DRUNK CINEMA 070: "Ed Wood" Is Up!

 
"Home? I have no home. Hunted... despised... living like an animal. The jungle is my home! But I will show the world that I can be its master. I shall perfect my own race of people... a race of atomic supermen that will conquer the world!"
-- Bela Lugosi, Ed Wood
