It’s Franco Friday, people! Buckling up because my recollection is that this is a wild one! 👀 Now watching - SHINING SEX (1975) D. Jess Franco #shiningsex #jessfranco

“That’s entertainment…” Now watching - RAGING BULL (1980) D. Martin Scorsese #ragingbull #martinscorsese

“It’s just a goddamn impossible way of life.” Now watching - THE LAST WALTZ (1978) D. Martin Scorsese #thelastwaltz #martinscorsese

“You want some advice? Stay off the junk and you’ll go far.” Now watching - NEW YORK, NEW YORK (1977) D. Martin Scorsese #newyorknewyork #martinscorsese

Mixing it up with the next title in the Eastwood queue. Now watching - FIREFOX (1982) D. Clint Eastwood #firefox #clinteastwood

“You wanna get high on Ripple?” Though she’s only in a handful of scenes, this contains one of my favorite Jodie Foster performances. Now watching - ALICE DOESN’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE (1974) D. Martin Scorsese #alicedoesntlivehereanymore #martinscorsese

FASCINATION (1979, Jean Rollin)

Up and at ‘em this Valentine’s Day by putting the final edits on my essay for UNNATURAL ACTS, Bob Chinn’s final film shot in 35mm. A noirish, mainstream thriller, it was produced in 1997, but never made it beyond a workprint cut. It remains unreleased. #bobchinn

We’re waiting for the storms to roll in and readying ourselves for a weekend that’s going to include these two gems! #fridaythe13th #mybloodyvalentine

Sunday night double bill! Now watching - LET MY PUPPETS COME / ODYSSEY: THE ULTIMATE TRIP (1976 / 1977) D. Gerard Damiano #letmypuppetscome #odysseytheultimatetrip #gerarddamiano

Referenced in WHO’S THAT KNOCKING AT MY DOOR, embedded in a scene in MEAN STREETS, and a major inspiration for TAXI DRIVER. Tonight, we’re enjoying one of John Ford’s greatest films! Now watching - THE SEARCHERS (1956) D. John Ford #thesearchers #johnford

If you appreciate vintage smut this is an obvious must. There's nowhere else preserving and releasing this type of 8mm/Super8 stuff at this level, plus if you don't support our friends at UFA Uncle Spicy may send the boys to work you over... And you have already got the Leslie Winston set, right?

Time to go collect a debt and get called a mook. Making up for my sins in the streets is tough business. Now watching - MEAN STREETS (1973) D. Martin Scorsese #meanstreets #martinscorsese

Cassavetes may have given Scorsese shit about BOXCAR BERTHA, but time has been kind to it. I’ve enjoyed this joyous slice of exploitation ever since renting it from TV World and Appliance in 9th grade. Now watching - BOXCAR BERTHA (1972) D. Martin Scorsese #boxcarbertha #martinscorsese

If you're out in So Cal in February you really MUST check out what's screening at the New Beverly. I think in these troubled times we can all agree that this is the very definition of A TON OF SMUT! And being the New Bev it'll all be on glistening, sensuous celluloid. thenewbev.com/blog/2026/01...

One of the best American films specifically about America. Now watching - BRONCO BILLY (1980) D. Clint Eastwood #broncobilly #clinteastwood

Not a NYE movie, but next up in the Welles queue! Now watching - TOUCH OF EVIL (958) D. Orson Welles #touchofevil #orsonwelles

Not at all in the same ballpark as Lucas’s masterpiece, but still a fine picture and a terrific NYE flick. Closer in quality and enjoyability to JAWS 2 than it is EXORCIST II. Now watching - MORE AMERICAN GRAFFITI (1979) D. B.W.L. Norton #moreamericangraffiti #bwlnorton

I don't think I'm going to get to see sleaze classic Don't Open Till Christmas (1984) this year, but I do want to remind you, it's ALWAYS worth the extra five.

Ultra Flesh Archives has released WILDHEART: THE LESLIE WINSTON just in time for Christmas! This package deserves the highest praise which is in the essay that can be found in the link below. Check it out!!! #wildheart #lesliewinston #ultraflesharchives apollotwin.com/2025/12/23/w...

Santa brought me an early Xmas present by way of Ultra Flesh Archives! Tomorrow, I will drop a long-form screed as to why you’re going to have to forget getting gifts for people you only kind of like so you can commit those funds to this. #lesliewinston #ultraflesharchives

“Another Santa murder!” As much a part of the season as the televised Yule log. I love this mess of a film sooooooooo much! 🎅🏻 Now watching - DON’T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS (1994) D. Edmund Purdom & Alan Birkinshaw #dontopentillchristmas #edmundpurdom #alanbirkinshaw
