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 →

Take a look at this PFABULOUS Michelle from Batman Returns statue set. I am gobsmacked. JND Studios absolutely nailed the likeness. I’m speechless. This is a work of art and I just own it!! Unfortunately, but understandably given the painstaking work that must’ve gone into this m, it’s astronomically expensive. Anybody want to contribute to … Continue reading Michelle Monday →
