Monday 21st July (Western Hemisphere): #MondayActionMovie
I don't know what the film will be yet. But the last two films had Kim Coates so maybe it will be a KC trifecta :)
Tuesday 22nd July (Western Hemisphere): VCR Party https://ohai.social/@vcr@watch.vcr.party
I don't know what the next film will be, but by chance I caught it last night and the film was 'Convict 762' (1997) (trailer, a scifi-horror flick with action stalwarts Billy Drago and Frank Zagarino.
NOTE: VCR Party's chat is not on Mastodon, but on its own website https://watch.vcr.party/
NOTE 2: It is literally a VCR party! The movie and other items are really played from VHS tapes, made clear when the host actually rewound the film :)
