Tune In Tuesday: Rush Week (1989)

Tired of the bland assignments at her college paper, Toni Daniels (Pamela Ludwig) found much more newsworthy the recent disappearance of three gorgeous co-eds-and the school administration's silence about same. As she digs, however, she'll incur the wrath of the old-man-masked murderer responsible, and who's not interested in getting any press.

A light on slashing but still teeming with end of the 80s charm, some might be put off by the frat hijinks but the conclusion really packs a punch.A commentary By The hysteria continues podcast is the jewel in the crown. 

Fucked Up 90s: 1991: Ruben and Ed and My Own Private Idaho

Perhaps the ultimate in early 90s weirdness, I first saw this on VHS in  the early 10s. A lampoon on sales seminars,  frozen cat burials, and Crispin glover as Ruben. Check out the infamous letterman appearance,  years before the movie even came out.

A kind of 90s  Oliver twist with the young men being sex workers and there trash God fagin a bum named Joe. Has that overfried gen X mentality of not being able to care nor wanting too.

Saturday Matinee

Savage Satire Lampooning of Aristocracy featuring  false idols, Personality disorder,  songs, Jesus,  Jack The Ripper and Peter O'toole

Nothing else quite like this movie, at once early 70s on the street document filmmaking and odd fable, nods to rear window and stands alongside the landlord as early 70s example of middle and lower class relations in the city.

Sick sick 70s Sunday Roy Scheider/ William Friedkin Double Feature

Imagine the opening scenes of the exorcist for two hours.. A total Dad Movie.

The NYC documentary style of the early 70s flick is on full display here. Scheider and  Hackman write the book here on inner city cop performance on screen. 

Rock N Roll Movies session 1

For The month of December,I am doing sets of "rock and roll movies. 

Rock All Night (1957) directed by Roger corman

The Forgotten film in the trilogy of 1950s dick Miller roles directed by Roger corman. The others are of course  little shop of horrors and A bucket of Blood. This one is like a 1 set, 1 act play, a psychodrama disguised as a teen Rock n roll picture.  At barely over an hour, it features 50s Rock and roll, a send up of beat culture and a arresting performance by Dick Miller as the American version of England's "angry young man". Very much worth your time. On Tubi free with ads.

Rock And Roll High School Forever  (1991)

As much as I love the OG rock and roll high school,  something about this early 90s Corey Feldman starring straight to video affair hypnotizes, fascinates. A daughter of a witch whose eating habits include jello and fat from steak,  a teenage Rock and roll combo led by Corey Feldman, appliance worship,.About 10 times better than it needed to be and smarter than your average art house title.
