Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 06/09/2026Y’know, I was just wondering, “What would Plan 9 From Outer Space look like in color?” And along comes They Came From Beyond Space! #svengoolie 030
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 06/09/2026I keep waiting for the Avengers to show up on this episode of #Svengoolie. And not those Avengers. THESE Avengers: 090

Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 06/09/2026“They Came From Beyond Space” makes a strong argument against phone booths. #svengoolie 060

Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 06/09/2026The title music for this film is far groovier than I was expecting! Are we in for a mod time? #Svengoolie 040
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 29/08/2026My 3-step plan: 1) Watched Coyote Vs. Acme; 2) Loved Coyote Vs. Acme; 3) Dug up my old Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote VHS tape and watched it 010
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 02/08/2026I wish Svengoolie would always play movies as good as Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter. But then I remembered, there are no other movies as good as Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter. #svengoolie 040
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 02/08/2026An early 2000s remake of Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter starring Viggo Mortensen would have slayed. Vampires. #svengoolie 171
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 02/08/2026Captain Kronos and Marcus give each other the traditional Han-and-Lando greeting. #svengoolie 160
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 02/08/2026You can tell from the title card that this is going to be the coolest Hammer horror film ever. #svengoolie 041

Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 11/07/2026I recently endured a 14-hour flight from Manila to LAX by listening to nothing but The Best of Sade on repeat. Only Sade can rhyme Chicago with Key Largo and still bring me inner peace. 030
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 07/06/2026Is the demon in this movie from the hot dog finger dimension? #everythingeverywhereallatonce #svengoolie 030
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 07/06/2026“Call it off, Coswell” is a phrase I need to start saying on the daily. #svengoolie 170
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 23/05/2026The Mandalorian and Grogu skidding down a snowy mountain slope inside an Imperial chicken walker was the best skiing I’ve seen in a movie since Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me. 030
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 22/05/2026I loved The Mandalorian and Grogu. Especially the part where the film slows down so Grogu can build a tiny mud hut in the jungle to help the Mandalorian. I'll be watching that sequence and everything around it for the rest of my life whenever I want to relax. What an unexpected joy. 020
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 26/04/2026How to Make a Monster makes a classic mistake that so many movies about Hollywood make: the movies that are being made in the movie look better than the movie we are currently watching. #Svengoolie 3151

Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 15/02/2026Putting a random score on top of Tod Browning’s Dracula is fascinating. Like playing Dark Side of the Moon over The Wizard of Oz. #Svengoolie should absolutely put Dark Side of the Moon on this. 030
Mike Scholtz @mikescholtz.com · 15/02/2026Svengoolie is airing Tod Browning’s Dracula with a soundtrack used for a French DVD release? That feels weird. Not as weird as colorizing The Maltese Falcon. But still weird. #Svengoolie 041
