If it was not for “Rollerball” (1975), CatBusRuss & ThePoeticCritic would not be. It was their parents first date. The films the two siblings grew up with did not seem to have the same kind of satirical messages and commentaries on society, so they are drawn to the intelligence that these features had to offer. These are ideas that the Disney Renascence and “Bill & Ted” just could not offer.
This decade was more about art than the blockbuster. Making a profit was the goal of inexpensive exploitation features. The separation is something we may long for when compared today’s modern cinema. Just look at “Rollerball” (2002) to understand what the Stevens Siblings think. If you have a crazy flick from this time and think that it needs more attention, send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com.

Daughters of Darkness (1971)
Lesbian vampires inspired by Elizabeth Bathory attempt to steal a newly wed wife from her increasingly abusive husband.
-
The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976)
Gregory Carl suggested a film that has a horror-worthy premise featuring a 14 year-old Jodie Foster. It is a feature that turns the seemingly defenseless adolescent premise on its head while maintaining all that 1970s creepiness in all its glory.

The Great "Wicker Man" (1973) with Luna Gray from iHorror.com
CatBusRuss & @lunagrayhorror.bsky.social discuss the most well regarded #British #horror #movies. Paganism, music, and Christopher Lee, get me a ticket to Summer Isle. Is it a musical? Is it asking you to pick religious sides?
