WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Swamp Girl (1971)
If you like your regional independent cinema soaked through with Spanish moss, country music royalty and wild plot swerves that hit you harder than a cottonmouth in a pirogue, then Donald A. Davis’s Swamp Girl is for you. Shot on location in Georgia with the official blessing of the Okefenokee Swamp Park, this oddity is […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Surf II (1984)
If it weren’t for the book Teen Movie Hell, I would never have discovered this film. I feel like my life is infinitely better for watching this movie, which surprised me every step of the way with how far it was willing to go. Every time I thought that it had reached the limit, it climbed […]

WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Supervan (1977)
This is a vansploitation movie. Yes, that’s really a genre and there are several films in it, of which I can name Blue Summer, The Van (obviously), Best Friends, C.B. Hustlers (which has Uschi Digard in it), Mag Wheels, Van Nuys Blvd. and I guess you could almost count On the Air Live with Captain Midnight. There’s a great article […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Supersonic Supergirls (1973)
I can’t find this movie anywhere, so shout-out to the incredible Temple of Schlock for all they’ve posted. The 3-D softcore film The Stewardesses became the sixth highest-grossing film of 1971 and one of the most successful independent movies of all time. More importantly, it briefly revived the format by proving 3-D could actually make […]

WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Super Fuzz (1980)
Sergio Corbucci is known for making some of the most violent spaghetti westerns ever put on screen, including Django, The Mercenary, Navajo Joe and The Great Silence. In fact, his contributions to exploitation film are so important that he received a special thanks at the end of Kill Bill Volume 2. Later in his career, he was also known for the […]
