Lizzie Borden’s #WorkingGirls (1986) still packs one hell of a commentary punch on sex work and labor in general. Funny, natural, heartbreaking and human. #Watching #CriterionChannel

I don’t know about you guys, but watching Linda Blair lead a cool and goofy pack of working class 80s ladies by day and one-woman Teen Rambo rampage by night is my idea of a cozy Sunday afternoon. #SavageStreets #Watching #Movies #Grindhouse

Echoing everything from CARNIVAL OF SOULS to Mario Bava’s KILL, BABY… KILL!, MESSIAH OF EVIL is a swirling vortex of Lovecraftian terror, analog synth attacks and grisly bloodshed from the team who’d later make HOWARD THE DUCK.

Screens 9/26 & 9/27 at midnite at Williamsburg

Hmm in retrospect maybe killing all of those people and burying them in a mass grave and putting a church on top of it was a dumb idea #TheLastDrivein #MutantFam #TheChurch

Glad @therealjoebob123.bsky.social pivoted to the complexities of tipping. Not tipping isn’t necessarily the answer. The Tarantino principle, as much as I love Quentin, is kind of bullshit. #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam
