    Cultpix Radio Ep.42 - Thanks for the Mammaries, Uschi Digard

    Cultpix Radio Ep.42 - Thanks for the Mammaries, Uschi Digard

    Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler thank the early VIP members of Cultpix, over 90% of whom renewed their membership a year after launch. Truly a cult!

    Looking ahead there is HD films from Echelon, Hungarian Film Institute (wacky!) and Ukraine. More deals to be signed at the Cannes Film Festival this month, plus a bit announcement. And Night of the Living Dead at Bio Aspen in Stockholm 15 May.

    The Uschi Digard double Theme Week has just concluded, even though we have barely scratched the surface of her voluminous output. Thanks to the Rialto Report interview with Uschi, Smut Peddler finds that online sources claiming that she is Swedish and went to Catholic nun school in Sweden are all fake.

    Uschi is actually Swiss - and that's not all we uncover, as we work our way through a selection of her early filmography in chronological order:

    The Scavengers (1969) -  First film where Uschi Digard has a credit in a feature film. Lee Frost directed this western roughie with whippings and nudity.

    Getting Into Heaven (1970) -  Sex-lite comedy best described as frothy and frolicsome except that the women in this picture are naked and having simulated sex with deformed looking men.

    Oddly Coupled (1970) -  Shy photo nerd kidnapped by carload of pretty girls, but prefers fish instead of women. Original title: Betta Betta in the Wall, Who’s the Fattest Fish of All?

    Private Arrangement (1970) - The Playpen cruise is actually an orgiastic yacht party. But when a member turns up dead it becomes a whodunnit-with-boobs.   

    Sandra, the Making of a Woman (1970) - Small-town girl relocates to LA where she moves in with Uschi, who promptly makes a move on her. 

    Coed Dorm (1971) - Semi-musical nudie comedy with Uschi a member of The Farouk U All-Girl Topless Tabernacle Choir.

    A Touch of Sweden (1971) - Uschi uses her best (fake) Swedish äccent tö tell störies öf sexuål ädventures. 

    Skin Flick Madness (1970s) - Loop of Uschi in a grindhouse cinema 'inspires' couple watching to get frisky. 

    Hawaiian Split (1971) - Say Aloha to drugs, violence and nudity. Rene Bond co-stars in this with Uschi as "bimbo". 

    The Big Snatch (1971) - Uschi and four other women kidnapped by lowlifes in this mean and nasty ultra-sexy roughie.

    The Goddaughter (1972) -  Uschi murders a man by smothering his face in her tits; it's not even the strangest murder method. Vagina firing bullets, anyone?

    The Black Alley Cats (1972) - Black & white female vigilante gang in cool leather jackets.   

    The Secret Dreams of Mona Q (1977) - The film the Troma Kaufmann brothers deny ever making! (Liars.)

    And of course there's a Uschi Spotify playlist

    36: I Can't Solidly Say This is About Butts

    36: I Can't Solidly Say This is About Butts

    127 Hours with a Film Kid: Brooke breaks down the people who have recently chosen violence & chaos on the internet: A fake promotional twitter account, Aaron Sorkin, and believing that giving an in depth interview on how you aren't offensive, just "silly" would come off in your favor.

    Sam Harpoon's Twitter account

    Jeremy Strong's New Yorker Profile 

    Jeff Garlin's Vanity Fair interview

    Eyes Wide Shut: In a film that's apparently undoubtedly a Christmas film, we discuss the film kids' disappointment at lack of porn, the worst behavior of a plus one, and one man's need to constantly prove that he's a doctor.  

    Starry Eyes: Lindsey tells the least fun fact quite possibly ever, causing Brooke to want to quit the podcast. Before that, they manage to discuss the Potato Hooters, and the weird cult like obsession of Chuck Palahniuk.

    Cultpix Radio Ep.30 - Cultmas (b)advent 3: Tragic Mulattos, Toxic Zombies, Jokers and French Vintage Erotica

    Cultpix Radio Ep.30 - Cultmas (b)advent 3: Tragic Mulattos, Toxic Zombies, Jokers and French Vintage Erotica

    In the last Cultpix Radio WCPX 66.6 episode of 2021 Django Nudo and Smut Peddler celebrate making it through the year and having done something of Cultpix - but 2022 will be a bigger year. You get a little preview of the Sueden Poruno film that screened for the first time in Europe on Monday 20 December, with more to come in 2022. 

    The Cultmas (b)advent concludes with the Lovable Eight:

    #17 "Toxic Zombies" (1980). Feast on this UK video nasty. Dirty politicians spray weed plantations with poisonous chemicals and turn hippies into blood feasters. The movie that kicked off the redneck zombie sub-genre.

