Movie Knights, Last week we journeyed back to the magical low budget time called the 70’s to watch a movie that we all kind of remember but probably wish now that we didn’t. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
It was a simpler time when they thought it was funny to insert a random musical number in the movie or stretch a small joke so long that you forget what the joke was in the first place. So basically this is 70’s Family Guy. This was a mostly boring 70’s ‘cult classic’ that we all can now say that we have watched.

New Business: This week is Suleman’s turn to pick, he has challenged us to watch Tiptoes (2003) starring a legitimately good cast. The twist is that Gary Oldman plays a dwarf, was this a smart movie back in 2003? who knows. Unless he changes his mind, god help us all.
I love the sheer joy in my face on the screen shot in the war room when we are first introduced to the dub voice.
