Today’s update is a two-fer…
In the Screening Room, check out the trailer for the delightfully horrid Batman ripoff THE WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN. I’ve also republished my review of the film (which originally appeared on the former BBandBC Podcast website) in the Film Reviews section.
Enjoy! Look for another update sometime between tomorrow and Wednesday (depending on life stuff, you know.)
Today’s update is in our Screening Room. Just added, the re-release trailer for ITALIAN STALLION (1970/1976) – one of those films whose history is more interesting than the film itself. Shot softcore and released in 1970 as THE PARTY AT KITTY AND STUD’S, then re-released completely re-edited in 1976 as ITALIAN STALLION to capitalize on Sylvester Stallone’s fame. A hardcore version was released in Germany with scenes cut in from the film WHITE FIRE. Check out the trailer in our Screening Room and don’t forget more than 100 other videos can be seen on our YouTube channel! Enjoy!
