In Praise of Introductions



Welcome to another blog about exploitation cinema. . .  If you are still with us at this point, I'd like to give you the lowdown on IN PRAISE OF EXPLOITATION.  First off, a promise, IPOE is not here to feature the same old flicks that have been covered ad nauseam.  The vast majority of the movies that will be featured have never had any analysis or even a mention by any other blogs, fanzines, podcasts, documentaries or suicide notes.  IPOE was conceived to introduce fans of genre films to the undiscovered gems and even the unearthed turds from the wide, wild world of cult cinema: Horror, Sword-and-Sandal, Spaghetti Western, Disaster, Giallo, Women in Prison, Kung Fu, Sexploitation, Outlaw Biker, Blaxploitation, Mondo Films, Nazisploitation and even some porn. . .  Actually, a lot of porn.  

In addition to featuring scintillating plot synopsis, garish movie posters and other advertising ballyhoo.  IPOE will also feature biographies on, and interviews with, the talented filmmakers and thespians, who worked in front of and behind the camera to create these movies (Be on the lookout for a particularly scandalous interview with a Craft service worker in the near future) . . .  An inordinately, unhealthy amount of porn.  

IPOE has assembled contributors from all over the globe.  All of which are experts in their chosen and forced at gun point fields.  

Our staff includes the top plot synopsis man in the business, a graduate of the Barbizon School of Synopsis and three-time winner of the Sheldon J. Thalberg Tin Acorn Award for greatness in the art of film plot condensation.

We are also proud to have the preeminent historian of Filipino "Robot Boy" movies.

The latest addition to our team specializes in chronicling the history of "Demented Dwarf" films.  He himself is 6'5- with not an unhinged bone in his ample frame. 

Finally, a word of warning. . . The majority of the films that will be featured in IPOE do contain references of extreme violence and lurid sexual situations that some may find offensive.  If you are one such person, we advise you to leave the blog at once and do not tread further.

And Awa a ay We Go!
