The Curator of Schlock #148: A Bullet for the General
The Curator of Schlock #148 by Jeff Shuster A Bullet for the General (I’d hate to be the General.) If they were to stop making movies tomorrow, I don’t know that it would matter to me. There are decades upon decades of cinema to sift through. I could probably live three lifetimes and not have… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #147: A Noose for Django
The Curator of Schlock #147 by Jeff Shuster A Noose for Django A bunch of guys get shot. The End. Yeehaw. I know I promised you, my ever so patient audience, a review of A Pistol for Ringo two weeks ago, but I’ve decided to postpone that review. As it turns out, A Pistol for… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #146: The Return of Ringo
The Curator of Schlock #146 by Jeff Shuster The Return of Ringo (I didn’t know he had left!) As I write this, the world is celebrating the 75th birthday of Ringo Starr, the most influential Beatle as Yoko Ono recently claimed as claimed by James Woodhall in his recent article for The Spectator, “Ringo’s no… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #145: A Lone and Angry Man
The Curator of Schlock #145 by Jeff Shuster A Lone and Angry Man (Aren’t we all) Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaawwwwww!!! It’s Wild West month here at The Museum of Schlock where it’s my sworn duty as Sheriff to appoint y’all my deputies in seeking out the roughest, toughest westerns Italy ever produced. That or just dig up whatever… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #144: Satan’s School for Girls
The Curator of Schlock #144 by Jeff Shuster Satan’s School for Girls (Satan has a school…and it’s for girls!) You’re a Curator of Schlock and you don’t know how you wound up in this position, doing weekly reviews for B movies, some of which wouldn’t have passed muster for USA Up All Night back when… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #133: Nude for Satan
The Curator of Schlock #133 by Jeff Shuster Nude for Satan (This movie makes less sense than Lost Highway.) So I watched Olympus Has Fallen last night. That’s the one where Gerard Butler saves the President of the United States from North Korean terrorists. I like that movie. Butler kills the terrorists, saves the United… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #132: Daughters of Satan
The Curator of Schlock #132 by Jeff Shuster Daughters of Satan Satan, leave our daughters alone! Just leave them alone! Not for nothing, but when my Blu-ray player did the whole Grace Notes thing for my Brotherhood of Satan DVD, it read the disc as The Essential Bugs Bunny Volume 1. I guess that’s… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #131: The Brotherhood of Satan
The Curator of Schlock #131 by Jeff Shuster The Brotherhood of Satan Not a brotherhood I’d like to belong to. Not one bit. It’s time for another Satan Awareness Month here at the Museum of Schlock, that time of year where I get serious and try to warn the public of the dangers of associating… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #130: The Pyjama Girl Case
The Curator of Schlock #130 by Jeffrey Shuster The Pyjama Girl Case (It’s spelled pajama, guys!) I heard a gentleman on a podcast once refer to the giallo genre as “pretty close to terrible.” That’s a little unfair. There’ve been some brilliant giallos like Dario Argento’s Deep Red or his animal trilogy or Tenebre, but then, alas, we… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #129: The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion
The Curator of Schlock #129 by Jeff Shuster The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion (I don’t know if that’s the greatest movie title ever or the worst) We’ve got another Ennio Morricone soundtrack. This man is the unseen hero of the Giallo genre. It’s like these scores are half swinging 60s, half slasher… Continue reading
