TV for Hipsters

Last week Rooftop Films hosted a special screening in Gansevoort Plaza called How To New York which featured several NY Shorts (Cat Stickers Trilogy, Dollar Pizza Documentary, Troy and The Vacation) all worth looking up BTW. The highlight of the evening was the screening of the final episode of How To With John Wilson. Listen to his appreciation for Rooftop films who have always been his biggest supporter and see all the happy faces as captured in my (now past its prime) BeReal post of the evening. What an amazing NY Night!

Minx has moved to Starz this season!

Episode 202 takes place at the Bottom Dollar screening of Deep Throat! How appropriate, or is it?

This episodes makes a perfect double feature with Inside Deep Throat the 2005 documentary. You can find it on Vudu $9.99 for the R rated version or $14.99 for NC-17.

A Valentine’s Day recommendation.

For introverts, Hungarians and people looking to see all the Oscar nominees.

Possessed with sex! Bad Girls Go to Hell is the quintessential 1960s naughty by the queen of sexploitation films and John Waters’ favorite, Doris Wishman.

Are you a bad girl? Do you like bad girls? Do you know they go to hell?! Doris Wishman paved the way, along with contemporaries like Russ Meyer (Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!), to show very dirty and very violent things up on the big screen – and always with a woman in charge! In Bad Girls Go to Hell we see the rise and fall of Ellen who, after killing the man who rapes her (her building’s janitor no less), goes out on the road to escape her past…only to find herself in more sexed up situations in which she is taken advance of and manipulated. Her body may be up for grabs but will her new identity be compromised? An empowering feminist flick of the sexiest and campy sort, Bad Girls Go to Hell is amongst the cannon of sexploitation films and it’s our June NITEHAWK NAUGHTY!
