For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, we’re starting with Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965), the magnum opus of renowned exploitation schlockmeister Russ Meyer (well, it’s either this or Beyond the Valley of the Dolls [1970], anyway.) A trio of strippers live as outlaw bandits in the desert, taking a girl hostage and plotting to rob an old man of his money stash. Along the way, they use their sexuality as a weapon. These chicks are dangerous, but they rock. One of the classics of 60s slop. Big influence on Tarantino. Let’s check it out.

After that is Matilda (1996), which sees Danny Devito taking the director’s chair to adapt the classic Roald Dahl story of the same name. Starring Mara Wilson (the real-life cousin of Ben Shapiro), it follows a young girl who uses her newfound psychic powers to take revenge on her abusive family and her school’s staff. Another entry in the “chicks rock” canon. This one is really popular on Letterboxd for some reason.

Last is Pokemon: The Rise of Darkrai (2007), for those who are still awake by then. Yep, we’re continuing the saga. We’re into the Sinnoh (Diamond/Pearl, aka Gen 4) arc now.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
