Library Guys GALS Go to the Movies comes at you the fourth Wednesday of every month. Join host Via Smith and Katy Hite as we discuss movies so bad they're good, and so bad they're just bad.
Welcome to a special episode of Library Gals Go to the Movies - This episode was recorded as part of our Great Geekfest, which was held virtually on October 9th. We were joined by fellow Horror Movie Fan Mandy from the Powell Branch to fight out two different horror movie brackets. You can watch the video of our recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck_5kFEISWk&t=1584s If you'd like to print out and fill in your own horror movie bracket, you can download the Best Female Director bracket or the Best Modern Final Girl Bracket. Email your winners to us at libraryguys@delawarelibrary.org.
A note on the audio - this was pulled directly from our video file, so there is some background music. Apologies if this is distracting. We also experienced some technical difficulties around minute 40 of the episode, so enjoy Mandy giving you a riveting recap. For full enjoyment, watch the video!
Share your favorite bad movie with us and we might just review your favorite one next. Happy listening!
