Really Awful Movies: Ep 106 – The Sinful Dwarf

The Sinful Dwarf is a raunchy 1973 Danish exploitation film available in limited edition Blu-Ray (pick it up at Severin Films https://severin-films.com/shop/the-sinful-dwarf-blu-ray/)

Dwarf Olaf lives with his boozy, aged mother, who runs both a bed & breakfast (well, more of a flophouse / rooming house) and also, in its attic, a heroin slavery ring.

Olaf does her bidding, securing women for mom’s business.

A couple in financial straits has to stay at this place until the husband finds more consistent employment (must be tough, he’s a TV writer). When he’s away on business, the missus is turned out.

Really Awful Movies: Ep 103 – Hellhole

Jacuzzi romps, lesbian nurses,evil experiments, a blackmail plot, an undercover investigation and an all-star cast of B-movie nonentities, Hellhole features the glorious gams of Mary Woronov, the champion chin of Robert Z’Dar, the not particularly great Marjoe Gortner and much much more (actually, not that much, truth be told).

Unwitting patients at an all-female mental institute are subjects of a secret experiment, taking place in the “hell hole” in question, an abandoned wing of the psychiatric hospital.

What lurks in the bowels? Who is the masked surgeon? (right) Is this a horror film? Can you ask too many rhetorical questions?

Join as we talk HELLHOLE.

 

Really Awful Movies: Ep 101 – Dolemite

You rat soup eatin’ no good honky m*tha f*cka!

We enter blaxploitation territory with the infamous Rudy Ray Moore vehicle, the boom mic heavy cult classic Dolemite.

He plays the title character, imprisoned for drug running and trading in illegal furs (!). In exchange for his freedom, Dolemite cuts a deal with a corrupt warden to go back to the streets and clean house, as his antagonist Willie Green has been taking over while Dolemite’s been rotting in the can.

Dolemite is not just a gangster but an entrepreneur and stand-up comic who owns a nightclub devoted to none other than himself. How large is an audience for a Dolemite-themed club? Inexplicably large.

Dolemite is a charming, inept mess and showcases the terribly unfunny standup of Rudy Ray Moore (may RRM RIP).
