Liszt’s Rhapsody
The Composer Collection A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay There’s a great typo on IMDB in the synopsis for this film. His fork is transformed!?! Oh no! How will he eat!?! Hilarious. Obviously it was supposed to say work but now I’m interested in Franz Liszt’s silverware! When is someone going…

“Life in the Wild: Volume 2”
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay And now you begin to see the depth of my compulsion. If I haven’t seen it, I watch it. Somehow I ended up with this nature documentary on vhs sans volumes 1 and 3 and however many other installations there may be. Research detected at…
