Director and New Bev friend Joe Dante presents a loving look at “B” monster movies and the men who made them. Set against the backdrop of the 1962 Cuban Missle Crisis, the film depicts an age of innocence on the verge of change. John Goodman stars as Lawrence Woolsey, based on the legendary “B” movie maverick William Castle. Screenplay by Gremlins 2/Over the Edge scribe Charlie Haas!
“A delightful comedy and one of the most charming movies in a long time.” – Roger Ebert
