This was a great movie. Really entertaining, even if you've never even seen a wave. Documentary about some of the women who paved the way for today's pro surfers, back in the 80s and 90s. One of the Golden Ages of surfing.

Me at the beach every day. Except I stay inside from 10am to 2pm.

7/3 & 7/5 the Island will be showing Jaws on the beach. You can watch from in the water, where very real sharks patrol their turf for food. 🏝

PeePaw went to the Waffle House. You think he'd ever seen pre-shredded taters come out of a carton before? He probably shouldn't be eating that. Also, what kind of lotto did they hold to see who got to be the "customers" in there at the time?

The area in red is basically what I consider to be The Deep South. The gold area is the Creole Coast. The Northern Caribbean. French Louisiana. Etc.
A couple quick Southern hot takes for yall: 1. Sweet Tea sucks. It's not as popular on the Gulf Coast as it is in the heart of the South, which leads me to... #2. The Gulf Coast is not the Deep South. It's too Catholic and Creole and Caribbean and French and Spanish to be.

Our horror movie club meets every Monday during October, but we do a couple meetings through the year. This Monday is "Radical 80s Sports" night. So we're doing this double feature. I ordered Godfather's pizza, bc that was what we had when I was a kid. Which pizza is the most 80s to you??? 🚴‍♀️🏄‍♂️🍕

People think of the 60s as being wild, and they were. Mais, look at this ad from 1961. 😮

Geez. They're already lining up out there. 😢🌀

The Beach Boys documentary on Disney+ is really good. Recommended. Sometimes having a big giant produce your film is a good thing, bc they can get all kinds of expensive licensed stuff.

Written by Jim Wynorski, directed by Jack Hill, and produced by Roger Corman. I unironically love this movie and really any 80s Sword & Sorcery romp. And check out this art by Eraldo Carugati. If you'd told me it was Frazetta, I'd believe it.

May this trend continues forever.

I know this is a joke, but damn, I really wanna see that Rancor assembled like Devastator.
