A 10-movie mish-mosh box

Posted on July 24, 2018 by Daniel

I specifically bought this cheapo multi movie DVD (10 movies on 2 discs) because it includes the film Summer School, which was only released previously as a DVD-R, and although I’ll buy bullshit recordable media when there’s no other option, … Continue reading →
