WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Blood Rage (1987)

WEIRD WEDNESDAY: The Black Six (1973)
Matt Cimber has pretty much lived a life—he was married to Jayne Mansfield, he created the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, and he directed movies like Butterfly, The Witch Who Came from the Sea and Hundra, amongst others.

June 23-29 Cat Week: Cats! They’re earth’s funniest creatures (sorry chimps, you’re psychos). When Klon put this challenge together, it was to get people to lighten up. I’m in a basement with no windows, working two jobs at home, never leaving, always trying to make people happy, then I cut the grass. No complaints other […]
Chattanooga Film Festival 2025 Red Eye #5: Get Crazy (1983)
Allan Arkush based most of his early films on his real life. Rock ‘n Roll High School is pretty much about going to New Jersey’s Fort Lee High School.
