About this listen

Welcome to this week’s wild ride as me and my returning guest, Elizabeth Teets dive headfirst into the psychedelic madness of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls—Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert’s infamous 1970 cult classic that defies categorization and good taste in equal measure.


From its candy-colored visuals to its unhinged plot twists, this film isn’t a sequel but a surreal spiritual cousin to the original Valley of the Dolls. We unpack the film’s gleeful chaos, its satirical stab at Hollywood dreams, and how it juggles sex, violence, and groovy rock with a wink and a smirk.


So crank up the Strawberry Alarm Clock, pour a martini, and prepare to say, “This is my happening and it freaks me out!”


Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan Boyle
