WEIRD WEDNESDAY: A Taste of Hell (1973)
“…and Satan smiled.” That’s how this movie ends. Honestly, if Satan were sitting through this, he really would smile because he’d know he was about to get another soul who died of pure, unadulterated boredom. Released by Harry Novak’s Boxoffice International Pictures, A Taste of Hell feels like a massive identity crisis. Novak usually traffics […]

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: Sugar Cookies (1970)
The 1970s New York film scene was a magical, grimy sandbox. If you ever needed proof that the line between high art, avant-garde theater, and pure exploitation was completely non-existent back then, look no further than Theodore Gershuny’s Sugar Cookies (also known by the arguably sleazier title, Love Me My Way). Just look at the […]

Accompanying […]
Lovers Are Wet (1973)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Randy Victor Ian helps cover the Japanese roman porno beat for B&S About Movies. Director Tatsumi Kumashiro’s Lovers Are Wet is a more dramatic entry in the roman porno genre, following drifter Katsu’s (Toru Ohe) return to his hometown, where he vehemently denies who he is to those who remember him well. He […]
