For its penultimate episode of the season, Fear the Walking Dead once again switches to shooting almost the entire hour in crappy SD video. This is a really gimmicky and frustrating affectation that I hope the show discontinues wh...
The closest thing to an acid trip in 1930s Hollywood was a Busby Berkeley musical number, and Footlight Parade is one of the filmmaker’s most potent hallucinogens.
