When I heard Chappell Roan's 'Hot to Go' I immediately thought of Kansas City Bomber, and set to work. I'd been waiting for the right track to use for this movie. Starring Raquel Welch, Helena Kallianiotes, Jodie Foster and a slew of real Roller Games stars of the day, Kansas City Bomber has all the elements of a really fun picture, but unfortunately muddies the waters with a cast of wholly unlikeable, sleazy male characters (no shade to the actors behind the portrayals -- I see it as a script issue). I took this opportunity to cut them from the film, for the most part, and focus on the action of the wonderful female cast, not to mention the wild work of Ms. Welch's fantastic stunt double, and real-life Roller Games star, Judy Arnold.

I decided to think more about cultural infatuation, rather than personal infatuation, in the context of the way we continue to fixate on Elvis Presley, and Marilyn Monroe. By pairing them in this video, I don't mean to imply that they had any type of relationship, as it is known they did not. I am using footage of both Elvis, and Marilyn together to emphasize the aspect of our culture that elevates celebrity to this type of status. So this edit can be more of a meditation on that, rather than a devotional video about a star.

I learned about Lambrini Girls' record from Fantana's recent review. Have really come to love the music. I cut this together because the energy of 'No Homo' reminded me of the fights and racing scenes from Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! by Russ Meyer. Purely energetically, and not in a homosexual way, at all.

A dedication to Christopher Reeve as my generation's Superman, with Margot Kidder as his incredible Lois Lane. When it comes to Superman, you really can't do better than Christopher Reeve, or Henry Cavill. I feel lucky to have witnessed the two greats during my lifetime.

I was noticing in my Betty Boop collection a thematic chord that reminded me of Robyn's track 'Criminal Intent.' I think the tone of that song is also really appropriate for the type of humor those wonderful old shorts featured so prominently.

"Your mother was a woman with no common sense, of course your father was a man without a conscience." Sometimes a movie comes out looking like fluff, and then you revisit it later and realize you just didn't have the taste for it yet. It's a classic with something to say. Or it's a beautiful scrapbook of a time you took for granted. Or it's just fun. In the case of Daisy von Scherler Mayer's 'Party Girl,' from 1995, its all of the above. By the end of this video, you should fully comprehend the The Dewey Decimal System. If not, please re-watch. By the way, don't you think Parker Posey is doing the proto-Carly-Rae-Jepsen pose in that cover art? The outfits in Party Girl as pretty CRJ, as well.

Music is: 'Gatto Gelato' by Alison Goldfrapp Movie is: 'The Last Romantic Lover' by Just Jaeckin, starring the incomparable Dayle Haddon. I will watch anything with Dayle. She's just amazing on screen. Starrrrrrrrrrrr. Will be very missed.

I'm new to Polyester. I've watched some of the oldest John Waters movies, like Mondo Trasho, and Multiple Maniacs, and also some new stuff like Hairspray and Cry-Baby. Knowing this one sits right at the crossroads really makes sense to me after a few concentrated viewings. I love the melodrama of Francine Fishpaw's miserable, martyred perspective. And seeing Tab Hunter free from the constraints of his early career really makes it shine, too.

Here we have Rock Hudson and Piper Laurie, in the early days of their long, incredible careers, performing in simple roles of hero and princess for an Arabian-Nights-styled swashbuckler set in a 1953 vision of Baghdad devoid of anything like accuracy or cultural sensitivity. All the same, there's that wonderful color palette, and two stars destined for much, much more. We shouldn't be mean to the film, really. It was basically a cartoon. This video is set to Ryan Beatty's song "Bruises Off the Peach" as a reference to the process of perfecting one's stardom and hiding one's imperfections at a time when Hollywood was perhaps even more about artifice than it is today.
