Kiss My Grits (1982)
No. This movie isn’t about an aspiring singer working in an Arizona greasy spoon starring actress Polly Holliday spoutin’ her “kiss my grits” catch phase—that’s the 1976 to 1985 CBS-TV series, Alice.

Mudhoney (1965)
Mudhoney is based on Raymond Friday Locke’s novel Streets Paved With Gold and it’s probably the most serious of any Russ Meyer film I’ve ever seen.

Based on a story by AIP story editor Larry Gordon and the first draft was by James Gordon White. It was eventually rewritten in ten […]
