by Jim Morazzini

Stars: Deiondre Teagle, Faith Monique, Travis Cutner, Brad Belemjian, Scot Scurlock | Written and Directed by Charlie Steeds Death Ranch sees writer/director Charlie Steeds (The Barge People, An English Haunting) mixing blaxploitation films with grindhouse horror and, at times, healthy doses of black humour.

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 3×03’ Review

by Rhys Payne

So last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK wasn’t my favourite.
