I just watched Lucio Fulci's "The Black Cat" from 1981. This gave me what i wanted from an early 80's Italian spook show, which was pretty much just that sweet sweet style. I can't see this appealing to many people who don't already have a taste for this era and style of slower, creepier movies with (what seem like) lower production values. BUT! If you're down and want to watch a movie that probably inspired some King Diamond-esque heavy metal, this one is pretty good. Well done cinematography and production design make some great moments, and the special effects generally look low budget but i found them either genuinely effective or charmingly bad. I've been listening to a ton of the Flop House and stuart Wellington constantly recommending b horror movies and other great shlock has put me on the hunt for other gems of this era if anyone has any.
bonus: not something i think about often but props to whoever trained that cat. A modern movie would use cgi to show the cat unlatching the door to go kill that poor shmuck.
Since a game like Rampage doesn't have a lot of messy concepts like story and character development it doesn't seem like there is anything there to really "ruin". it just seems like they would make a tongue-in-cheek action/comedy with a lot of buildings being destroyed.
Skating still has a pretty obvious presence in a lot of the Bay Area, but especially here in San Francisco. It seems hard to generalize what all skaters listen too because, like what @alexw00d was laying down, every scene is pretty much down with skateboarding at this point and everyone's got different tastes. But Trap, Surf Rock, and Chillwave all seem like the skate soundtracks for teen/college kids rn.
