Sirloin Sovereign

     This week we jump back to 1985 for a double feature of b-movie bliss. 

     Just before Christmas, Lane Meyer's only two interests, his girlfriend and skiing, are ripped away from him by Roy Stalin, the bully ski team captain. Unfortunately, Lane is about on par with the rest of the town for eccentricities and he does not take this dual rejection well. Plus he's living in the shadow of his genius younger brother, delightful mother, psychotic paperboy, race obsessed twins, and a best friend from a home so horrific that it can only be obliquely referenced to keep everything nice and family friendly. Can Lane find away to claim his rightful place on the ski team? Will he be able to mend his broken heart? Will the French exchange student next door break and dispose of the family she's living with? Or is Lane just Better Off Dead
     On the day of Queen Amethea's wedding her village is attacked by the evil and very rapey forces of Lord Arrakur. With everyone except her handmaiden and herself either murdered or captured to be sold into slavery, Amethea begins a quest to save her people and rid the world of the evil Arrakur. Unfortunately, she isn't very competent at anything other than being captured and leered at while misogynist kink fantasies play out. Will Queen Amethea bring justice to the land? Will the hidden rebels find a figure to rally behind? Can anything stop the revenge of the Barbarian Queen?
     All that and Tyler and Dave get retro vibes with MaXXXine, Kevin finds himself lost among the sword and sandals set, and Craig learns that sometimes a 4-point turn just isn't enough. Join us, won't you?