    #18 "I Passed for White" (1960). Passing off as white when you have African heritage? Lots of films baaed on the 'tragic mulatto trope' have been made, from "Imitation of Life" to "The Human Stain". This one amps it up considerably. 

    #19 "Color Correct My Cock Can F**k Off" (2017). Crazy Canadian cult compilation. The intro to the sequel finds our hosts luxuriating in the heart-shaped bubble bath of a tacky motor inn with hourly room rates. Then it throws strange things at you at whiplash speed, often not even warning you to “Think fast!” a split-second before your retinas are exposed to... everything.

    #20 "The Redeemer: Son of Satan!" (1978). Aka "Class Reunion Massacre". More giallo than slasher, but with a scary clown. Six people who have come to their old high school for a reunion find themselves trapped and killed off one by one by a mysterious killer known as The Redeemer.

    #21 "Sharon" (1977). Porn comedy about a young country girl who has sexual adventures with pretty much everyone she encounters: friends, relatives and complete strangers she's just met. Proudly shot on location in Atlanta, Georgia (mostly).

    #22 "Vintage French Erotica vol. 1" (1902-1950).  So you thought today's erotic stuff on the Internet is daring? Think again! The French had already invented all sexual variations by circa 1910! Here's a compilation of kinky French smut from the silent era, where nothing is left to the imagination! A mix of stag movies from 1902 and onward...

    #23 "Joker Face" (1984). Peter Wester (cinematographer on I am Curious – Yellow) directed this one-hour film starring popular Swedish comedian Magnus Härenstam. It consists of separate sketches, each with a different plot. ABBA-Frida shows a great flair for comedy in a small role. Härenstam also played the teacher in ABBA's video for When I Kissed the Teacher.

    #24-25 "Retro Christmas Classics Vol. 1" (1940-1960). Celebrate Jesus' birthday the way it was intended - with greedy kids clamouring for toys, creepy guys in bad Santa suits and K Gordon Murray's legendary Santa Claus (1960). Films from the 1940’s through the 1960’s from our friends at Something Weird Video. 

    #25 "Retro Christmas Classics Vol 2" (1940-1960) Ring in the holidays with nostalgic Christmas-themed theatre intermissions, weird cartoons, creepy stop-motion animation and Liberace! These classics are sure to delight and disturb! Starring Rosemary Clooney, Liberace

    Eat, drink and be merry this holiday, because more wonderful and weird films coming your way in 2022, as well as Season 3 of Cultpix Radio WCPX 66.6. Merry, merry! 

    - Smut Peddler and Django Nudo.

    100: Think she goes all the way? | Cherry Falls (2000)

    100: Think she goes all the way? | Cherry Falls (2000)

    Again, another film I had no idea existed until literally WEEKS ago. Both me and Charles give our first time fresh high level thoughts about Cherry Falls that literally gets better with each watch. Of course who doesn't want to see a slasher film in the mountains of Virginia where virgins are the target. I mean... 

    In this episode we talk the SUPER weird relationship between Jody and her "dad", the ridiculousness of the story at every turn, and continue to ask the hard questions. Like: what in the actual fuck is going on? 

    Off topic rants include: our love of celeb gossip podcasts, whether or not I should start a HateWatch series of movies I hate, and the fascinating genre of the 80s and 90s TV movie.

    Attack The Block

    Attack The Block

    Izzi's Pick!

    David and Izzi talk aliens.

    This week's episode marks the first episode of Season 2 where the TML Duo discuss the Sci-fi cult classic, Attack The Block. In this episode, David and Izzi discuss the major stepping stones this movie caused for many of it's cast and crew, including Star Wars' own, John Boyega.  The Duo continue their conservation on what makes a movie a cult classic, especially since this movie was made only a few years ago.

    "Even if it is an alien invasion, they're four foot high, blind and got kicked to death by a bunch of kids. We got nothing to worry about."- Ron

    Cultpix Radio Ep.8 - Slasher Movies, A.I. Porn Restoration and Nordisk News

    Cultpix Radio Ep.8 - Slasher Movies, A.I. Porn Restoration and Nordisk News

    In the eight episode of Cultpix Radio WCPX 66.6 we count down one week left of VIP only membership, so join now while it is still cheaper, before the site opens to everyone.  We discuss what developments you will see on the site in Phase 2 (Chromecast support tops the list); lots of films and TV shows coming to Cultpix after we completed a bunch of transfers from Digibeta; restorations and films delivered to us by the Swedish Film Institute (SFI) and the British Film Institute (BFI), as well as Nikkatsu starting restoration of our secret project.

    The use of A.I. and machine learning (ML) for restoring, up-converting, colorizing and enhancing footage that is over 100 years old captures our attention  as one of the leading online adult sites makes its AI watch 100,000 hours of porn to learn how to do it - hopefully not going blind or getting hairy palms in the process. So which of our own films would we consider for this treatment? Grandma will never have looked so good in the buff!

