Episode 94: Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! featuring Ryan Myers

Friend of the show Ryan Meyers has got our panel going because they’ve brought in almost literally a bang; it’s the cult classic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!(1965). This Russ Meyer directed exploitation film sees a trio of go-go dancers off on a spree of crime and sexy situations across the California desert. It’s got violence, sex, kidnapping, drag racing, wrastlin’ and all the good stuff, yet was not positively met at the time.  It has since been reappraised (even once famously by noted feminist film critic B. Ruby Rich) and Tura Satana as Varla has entered the annals of time.  She’s basically electric and shot like a superhero: a true badass for the times and beyond.  We’re talking about the film that John Waters called “the best movie ever made”, so tune in!
