Yoram Globus and Menahem Golan relax during a rare quiet moment at Cannes, 1988:

The Vindicator: 'Science made his life a living hell. Now he's out to return the favor.' Key Video ad, 1986.

Happy 40th birthday to Making the Grade. The Cannon film featured Judd Nelson in his first starring role.

I binge Twin Peaks every couple years. Going episode by episode while reading The Essential Wrapped in Plastic made my latest rewatch the best since my first time seeing the show. So happy John was willing to share his unique perspective for this piece!

The Cannes Film Festival, 1986, Cannon-style:

'A movie about audience participation.' Ad for the VHS release of Lamberto Bava's Demons, October 1986.

Joe Bob's first impression of Jean-Claude Van Damme is pretty funny. From his 1988 review of Bloodsport:

Tonight I watched Chuck Norris' 'Invasion U.S.A.' again on BD. I remember Chuck Norris was so popular in those days. Cannon Films was also very active back then. I also want to watch the Braddock series again. I remember crying when I saw 'Braddock: Missing in Action III'.
