Lost and Found: Jane

Oh, sweet, sweet Jane! Today’s curio pick is an obscure British live-action/animated hybrid which aired two series in 1982 and 1984, titled Jane and Jane in the Desert, respectively. Starring the winsome Glynis Barber as the titular Jane Gay, the series were set during World War II and based on the adult UK comic strip Jane, created by Norman Pett and … Continue reading Lost and Found: Jane →

Lost and Found: Angel

In which a Hollywood high school hooker becomes ensnared in a serial killer’s reign of terror. For my money, Angel (1984) deserves a spot on the Mount Rushmore of “hookers in danger” films that were so prevalent in the 1980s. I’ve already extolled the virtues of another masterful example of this cherished genre, Streetwalkin’ (1985), … Continue reading Lost and Found: Angel →

Lost and Found: My Wife Goes Back to School

In which Italian sex symbol Carmen Russo puts the “erotica” in “commedia erotica all'italiana.” The commedia erotica all'italiana ("sex comedy Italian style") was a highly popular genre of Italian cinema during the 1970s–1980s. To say they are an acquired taste would be an understatement. I’ve watched several over the years (usually thanks to YouTube) and they’re often … Continue reading Lost and Found: My Wife Goes Back to School →

Lost and Found: There’s Nothing Out There

Many have claimed that Rolfe Kanefsky’s 1991 horror comedy There’s Nothing Out There is the first movie to feature the now-trope of the self-aware horror-watching nerd character. Yes, years before … Continue reading Lost and Found: There’s Nothing Out There →

Lost and Found: Private Resort

In which we visit the raucous Private Resort for one last fling before summer ends. Teen sex comedy Private Resort (1985) was a late eighties cable television staple, which explains why I watched it approximately one-hundred times during those years. Those years, by the way, coincided with my junior high school years, and rarely has … Continue reading Lost and Found: Private Resort →

Lost and Found: The Lair of the White Worm

In which a ravenous Amanda Donahoe devours the English countryside. With The Lair of the White Worm, based on Bram Stoker’s novel of the same name, director Ken Russell (The Devils, Tommy, Crimes of Passion) combined some of his favorite themes into one truly bonkers horror-comedy about an ancient snake god's horny and hot-as-sin priestess (Amanda … Continue reading Lost and Found: The Lair of the White Worm →
