FLASH GORDON'S

ROCKETSHIP

Wednesday, March 17 at 7pm & 8:20pm

When the planet Mongo threatens to collide with Earth, super spaceman Flash Gordon flies into action. Once he gets to the rogue planet Flash finds himself threatened by its evil ruler, Ming the Merciless – and seduced by Ming’s sexy daughter Aura. Flash’s girlfriend Dale Arden isn't happy about either of those events but if you’re a fan of classic serials you’ll love every minute. This is a feature-length compilation of the 1936 serial. Fast-paced in its original form, this edited version moves like an MTV video – and makes even less sense. So be prepared to go forward into the future of the past with Flash Gordon! (USA, 1936, 72 mins., b/w)

SHANTY TRAMP

Wednesday, March 31 at 7pm & 8:20pm

K. Gordon Murray's 1967 Exploitation. Classic, Shanty Tramp, is a sleazy slice of subversive cinema. If you've a taste for the cheap and vulgar, Shanty Tramp serves you a feast. The Shanty Tramp is the most available woman in a small, southern town. The film follows Emily - played by the pneumatically talented Lee Holland in her first and last film - to a tent revival where she successfully propositions an evangelist, to a biker bar where she picks up the leader of the pack, to an old shed that is home to an even older mattress that has served Emily well in the past and which contains more DNA than has been seen by the entire cast of CSI. Along the way and for added spice, Emily beds a young black man; not a good idea in the 1960s South. Wash your hands after watching this movie. Better yet, take a shower. Filmed on location in the sleaziest part of Florida. (USA, 1967, 72 mins., b/w)
