B and S About Movies

I love Pittsburgh — a Rick Sebak doc will move me to tears in seconds — and I adore giallo. So together? Well, that’s like putting fries on a salad, which is pretty much Allegheny County’s major contribution to the world of cuisine. This is a list cataloging the movies that I deem to be Yinzer Giallo .

Kurt Brown, also known by some as Vandal Drummond, introduced me to so much. I look at him as the older brother I don't have and thank him for driving me all over Hollywood to show me some amazing places. He's also the executive producer and researcher of Out In the Ring , a documentary you can get from Vinegar Syndrome . In this episode, we go deep into  Skidoo but go off on several tange...

This week,  Police Academy , which gives way to the genre known -- at least by me -- as academysploitation.
