“Open your mind to the possibility that they are not bad movies, just misunderstood” – Mr. Lobo
I’m a big fan of sci-fi monster movies and TV shows with Doctor Who being my all time favorite. I really enjoy the new series and also regularly watch episodes from the 70s and 80s.

Those older episodes certainly don’t have the polished special FX of modern TV shows, but I find them just as engaging, and kind of …
