Hi. Paul quit, so we're stuck with me for the Week in Sleaze from now on. Expect less Kung Fu and more boobs. Thank you.Screwballs (Severin)In 1983, Canuxploitation legend Rafal Zielinski unloosed Screwballs upon the world, and I'm not sure we've recovered yet. You can have your Porky's or your Fast Times, but for my money, Screwballs is the penultimate 80's boner comedy, a slap-happy orgy of pratfalls and pulchritude toplined by the unforgettable Linda "Bootsy Goodhead" Shayne.Screwballs languished in the VHS ghetto for decades, but the fine folks at Severin have seen fit to finally give it the royal treatment it so richly deserves. Rife with extras and available in both standard-def and Blu-Ray (!), Screwballs is this week's must-have.Read our review of Screwballs here!Clips? We got clips!Interview with co-writers/star Jim Wynorski and Linda Shayne:Interview with the immortal Rafal Zielinski! Babes in the Woods (Microcinema)I dunno what's going on with this one. Looks like an obscure nudie-cutie. Here's what Netflix says: "Travel back to 1962 and enjoy three beautiful babes as they shed their inhibitions -- along with their clothing -- when they leave the city behind and go camping in this kitsch classic with narration that mimics the educational films of the era. The girls unwittingly entice a gas station attendant, an American Indian and a pun-loving spirit, then continue their sexy escapades by bathing in a waterfall together."Sounds good to me. By the way, check out the hilariously low-tech cover. How awesome is that?Adventureland (Mirimax)Well, if you haven't seen it yet, I guess today's the day. If you're expecting the next Superbad (the Superbad dude directed it), than you are out of luck, because this one is more of a Nyquil-enhanced snapshot of the summer of '87. In that respect, it's dead-on. I was there. It was sorta boring, but at least there were pretty girls. The summer of 1987, I mean. But also the movie.Sex Pot (Asylum)So, Asylum - the "mockbuster" production company that releases low-budget, straight-to-DVD rip-offs of already ridiculous movies (Snakes on a Train!) present us this week with an original vision: a drug-soaked teen sex comedy. Says Netflix: "From the studio synonymous with good taste, the Asylum, comes this raunchy comedy about two wannabe Don Juans who have no luck with the ladies. That is, until the pair happens upon a stash of pot that the honeys find an irresistible turn-on. If breast-baring babes and killer weed are among your interests, then this sex- and smoke-filled romp is the film for you. "Yes, you're correct, this does sound like the worst movie ever. And yes, you are also correct, we'll be reviewing it soon.Did I mention that it's in 3D?Click here to see the trailer.Bare-Naked Survivor Again (Indican)So, this is happening again? OK. I've got the first one on VHS. It's got Aria Giovanni, Julie K Smith, all the usual booby girls running around on an island doing whatever. At the time, Survivor was a new concept, so it was a timely sorta parody. Now? Well, Bigfoot and Elvis are in this one, so that's something. Same cast returns for the second go-round, so if you like your titties pushing 35, you're in luck!Sunshine Cleaning (Anchor Bay)It's kind of a dramedy, really, but it's got Emily Blunt as the mean/depressed sister, and I don't know about you, but to me, there's nothing hotter than mean/depressed girls, especially when they look like Emily Blunt. Know what I mean?Boot Camp (MGM)This one's been shelved for two years, which means that it's probably a clunker, but the description makes it sound lively enough: "Packed off to Camp Serenity on a remote Fiji isle, teenage rebel Sophie Bauer (Mila Kunis) and a host of other troubled kids soon find themselves brutalized by the unhinged Dr. Norman Hail (Peter Stormare) and his sadistic staff in this taut thriller. Electronic ankle cuffs and the surrounding ocean make escape impossible from the youngsters' hell in paradise -- until Sophie's boyfriend (Gregory Smith), who's back in the States, gets involved."It's unrated, too. Does that mean we get a shot of Mila's mams? Dunno. Let's all waste $26.98 SRP (!) to find out.Californication Season 2 (Showtime)David Duchovny returns as a whore bangin', chain smokin', whiskey swillin' ne'er do well writer with problems. I mean, problems beside the whores, smokes, and whiskey. Consistently funny show, especially when you consider that this is pretty much exactly what Duchovny's life is like anyway.Samurai Bikini SquadIt's either awesome or lame. You tell me. Here's what Netflix says:Inspired by the video game phenomenon, this live-action epic follows Aya, a sexy antihero clad in only a bikini and a cowboy hat. In a not-too-distant future in which the world copes with ravenous zombies, Aya makes time for a personal mission. Between decapitations of the ubiquitous undead, Aya and her sidekicks, Katsuji and Reika, search for Aya's father's killer, for whom Aya has planned a special form of revenge.- Ken McIntyreGot something you want us to watch?
