Now THIS is how we finish off a Friday night in the Outsider Zone. Many thanks to @cauldronfilms.bsky.social for giving CONQUEST such a royal 4K release.

George Eastman was one of the great faces of Italian genre cinema from the late ‘60s through the ‘80s. He has passed away, but leaves behind a string of commanding performances in some of the wildest cult films Italy ever produced. I wrote a tribute at Schlockmania Facebook.

I’m thinking of George Eastman today. He was one of the Titans of Italian genre film during the 70s and 80s and us veterans of the Outsider Zone know his work well. I encourage you to remember him by watching one of his most entertaining performances: Kurt Karnak in ENDGAME. youtu.be/LdvC8kY1H5A?...

Laura Gemser starred in the wildest, most lurid movies Italy produced as the 70s gave way to the 80s… but she always exuded, cool, elegance, and a quiet strength. At Schlockmania, she is queen. #FilmSky #MovieSky #Schlockmania 🎬 #eurocult

I’ve never felt at home in the everyday world. It makes nonstop demands and is always testing your limits. Too often, all you get in return is weariness as you brace for the next curveball. But surrender is not an option. You've got to find a way to push forward while protecting yourself.

@cauldronfilms.bsky.social announced on Friday they will be releasing a blu-ray of SUPERSONIC MAN, a fun knock off of SUPERMAN from the director of PIECES that feels like an old comic book. Check out their new promo trailer youtu.be/CrQCk9mzi-Y?... #schlockmania #MovieSky #FilmSky #ScifiSky 🎬 🍿

Oldies radio only plays a handful of her hits today so it’s easy to forget what a gold rush of classics that Donna Summer created with producers/co-writers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Belotte in the 2nd half of the ‘70s.

Late Night Vibes: as the evening winds down in Outsider Zone, meditate on this killer frame from STARCRASH. You've got scream queen Caroline Munro in a jam right out of a Saturday morning serial, only it's tarted up with late '70s Eurodisco sexy-chic. #schlockmania #latenightvibes #scifisky 🎬📽️🍿

Ask a more mainstream film buff what the definitive Sam Peckinpah film is and you’ll probably hear THE WILD BUNCH. But the real 'heads know BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA is the true champ of that division.

You now stand at the outer reaches of Schlockmania. Is it a destination, a philosophy, an altered state of being? Yes to all of the above. The easiest way to explain things is this: you can explore the fringes of popular culture here without snark or pretension.

Disco people take note: there’s a home video set in the works that is designed just for you www.facebook.com/share/v/1CYw...
