“Hey, who do you think you are? Tootsie?” On the surface, 1985’s Just One Of The Guys seems like just another light teen 80’s comedy.

We Summon The Darkness (2020)
Be careful what you pray for. We Summon The Darkness is proof that Alexandra Daddario will star in any film that’s willing to pay her. It premiered in February of 2019 at the Mammoth Mountain Film Festival but didn’t streaming services until April of 2020. It turns the whole Satanic Panic event of the 1980’sContinue reading “We Summon The Darkness (2020)”
