3) With an endorsement from Kate Micucci and this review, Re-Animator the Musical, might be something to catch at the Steve Allen Theater soon. It may not be the Human Centipede musical, but why the f*$# would you want to see that?
4) “All awards shows are bullshit made up clubs where people decide to give each other prizes.
