Brainscan begins a new series on a forgotten era - the grindhouse cinema. Many such films made their way into the fringes of mainstream culture:

Sweet Sweetback's Badass Song
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
Please Don't Eat My Mother
Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS
Cannibal Holocaust
I Spit on Your Grave

But for every one you have heard of, there are hundreds that have passed into oblivion, and for every one with decent production values, there are hundreds that seem to have been shot on 8mm home cameras.

Brainscan will be taking a look at some of those forgotten hundreds.
