We're having an absolutely legendary Smalltember. First we covered The Legend of the Titanic , and now we're looking into The Legend of the Roller Blade Seven .

Due to the ongoing refusal of the AMPTP to negotiate in good faith with the WGA or with our union brothers and sisters in SAG/AFTRA, we've decided to hit pause on discussing more current releases, since (in our own bizarro way) it could promote that work.

This week, we're discussing 1995's Sandra Bullock techno-thriller The Net , a movie ab...
