Oh, Velocipastor. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways… I really love this movie. My friend Andi sent it to me about a year ago. I have not regretted it ever since. I lost count of how many people watched it and loved it because of us. The special effects are… lacking…More
Your Highness
This is another one of my favorites. It is crude, hilarious, and over the top. It was also exactly what I needed after watching The Room. In fact, I watched them back to back just to restore my mental equilibrium. I have absolutely no idea how the cast pulled this off with straight faces, but…More
The Room
Why do I hate myself? This was an hour and forty minutes of my life that I will never get back. When I was done, I was literally on the couch in a fetal position for about half an hour trying to wrap my poor, poor brain around what I just saw. I am using…More
Jaws
This is another one I never saw before. Yes, there is a very long list of movies that fall into that category. My friend Erin, who had never seen it either, watched it with me. It was great. We kept going off topic and had to rewatch the scene in Quint’s house three times because…More

The audio quality isn’t that great because I’m still trying to…More
Die Hard
I had to do something to make up for last week. I think that’s going to be the pattern from now on. When I do something really bad, I have to follow it with something really good. I forgot how good this movie is. I haven’t seen it since the mid 90’s, and it aged…More
The Star Wars Holiday Special
Yes. I went there. I dragged my good friend and wonderful roommate Alicia along with me, partly because I didn’t want to watch it alone and partly because it was her idea. Also if you listen at the end of the intro, you can hear my cat Lucy. She was trying to climb underneath my…More
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Hello! Welcome to the first post for my podcast, Betsy Goes to the Movies… and sometimes her friends come too. About the movie: It was released in 1978 as a low budget spoof of B-movies (that is very obvious) and was directed by John DeBello, who also was one of the producers and writers. It…More
