A decidedly Minneapolis sound / Prince protégée-style theme song sets the mood for this Purple Rain contemporaneous satirical exposee of the television news scene, hardcore style.  Welcome to the wonderful world of Leonard Kirtman’s Hot Flashes…

A very New Yawk-inflected sub-Bobby Darin lounge singer (Jack Stern) croons over the credits as the always lovely Leslie Bovee saunters across a busy city street, 70’s style.  Think anything from the omnipresent Jennifer O’Neill print and television ads of the era to That Girl, Rhoda and that neverending Virginia Slims campaign – you’ll get the idea.

Everyone’s favorite Native American adult film star adapts Chaucer’s high school English classroom standby into a reasonably big budget hardcore costume epic.

Vinegar Syndrome continues to work their way through the Carlos Tobalina library with four more minimally budgeted, cocktail napkin-scripted efforts from the amusing, seemingly likeable if decidedly workmanlike adult film impresario.

Next up we have a pair of Carlos Tobalina efforts, which take things one step further from Prisoner of Pleasure to feature a front and center Mai Lin aided and abetted once again by frequent costar Jade Wong.

It’s yet another unusual August where the expected oppressive heat and humidity are nowhere to be found, in favor of a cool, September style briskness.

Similarly, Vinegar Syndrome delivers a rather mixed bag of pristine prints of quite variable in value offerings from the height of hardcore’s moment in the mainstream – cool where they should be hot, more curious than carnal.  Three are actually pretty decent views…the other three, utter wastes of celluloid.  Let’s take a look, shall we?

It’s that time of month once again, and June’s adult double bill from the mighty Vinegar Syndrome features two films directed by John Hayes, also known for his Something Weird style oddities Dream No Evil, Fandango and Jailbait Babysitter.

Now, without question, Hayes is probably most (in)famous for the entertaining hippie-zombie film Garden of the Dead and the weird but quite enjoyable Michael Pataki horror Grave of the Vampire.  But like more than a few exploitation filmmakers of the era, he had a brief second career in adult film as “Howard Perkins”.

And at least one of them’s a real doozy.

After sitting through that last gem in the rather large number of Vinegar Syndrome releases this month, I felt it was time to reward myself by watching something that might actually have a good chance at being entertaining (seriously…sheesh!)

So regular Third Eye readers out there know exactly where I was going to head next.
