Grindhouse Clubhouse

Is it porn? Is it exploitation? It's porn. It's definitely porn. This week, we watched the 1980 art house film Beast in Space.

Japanese girl gang? Check. Flashlight knife fight? Check. Race wars? Check. Molotov cocktail sex party? Check. Good movie? Eh, we'll see. This week we were joined by our good friend Daniel Lane to watch Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter (1970).

What's great about this film? Pam Grier. What's great about life? Pam Grier. Pam Grier. Pam Grier. We fangirl over the talented Ms. Grier in this otherwise mediocre film.

Taking a break from gory slashers and half naked women, we travel to the land down under to explore the 1971 ozploitation film, Wake in Fright. Wake in Fright is heralded as a champion of the Australian new wave movement and was nominated for a Golden Palm Award at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival. Spoiler alert, duh. We highly recommend watching this film before listening to the podcast. Why? Because it's a good film.

What do you get when you cross a high power drill, a bunch of hot naked girls, and a half-assed attempt at humor? You get this week's episode of Grindhouse Podcast. In episode 2, we discuss the 1982 horror cult film, Slumber Party Massacre.
