Satan's School for Girls

Thursday Jan 18, 2024
Malleus Maleficarum! This week on Sorta Cinema, we watched 'Satan's School for Girls', an ABC 'Movie of the Week' released on September 19th, 1973. We unabashedly loved this movie, and we have a feeling you will too. It's perfectly spooky, perfectly 70's, and perfectly Sorta Cinema. So light your oil lamp, pour a goblet of wine, and settle in for this week's episode of Sorta Cinema!

Death Car on the Freeway

We're back in the 1970's! This week on Sorta Cinema, we watched the CBS Tuesday Night Movie 'Death Car on the Freeway', a 1979 mystery/thriller about a murderous rampage on the freeways of Los Angeles. What might at first glance seem like another cheesy car chase movie, turned out to be a much deeper commentary on workplace sexism, toxic masculinity, and America's relationship with cars (don't worry, there's still plenty of ridiculous car chases). So grab your driving gloves, pop in your fiddle music 8-track, and buckle up. It's time for Sorta Cinema.

The Survival of Dana

Thursday Jan 04, 2024
It's the new year! And it's the "lost episode"! We recorded this episode back in September, and were both a bit hesitant to release it into the world. But in the spitit of the new year, we decided to leave our comfort zone and send it out into the world. This week we watched 'The Survival of Dana', a CBS Tuesday Night Movie from 1979. So strap on your ice skates and hop on your dad's forklift, because it's time for Sorta Cinema!
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode does deal with the topic of domestic violence, we try not to dwell on it too much, but we thought we should let you know.

It's the end of the year! We wanted to leave you guys with one last Christmas movie to send off the holiday season with a bang! This week, we watched 2010's 'Rare Exports', a Horror/Fantasy about a mythical Santa Claus terrorizing a small village in Finland. Being that the entire film is in Finnish, we weren't able to add clips this week, but please enjoy Ryan's generic European accent as a substitute. So grab yourself a gingerbread cookie and some burnt ham, it's time for Sorta Cinema!

Happy Life Day! And Merry Christmas!
A long time ago (alright, maybe it was 1978), in a galaxy far, far away (ok fine, it was still this galaxy), the infamous 'Star Wars Holiday Special' aired to the shock and amusement of millions of eager Americans. If you've never heard about this special, allow us to introduce you to one of the most absurd pieces of television to have ever aired. George Lucas tried to kill it, but we watched it anyway. So put on your mind evaporator and strap in, it's time for Sorta Cinema.

If you've spent any length of time on the internet, you've probably come across 'Grumpy Cat', the memeable feline that rocketed to internet stardom in 2012 thanks to her perpetually "grumpy" face. But did you know that Lifetime made an entire movie starring Grumpy Cat back in 2014? And that Aubrey Plaza did her voice? Well, they did, and we watched it. So to kick off the Christmas season here at Sorta Cinema, we present 'Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever'. God help us all.
