Happy Birthday in badass heaven, Roy Scheider!


November 10th, 2026 would have been Roy Scheider’s 94th birthday. If you ever want a badass double-feature with two of the best car chases in movie history, pair up THE SEVEN-UPS and THE STONE KILLER. Both movies came out in 1973!

See THE SEVEN-UPS car chase below. It’s my favorite of all time!

Monday Live Tweet Alert: Join Us for The Seven-Ups!


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 1973’s The Seven-Ups!

If you want to join this watch party, just hop onto Mastodon, pull up The Seven-Ups on YouTube, start the movie at 8 pm et, and use the #MondayActionMovie hashtag!

Enjoy!
