About this listen
Devin & James are back in the Den for another look back at the year in cinema that was 1975, this time focusing on THE EXPLOITATION FILMS of 75! This episode is not for the easily offended. We start with the blaxploitation classic BUCKTOWN, starring Fred Williamson, Pam Grier, and Thalmus Rasulala. Then we pivot to the bizarre indie WELCOME HOME, BROTHER CHARLES, featuring a murder weapon that has to be seen to be believed. (Note: Devin accidentally titles this as "Welcome Back, Brother Charles" in the film's intro. Sorry folks.) Things don't get any more sane when we check out the notorious nazisploitation film, ILSA: SHE WOLF OF THE S. S. Following that grimness, we lighten the mood with one of our own favorites, THE SWITCHBLADE SISTERS, with its strange Shakespearean overtones. We then explore two nasty little movies that are just dying to be rediscovered, the relentless POOR PRETTY EDDIE and the weird split persona of THE LOVE BUTCHER. We end things with a quick trip to Italy for the Last House on the Left-inspired NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS. Follow us, if you dare, into the grimy grindhouses of 1975!
