For today’s music video of the day, we have this visually vivid work of …. what would you call it? Country gothic, perhaps?
Well, whatever you may call it …. Enjoy!

A Note To Our Readers
Hi, everyone!
As I mentioned last month, things have been difficult down here in Texas with my father’s health issues. We’re getting back on track here at the Shattered Lens but again, I want to say thank you for your patience as Erin and I get back to our usual posting routine.
Just a few administrative notes:
- Retro Television Reviews will return on September 2nd, with Miami Vice and CHiPs. The delay is because I like to write up and schedule reviews for several episodes at a time, so that way I hopefully don’t fall behind and get overwhelmed by the pressure of trying to get caught up. Again, thank you for you patience!
- As always, our annual Horrorthon starts in October!
- As for this month, it’s going to be about getting back into the swing of things and hopefully, getting caught up on some of the movies that I’ve missed over the past few months.
- Thank you for reading and commenting!
Love,
Lisa Marie

Monday Live Tweet Alert: Join Us For Silent Assassins and Jagged Edge!
As some of our regular readers undoubtedly know, I am involved in hosting a few weekly live tweets on twitter and occasionally Mastodon. I host #FridayNightFlix every Friday, I co-host #ScarySocial on Saturday, and I am one of the five hosts of Mastodon’s #MondayActionMovie! Every week, we get together. We watch a movie. We snark our way through it.
Tonight, for #MondayActionMovie, the film will be 1988’s Silent Assassins! Selected and hosted by Bunny Hero, this film stars Linda Blair and Sam Jones! So, you know it has to be good!
Following #MondayActionMovie, Brad and Sierra will be hosting the #MondayMuggers live tweet. We will be watching 1985’s Jagged Edge! The film is on Prime!
It should make for a night of fun viewing and I invite all of you to join in. If you want to join the live tweets, just hop onto Mastodon, pull up Silent Assassins on YouTube, start the movie at 8 pm et, and use the #MondayActionMovie hashtag! Then, at 10 pm et, switch over to Twitter and Prime, start Jagged Edge, and use the #MondayMuggers hashtag! The live tweet community is a friendly group and welcoming of newcomers so don’t be shy.
Music Video of the Day: Ruby Church by X (2024, dir by Brandise Danesewich)
June was a suck month and July was a tough month and August might be even tougher and suckier. But X has a new video out and Billy Zoom is standing proud. There are good things in the world, you just have to be willing to see them. I’m not giving up.
(As always, thank you for your patience and understanding!)
Enjoy!
Music Video of the Day: I’m Free by Paris Hilton, featuring Rina Sawayama (2024, dir by Brian Ziff)
After a difficult two weeks, I think I’m ready to come back. And what better way to return than with Paris Hilton, who is someone who I always try to defend as being more self-aware than she lets on, even though I kind of doubt that’s actually the case.
The video itself is exactly what you would probably expect from a Paris Hilton video. I’ll leave it to you to decide whether or not that’s a good thing.
Well, I’ve got some work to do around here, don’t I? Thank you everyone for your patience! And thank you, Case, Leonard, and Jeff, for holding down the fort while Erin and I were gone. Peace and love to us all.
Enjoy!

A Note To Our Readers
Hi, everyone.
As I’ve mentioned here before, my Dad has been very ill over the last month and a half. Today, I learned that he will be going into hospice care. Needless to say, both myself and my sister Erin are coming to terms with this news and everything that it potentially represents. As a result, there may be days when it’s a bit quiet around here on the Shattered Lens. There may be some days when the site will not feature a new music video or a new pulp cover or a Retro Television review or a film review.
That does not mean the site is going away though. It just means that, whereas we previously updated on a daily basis, we may have to go for an every other day basis for a few weeks, at least until things get worked out around here. This has been a difficult year but I love this site more than ever. Family is always going to come first but I am in no way abandoning my love of writing about pop culture.
Thank you to all of our subscribers, readers, and commenters. The Shattered Lens, and all of its writers, will still be here even if some of us do occasionally have to take a personal day!
Love,
Lisa Marie
