Do we feel obligated to enjoy a 100 year old movie, or does it <em>actually</em> stand the test of time? We're very excited to explore this, silent movies, and more. And we can't thank Paul McGuire Grimes enough for joining!</p><p>Happy Halloween, friends. If you like Camp Kaiju, please leave a rating and review.