    Bernard Hermann's strings announce our Theme Week look at Slasher Killers. What was spawned by Hitchcock's Psycho and Powell's Peeping Tom had an interesting pre-history of all the tropes of a classic slasher film being pioneered earlier, as well as early examples of the genre like Coppola's Dementia 13. Andy Milligan’s The Ghastly Ones, a.k.a. Blood Rites (1968) pointed the way with its low budget, single location, excess gore is interesting in being a period slasher film. In The Horrible House on the Hill (1974) the slashers are kids, while Drive-In Massacre (1976) have some of the fattest cops you've seen in a horror film. Killer Workout / Aerobicide (1987) is such a by-the-numbers slasher that of course it has a shower scene, but at least a novel deadly instrument (oversized safety pin). Six teenagers, a weekend by a lake, one bloodthirsty maniac all makes it a Blood Lake (1987). Lastly Effects (1979) is a very meta slasher film as the film crew discusses viewers' appetite for seeing grissly scenes on film.

    New films this week include two from the Nordisk Tonefilm archive, with almost 50 films that we will be sharing on Cultpix in the coming months, which we also hope to make English subtitles available for. The Starlost is the 'lost' Canadian television series that could have become the new Star Trek if it had not been cancelled early. Finally New Faces (1954) sees Mel Brooks trying out ideas that would later come back in The Producers, while Eartha Kitt sings MONOTONOUS:

    Everyone gets into a dull routine
    If they don't get a chance to change the scene
    I could not be wearier
    Life could not be drearier
    If I lived in Siberia
    I'll tell ya what I mean

    I met a rather amusing fool
    While on my way to Istanbul
    He bought me the Black Sea for my swimming pool
    Monotonous...



    Cultpix Radio Ep.5 - Nazisploitation and celebrating one month

    Cultpix Radio Ep.5 - Nazisploitation and celebrating one month

    Cultpix has now been going for one month and we look back on what feel more like six months of intense work to make the world's leading streaming service for classical cult and genre films everything its members expect it to be.

    As we also celebrate VE Day and 86 years since the end of WW2, we look at all things Nazi on the big screen (and almost manage to avoid doing silly German accents), for our weekly film theme.

    We look at documentaries by and about Nazi's, including Leni Riefenstahl's notorious Triumph of the Will / Triumph des Willens (1935) and why the father of the founder of Synapse Films that we licensed it from, who was himself a Holocaust survivor, deemed it important to release the film, saying, "Jerry, you MUST release the film, lest we forget." To balance it we also stream the Nazi Concentration Camps (1945) documentary shown at the Nurnberg War Crimes Trials and discuss Alfred Hitchcock and Billy Wilder's involvement in concentration camp documentaries.

    We then look at US exploitation films made during the war, including Bela Lugosi's Black Dragons (1942), which pre-dates The Manchurian Candidate in its plot; Hitler - Dead or Alive (1942), where a gang of ex-bounty hunters go to Germany to catch Hitler, for one million dollars; and Enemy of Women (1944), which charts the fall and rise of Joseph Goebbels, a weakling harassing women, who went from failed play writer to Propaganda Minister of the Third Reich.

    This is followed by the first of the so-called Nazisploitations films that proliferated in the 1970s and 80s. Love Camp 7 (1969), in which two American Lieutenants with photographic memories and big breasts, volunteer to infiltrate Love Camp 7, a women's POW camp in Nazi Germany.  We chart how this led to the rise of the Nazisploitation genre in USA and Italy and films such as Ilsa She Wolf of the SS and its many sequels.

    Finally, there is the bastar offspring of the Nazisploitation that take things to a whole new ridiculous level with Black Gestapo (1975), a crazed blaxplo-nazisploitation film that seeks to equate the Black Panther movement with the Nazis. There is also SS Operation Wolfcub (1983), a legendary US porn star (Harry Reams) in an erotic director’s film (Joe Sarno), with no sex! What were they thinking? Slap 'Nazi' or 'SS' on anything to make it instantly appealing as showcasing the ultimate of evils.

    To end on a high note we conclude with Schichlegruber - Doing the Lambeth Walk, a 1942 two-minute propaganda film by Charles A. Ridley of the UK Ministry of Information. It remixes Triumph of the Will to a song the Nazis hated and went viral during the war. Watch the "Gestapo Hep-Cats" goose-stepping in the style of Ministry of Silly Walks and Hitler made to look ridiculous. See the full video here:  Lambeth Walk: Nazi Style - by Charles A. Ridley (1941)



     

    Past Potential Pick - Fletch
