Lost and Found: Vice Squad

We’re back with more buried treasure from the Lost and Found, and once again we’re wallowing in the supremely sleazy streets of early ‘80s downtown Los Angeles. Clearly a favorite genre of mine, nighttime-set, neo-noirs rarely let me down, and Gary Sherman’s Vice Squad (1982) is an especially rewarding example of the genre at its … Continue reading Lost and Found: Vice Squad →

Michelle Monday

In my demented mind, we’ve already been living in the spooky season forever, but for more normies, October is when their thoughts turn to thoughts of witches, goblins, full moons and whatnot. So, with October just around the corner, and because we just recently had a full harvest moon, this Monday belongs to Michelle in … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Margot Monday

It’s Monday and we all just need to look at something pretty, amirite? Well, Margot Robbie pretty much has “pretty” covered—and then some. One of these days I’ll write some more about how absurdly talented she is, how she not only acts circles around most modern actresses but also produces and slides between blockbusters and … Continue reading Margot Monday →

I’m hoping to watch one of my favorites of the sequels, The Final Chapter (1984)—which was anything but the actual final … Continue reading Happy Friday the 13th →

Lost and Found: The Swinging Barmaids

In which sexy cocktail waitresses fight for their lives against a women-hating lunatic with a murderous fixation on buxom babes. With a title like The Swinging Barmaids (1975), this sexploitation stunner sounds like it should be a lighthearted seventies sex-romp. In actually, it’s a taut and nasty little slasher/crime thriller. Written by Charles B. Griffith—of … Continue reading Lost and Found: The Swinging Barmaids →

Bad Girls We Love: Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin

She has a mind for science and a bod for sin. Dr. Pamela Isley had been doing important scientific research (funded by Wayne Enterprises) in a South American lab working towards her ultimate goal of protecting plant life from “the thoughtless ravages of man.” If only the demented Dr. Jason Woodrue hadn’t stolen her toxins … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin →
