Once again we’re back in NYC, and we have a rather big surprise in our line up: an Andy Milligan play! Yes, at the Jewel Theater we had Milligan’s SECTION 8, which may or may not have been a semi-autobiographical story about his time in the military, and his eventual ousting from it. The script for this was also included in last years reprinting of Jimmy McDonough’s “Ghastly One”, the definitive biography of Milligan. Beyond that we have fair mostly typical for 1971, and we even have a Jim Haskin film in the bunch, KIDNAPPED! at the Mini Cinema (one of the few films with Haskin’s name included in the credits).

This week we’re down in sunny Florida with a selection of Adult Film ads from the Miami Herald on February 5, 1971. And while there is a surprising number of options for the raincoat crowd, the ads for them are for the most part less than overwhelming. But hey, at least you can work on…
Gina and Olga – Bon-Bon and LaBlanche
One evening last week I was doing research on a potentially lost film from 1971, and while I was searching for ads in the New York Daily news I came across one for the 42nd Street Playhouse Burlesk (a New Era/Seymor Domoor joint) that caught my eye (as those types of ads a prone to…
THE FILTH SHOP (1969) (X) – nsfw-ish
The following is based on a recent post I made on the Something Weird Video Facebook group, which in effect is a review of the SWV release of THE FILTH SHOP (1969) and two of the other shorts on that “disk”. I’ve kept it mostly intact, although I do add some location-specific pictures and a…
