Just minutes after the competition began, Morange attempted to open one of his bottles of his special “Secession Cider.” What happened next was a literal volcano of cider, a spewing fountain of malternative liquid that sent nearby contestants fleeing. “I only carbonated it last night,” he says to Sullivan. “Well, that’s your problem,” he responds. “Try another one,” Heller says. “That was probably just a bad bottle...
...Santorini man - Santorini, the once vibrant island community in the Aegean north of Crete, where many centuries ago a mammoth volcano did, without question, destroy an advance civilization.

A high-octane cocktail of apocalyptic nightmare and high-school problem drama, Kim's movie has outsized teen demons, punishing stunt sequences and gaudy special effects that kept the night owls' eyes bugged open. At Midnight Madness, school's out forever...
