Love, Revenge, Metal: Panos Cosmatos’ ‘Mandy”
For Spooky Season 2024, the Rogues review Panos Cosmatos’ 2018 masterpiece, Mandy. No shirts were ripped, but there was some talk of thews. Conan and the City of the Dead author, John C. Hocking, and Just the Axe, Ma’am’s Kevin Beckett stand-in for Logan and Deane while they chop wood together in the forest. We hope they do not run afoul of the Black Skulls.
