Junesploitation 2021: Special Cop in Action (1976)
June 27: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is cops. I am a conundrum. I speak up against the brutality and the militarization of our police nearly every day, but then the movies I choose to relax and watch are poliziottesco films in which cops go against the system and […]

Norman J. Warren Week: Loving Feeling (1968)
At one point, this Norman J. Warren’s was rated X. Today, it plays uncut on YouTube. Such is the changing of the tides. Just listen to that song that opens this up! You know instantly it’s the end of the 60s and you’re about to watch something romantic. Or dirty. Probably both. This is the […]
Junesploitation 2021: Midnight (1989)
June 26: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is 80s horror. Midnight (Lynn Redgrave) is a horror hostess who wears low-cut outfits, makes bad puns before the movies she shows and looks like an undead mistress of, well, the night. Pretty much exactly like Elvira, which seems weird, because they […]
