Bigfoot the Movie: The Sequel (2024)
As this was made in my hometown of Ellwood City, just like the first one, Bigfoot the Movie, I feel like I have to watch it and/or apologize for it. Chuck (Curt Wooton, who is Pittsburgh Dad around here, a social media character that people love), Dale (Nate Magill) and Burl (director Jared Show) are […]
Hijacked: Flight 285 (1986)
Directed by Charles Correll (who directed a ton of TV and was a cinematographer on movies like Star Trek III, Joy of Sex, Movie Madness, Nice Dreams, Animal House and The Dark Secret of Harvest Home) and written by David E. Peckinpah (who wrote The Paperboy and Hotline), this is the kind of made-for-TV movie that I love: one that has character […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Anguish (1987)
John Pressman (Michael Lerner) is a barely controlled diabetic who works for an eye doctor but is also going blind. And his mother, Alice (Zelda Rubinstein), is controlling him, making him kill people for their eyes. One night, he decides to escape from his mother and hide in a theater that’s showing The Lost World, […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Angels from Hell (1968)
Bruce Kessler had a wild life. A race car driver, the last person to speak to James Dean, a survivor of a racing crash that put him into a coma, a world-class skeet and trap shooter, and the director of tons of TV shows and movies (Cruise Into Terror, Deathmoon) and movies (Simon King of the […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Alvin Purple (1973)
Alvin Purple (Graeme Blundell) is a door-to-door waterbed salesman — if we’ve learned anything from cinema, it’s that “The most beautiful thing in the world is smoking pot and fucking on a waterbed, at the same time.” — who is irresistible to women. Somehow, this was made by director Tim Burstall, who was part of […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: All the Young Wives (1973)
Directed by William Diehl (who also directed The Secretary and wrote the novel that Sharky’s Machine is based on) and written by Raymond Marlowe Jr., All the Young Wives is also known as Naked Rider and You All Come. Big Jim (Gerald Richards, billed as Jerry) runs the town and all the women, too. But his much younger wife Melody (Linda Cook, […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: All the Way Down (1968)
Joe (Joe Weldon) is the man who gets the girls for a Sunset Strip go-go club. He also gets those girls for his own pleasure, as he starts the movie by taking Colette (Mary Bauer, who may have been in Lady Godiva Rides, The Divorcee and Street of a Thousand Pleasures but was also a production assistant on Sesame Street) back home […]
The Zombie Wedding (2023)
This has the Weekly World News logo on it and coming from the home of Bat Boy, I expected so much more. In fact, I expected more of everyone involved. Directed by Micah Khan and written by Greg D’Alessandro, this certainly has a good cast. Cheri Oteri, who plays the mother of the groom and […]
Sunset Strip (1985)
This is not Sunset Strip, the 1992 Flashdance ripoff. Nor is it 1993’s Girls of the Sunset Strip, which has Monique Parent in it. It is also not Richard Pryor: Live On the Sunset Strip, Glitter Goddess of the Sunset Strip, Riot On Sunset Strup, Mayor of the Sunset Strip or Shakedown On the Sunset Strip. No, this is the 1985 Sunset Strip, […]
F THIS MOVIE! Junesploitation 2025

Here are the rules, from their intro post: “This year marks our 15th year (!!!) as a site and our 12th year of Junesploitation, our annual celebration of exploitation and genre films. What started as a selfish excuse for me to […]
