New videos will be up every single day through the first week of 2023 covering a wide array of topics including many of the categories in the Shelf Shock Rewind Awards, some topics that don't usually get covered, and many more! Check them all out!

Today's video is a discussion with Dr. Will Dodson discussing 2022 as a whole in the hobby. We discuss our favorite labels, which labels catalogs were outstanding this year, and then go into a long discussion on what "had a moment" in 2022, which then bleeds into what we will look back on fondly for our hobby in 2022. Unfortunately... it took a not so cheery turn in the end, but hopefully you understand the sentiments shared. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Will Dodson has an incredible list of accomplishments surrounding teaching and film. He is a professor of media studies at UNC Greensboro, Co-editor of American Twilight, and recent contributor on Kino Lorber's I'm Dangerous Tonight. In exciting news, he has contributed to release #12 in Tom Weaver's "Scripts from the Crypt" Collection. This release is called Tod Browning's The Revolt of the Dead and in it, Professors Gary Rhodes, Nathaniel Bell, Will Dodson and Robert Guffey examine multiple script drafts of Browning’s Freaks (1932), Mark of the Vampire (1935) and The Devil-Doll (1936) and document the step-by-step evolution of those macabre tales.
