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.
It begins on a beach. A woman is laughing. She’s seeing all the muscles on display; the men hulking out in their shorts on the beach. Lots of ogling is going on. And she starts to laugh. She sees them working out and then she sees them with blood spurting out of fresh ...
