Pre-order is up now! Thirdly, we have a real oddity from the waning days of NYC-made exploitation sleaze, J. Chris Ingvordsen's almost unclassifiable.

Now, with all the excitement of April out of the way, don't forget to pick up our [almost] all 'deep cuts' March lineup, which includes:



Alexander Cassini's nearly unparalleled in weirdness slasher/art film, STAR TIME. If you ever dreamed that David Lynch's art director had made a social statement infused almost-horror film set in a near-apocalyptic looking Los Angeles, your fantasy is Alex Cassini's reality.



Then, two masterpieces from the LA Rebellion film movement, Jamaa Fanaka's debut features WELCOME HOME BROTHER CHARLES and EMMA MAE are freshly on Blu and restored from their negatives.



Last (but not least) is Alex deRenzy's madcap spiritual sequel, BABYFACE II. Jamie Gillis pops out of a cake. So you know you need it.



For DVDs, we have a true stunner: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE PEANUT BUTTER FREAK, presented fully uncut for the first time on home video. And, a very theatrically minded Peekarama double with GOOD GIRLS, BAD GIRLS and WOMEN AT PLAY!

They're in stock and shipping now, so don't delay! Halfway to Black Friday is just around the corner! Halfway to Black Friday = May 25th - 28th With just over two months to go until our ’trademarked‘ Halfway to Black Friday sale over Memorial Day Weekend, we're offering a taste of what May has in store, and said taste is the Blu-ray premier of Melvin Van Peebles masterpiece, SWEET SWEETBACK'S BAADASSSSS SONG. As with our previous Halfway sale, we‘ll have two exciting Blu-ray surprises; one a home grown gem of white trash nastiness, the other a surprisingly elegant portrayal of guttural sleaze.



Also...in addition to SWEETBACK and the two surprise Blu-rays, May will bring the Blu-ray debuts of a mid-80s gore-comedy and another Roger Watkins directed film (no, it's not LHoDES).
