May is another B-Masters’ Roundtable month! Drop in over the next 31 days - particularly on the 31st day - as this time around we pay tribute to some of the most important people in B-Movies. Directors, writers, stars— Bah! Where would any of us be without - the guy in the suit !?
It’s RUBBER [...]
For the few of you who keep track of such things, I am phasing out updating the Leisure section of Teleport City in order to focus the site on the reason everyone comes to it: film. The Leisure material is being migrated, along with a bunch of new stuff, to The Astounding Cabinet of Wonders:

Hey, you know those horror movies where six idiots manage to get stuck in the middle of nowhere, and then they get gruesomely slaughtered one by one, and then the director and the screenwriter look at each other and realise they still have half an hour’s footage to shoot, and then all of a sudden more characters turn up [...]
“On June 10, Sony will release a 2-DVD set called “Icons of Adventure: The Hammer Films Collection Vol. 1”. The set will include THE STRANGLERS OF BOMBAY, THE TERROR OF THE TONGS, PIRATES OF BLOOD RIVER and DEVIL SHIP PIRATES. According to Sony’s publicity site, all four titles will be presented in their original aspect [...]
The more work I have to do during the day, the more I tend to goof off. So today I installed MeidaWiki on Teleport City. Now I’m wondering what the hell to do with it. The obvious answer is something to do with cult films. Actually, the obvious answer is, “Shouldn’t you be working on [...]
Presenting, for your weekend delectation, a redesign far too long in the making: The complete restructuring of Cold Fusion Video Reviews! Now with WordPress under the hood, the new site is more responsive, easier to maintain, easier to edit, and just plain cooler with the hip kids!
But don’t just take my word for [...]
First, Teleport City has finally managed to expand itself somewhat and add a couple new writers. That’s our hoopla. And to celebrate, new reviews from the new blood:
Mr. India
The film boasts alternately maudlin and jingoistic appeals to patriotism, a small army of aggressively cute children who are shamelessly exploited for cheap pathos whenever the [...]
Proof, as if we needed it, that you can’t keep a good devil down! -
SEYTAN (1974)
Liz Kingsley is the insane genius behind And You Call Yourself a Scientist!
Apparently I’ve been hacked, and will have to re-build a bunch of stuff. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks to those of you who sent heads-ups.

Alas, not the movie where Billy Blanks is a tae bo-in’ robot assassin. Teleport City has a new look, and it comes at a terrible time since I am leaving the country for a week and heading down to Mexico until the heat is off. And of course, a relaunch always ends up suffering tons [...]
After a hiatus much longer than any of us intended, Lyz Kingsley of And You Call Yourself A Scientist! once again joins forces with Zack Handlen of The Duck Speaks and Chad Denton of The Good, The Bad, The Ugly for another round of That Was Then, This Is Now. In what shows every sign [...]
It’s not my habit to crosspost material from my blog, but I thought some of you might be interested in the Christmas music podcast (first one since April!) just uploaded at Tachyon City.

One more thing for me to abandon in two weeks…
The Hell of 50 Movie Pack
An attempt to trace my journey through the many Mill Creek 50 Movie packs that I bought. Posts are very short and usually the same as mini-reviews I end up posting on the B Move Message Board and the Teleport City [...]
A while back, I posted some of my favorite search terms that lead people to Teleport City. Well, my next installment is here (not posted here because it’s kind of long and a bit blue in spots).
Keith Allison is the ruthless overlord of Teleport City.
A few more mini-reviews in Et Al.: Ride Lonesome (1959), Commandos Strike At Dawn (1942), The New Adventures Of Tarzan (1935) (serial), Rome Express (1932) and King Of The Damned (1935).

Forgive me this bit of shameless self promotion, but…
I am launching (relaunching, actually) a Teleport City side project called Jet Set Cinema. It’s a combination of Teleport City material and new, shorter material all concerning swanky, swingin’ cinema with groovy pop art sensibilities (Diabolik, Barbarella, Gerry Anderson’s UFO, Avengers, etc). So if you are bored [...]
Reviewing Dracula AD 1972 made me wonder about the high quality of other films that were released in the year I was born. Sure, we all know the big ones — The Godfather, for instance. But what movies defined 1972 by Teleport City standards?
Where were you in ‘72?
It was a pretty good year, apparently.
Keith [...]
Following in Lyz’s steps, Teleport City now has a section dedicated to short — sometimes super-short — reviews and really old material. Because lord knows I couldn’t let Bloodrayne 2 pass without at least some comment.

In answer to the question that has plagued me since the founding of And You Call Yourself A Scientist! - namely, “Don’t you ever watch anything else?” - we present a new site section: Et Al. - short reviews of the other films I watch. They’re the reviews I write when I’m not writing a [...]
