The Anti Sexy
When “Sleep Together” contains no hidden meaning whatsoever.
Colouring Book Theatre: Kamen Rider
“Kamen Rider Colouring Book” Back in 1991, I spent about every weekend hitting China Town or Agincourt to find new laser disks or VHS of this cool new show I had discovered. Kamen Rider was that series, in Japan it’s a kids show and the best way to describe it is it’s one part Sid […]
Dark Lord of the Atari
