Visit My eBay Store →I'm Steve Uchrin—a writer, collector, and self-proclaimed dork with a deep love for movies most people have forgotten (or never knew existed). I write the "Wait! Have You Not Seen..." column for Dork Court, where I dig up underrated, overlooked, and gloriously weird films and make the case for why you need to watch them immediately.
When I'm not writing about movies, I'm selling off parts of my collection on eBay, being a dad to two girls who couldn't care less about my movie opinions, and adding to my ever-growing 10+ terabyte library of flicks.
