BADass SINema Unearthed - Where we dive into the wild, weird, and wonderfully wicked world of classic grindhouse cinema. We celebrate the raw energy and unapologetic style of vintage exploitation films — from the slick swagger of Blaxploitation and the lurid allure of sexploitation to the gnarly thrills of monster mayhem and cosmic horror.

Thank you, Vinegar Syndrome, for this fun reminder of just how awesome the comedies from the 1980s were! My Chauffeur, even if we know its destination, is one heck of a joyous ride through the streets of yesteryear. Complete with non-PC cameos from Penn & Teller ...
Everybody out of the desert! Huh?! Bubbling up from the ground and spilling down canyon cliff walls, there’s a crawling brown mass of sticky ticky fist-sized monsters with fangs full of venom headed this way. These spiders are incredibly pissed off, too. First, they come ...
