“She Loved Blossoms More is the first film we’ve onboarded at script stage, and it’s been quite amazing to see it come alive,” said Hugues Barbier of Yellow Veil Pictures. “We couldn’t be more proud of Yannis’ vision and the amazing team he has around him. Blossoms is an emotional thrill ride and a calling card for one of the most exciting new filmmakers.”
