This whole thing is going to start out with me telling all you jerks and jerkettes to watch Mandy. It’s available via every VOD platform I’m aware of. It’s also in theaters in limited release. It’s brilliant. It’s a wizard-metal nightmare with breathtaking fantastical visuals on a low budget that finds the perfect platform to implement Nicolas Cage’s myriad talents in their absolutely optimal ways. YOU. NEED. TO. WATCH. THIS.
Everyone I know who has seen via their preferred VOD platform wishes they had just bought the movie rather than simply renting it. Almost everyone I know who has seen it has watched it more than once.
