The New People
A TV series about plane-crash survivors on a weird island? Must be Lost, right?Well, not in 1969. Back then, it was THE NEW PEOPLE.

Cobra Woman
I saw Maria Montez's COBRA WOMAN about a year ago. But I had to buy an all-regions DVD player and order the DVD from England, since it's unavailable here. But the expense was worth it, as I think you'll agree after you watch the trailer.

Repo Chick
Remember one of the weirdest films ever made, REPO MAN? This month marks the start of filming for a sequel titled REPO CHICK. Let's hope it can live up to its predecessor.

Jesus Freak Documentary
A fascinating time capsule from 1971. Thirty minutes long, but watch at least the first five or so.

Follies of the Mad Men #46
"Dig this crazy mixed-up ice cream!" "Man, it's real cool!"
Yeah, because beatniks like Maynard G. Krebs eat a lot of ice cream!
