Description

"Hey, I lost my eye for this gang, remember?" We watched "Switchblade Sisters" (1975) with our friend Ben Cheaves and we're Jezebels - remember that name! All we can say is thank you to Quentin Tarantino for breathing new life into this girl-gang expoitation masterpiece. We can see how this one could have easily fallen into obscurity, but Tarantino's re-release in 1996 kickstarted its cult status. Lace (Robbie Lee) leads the Dagger Debs - the baddest girl gang in town (maybe L.A., maybe NY, we'll never know) - and her whole world gets thrown into dissaray with the arrival of Maggie (Joanne Nail) the tough girl from the other side of town. The ensuing events are truly Shakespearan with Lace's tough as nails second in command Patch (Monica Gayle) turning in an epic performance filled with jealosy and rage. Many of the actresses were plucked from X Rated and grindhouse movies and the average age of these "high school" characters makes the cast of "Grease" look age appropriate. It adds to the charm! If you listen to our Pod then you know we're going to spend a whole lot of time breaking down exactly where these locations were in the grimy, hollowed out Los Angeles of the 1970's, cause that's how we roll. Switchblade Sister's wasn't winning any Oscars (or any other awards) but it knows exactly what it's selling and it's delivering at all times.

This is the podcast where we watch a movie from our past that had a lasting impression on our little gay lives.  If we had no business watching it - we stole our parents VHS copy and watched under the cover of night.  If a diva gave a rousing speech - we memorized it and lip-synced it at a talent show.  Join Scott and Pete each week for a look back at the Movies That Made Us Gay!
