The Greasy Strangler (2016)

from Subversive Cinema

A story about grease, a father and son, strange genitals, and... did I say grease? Listen in as me and my returning guest, Devon, talk through this hilariously greasy flick. The feature debut of British director Jim Hosking (An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn, ABCs of Death 2) and co-written by Hosking and Toby Harvard (ABCs of Death 2), The Playlist said the film was "utterly honest, to the point of purity," and We Got This Covered called it "a perverted fever dream." If that's the case, don't wake me up! I want to live in this left-footed, grease-loving world of bullshit artists and sham disco-themed walking tours. Wouldn't you?The film tells the story of father and son duo, Big Ronnie and Big Brayden, who operate a walking tour of disco history in a nondescript town. Business is alright, but the times are getting dangerous as a deviant serial killer stalks the streets at night, strangling victims and leaving puddles of grease as the only evidence. Things get competitive for the duo when they meet Janet, a congenial woman who ensnares the Brayden's heart... and Ronnie's enormous genitals.Chockfull of strange dialogue, gross visuals, excessive prosthetic nudity, and cartoonish violence, this celluloid daymare is certain to liven up any holiday party.The film is currently widely available on streaming and discs.
