Okay, fine. First-timer here. Let's give this a go.
1. All films available on Tubi or Plex because I'm cheap AF.
2. I tried to pick films I have not seen although I'm limited by the cheapness mentioned above. I'd already seen Spontaneous Combustion, Cemetery Man, Class of Nuke 'Em High, and Crawlspace - so I may or may not rewatch these if I have time.
3. The campier and trashier, the better.
4. These are listed in planned viewing order and I usually watch 3 movies in one sitting. Each "batch" typically has one foreign film, one legit(ish) film, and one campier film - with their release dates spread…

Each "batch" typically has one foreign film, one legit(ish) film, and one campier film - with their release dates spread out nicely to keep it extra fresh. My assessment of these criteria are often based solely on the film poster and Tubi preview screenshot 😆
5. I'm watching the long ass director's cut of The Lawnmower Man because it's supposedly less terrible and features more chimp action. King hates both cuts so whatever. I'm not here to please you, Stephen.
6. I need to finish this list before October 17 for reasons so starting this asap.
