B&S About Movies podcast special episode 15: Junesploitation
This is the fifth year I’ve participated in the F This Movie! month-long event. For those of you new to Junesploitation, here’s how it works: each day of the month has its own theme, and you’re supposed to watch a movie that ties into that theme. How you interpret the connection is entirely up to […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Caged Fury (1990)
At one point in this movie, the female inmates begin to fight, and Crazy Daisy (Tiffany Million, once a GL, OW girl and later an adult star) says, “I’ve seen this in Chained Heat!” Yes, you sure did. While Cirio H. Santiago also made a movie called Caged Fury just six years earlier, this one — […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981)
William Asher was credited by many as inventing the TV sitcom. He brought Our Miss Brooks from radio to TV, directed 100 out of 179 episodes of I Love Lucy, produced and directed Bewitched (which starred his second wife Elizabeth Montgomery) and also had episodes of Make Room for Daddy, The Twilight Zone, The Patty Duke Show, Gidget, The […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Burial Ground (1981)
I’ve often said that I prefer Zombi 2 to Dawn of the Dead — at least if I am looking for a more fun movie — because it skips the political allegory and gets right to the zombie splatter that I really want to see. Burial Ground (also known as Le Notti del terrore, Nights of Terror, Zombi Horror, The […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Bummer (1973)
William Allen Castleman directed Johnny Firecloud and The Erotic Adventures of Zorro, as well as composed the music for The Swinging Cheerleaders, The Adult Version of Jekyll & Hide, the 1974 The Wrestler, The Big Bird Cage, Trader Hornee, The Ecstasies of Women, Thar She Blows!, Space Thing, Nude Django, The Lustful Turk, The Acid Eaters, Ski on the Wild Side, She Freak, The Defilers, The Devil’s Mistress, Starlet!, Trader Hornee, […]
CBS LATE MOVIE: Deathtrap (1982)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Deathtrap was on the CBS Late Movie on May 29, 1987. I definitely watched this on HBO and ten-year-old me was scandalized by the plot twist. Playwright Sidney Bruhl (Michael Caine) has another failed play and tells his wife, Myra (Dyan Cannon), that he plans on inviting over a student, Clifford Anderson (Christopher Reeve), who […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave (1976)
Originally a South Korean movie called Amelika bangmungaeg (also called Visitor of America), this was released in the U.S. by Aquarius Releasing with new dubbing, an incredibly insane poster of Bruce Lee emerging from a grave to defend a half nude woman and battle a flying bat baby as well as a new beginning filmed in the […]
Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: Acne (2000)
July 14-20 Vanity Project Week: “…it might be said that the specific remedy for vanity is laughter, and that the one failing that is essentially laughter is vanity.” Are these products of passionate and industrious independent filmmakers OR outrageous glimpses into the inner workings of self-obsessed maniacs?? Directed, written by and starring Rusty Nails, this […]
