Summary

Cavemen, Charles Bronson, and the motherlovin' Swamp Thing! We are off and running with the second month of our third season of the program, and now we're really cooking. Look at how diverse this month's titles are: We've got a great little-seen Western starring Gary Busey and Willie Nelson. We've got a passion project (and you know what that means) from the Oscar-winning writer of The Sting. We've got the passion project to end all passion projects (and you definitely know what that means) from the Oscar-winning director of The Godfather. And you want a submarine movie? OF COURSE YOU DO. AND YOU WILL LOVE IT. Roger Daltrey. Hot air balloons. And Pia freakin' Zadora. Stop reading. Start listening. It's February 1982.
