American Grindhouse (2010)

If you’re reading this blog you either came for the clown porn or you’re a film fan. Either way the chances are good that you've heard the term Grindhouse, but what does it actually mean? Was it the product of a counterculture or does it pander to popular culture?
Filmmakers, stars, historians and critics offer their views. It becomes more about the films themselves, but that's okay because you'll discover some exploitation, sexploitation and blaxploitation gems.
The only downside is that, like the title states, it’s exclusively American movies under the spotlight, so there's no love for such influential figures as José Mojica Marins, Jesús Franco or Shunya Itō.
