Matinee
Joe Dante’s 1993 comedy gets the deluxe treatment from Shout Factory featuring new interviews with Dante and crew, as well as the full-length version of the movie-within-a-movie “Mant!” John Goodman stars as a gimmicky movie producer/huckster inspired by the real-life William Castle, who comes to Key West during the Cuban Missile Crisis to show off his new atomic monster movie. We can’t recommend this one highly enough for fans of classic monster movies or just a real good comedy with lots of heart.
