Quality Trash
She goes for cinematic pulp
And will accept no family fare
Gratuitous sex and broken necks
Forget the plot and common sense
Just bring on the cheapest thrills
Blood will flow while semen spills
She watches the uncut DVD
The harder sex of lesser stars
Some just in it for the kick
Others for an easy buck
It may well be filmic sleaze
Or maybe some cathartic art
The lowest lows and highest highs
But, what the hell, it satisfies.

Author's Note
I love cult movies filmed on a low budget, the kind that used to be almost tailor-made for drive-ins and grindhouses. They don't make them like "Faster, Pussycat, Kill! Kill!" anymore.

Ohh they sure don’t, and prolly never will, hoo wee! I saw that flick once, epic dumpster fodder, but I admit it was fun!
And so’s this trippy tribute in rhyme, and headed for my 💁🏻♀️Reading List’s bargain bin!
“Tiger’s Voo Doo Doll, Stab! Stab!”

Love that quote! Some of these films are bottom-of-the-barrel but tops when it comes to fun. "Glen or Glenda" and "Mud Honey" are a couple more worth mentioning. Thanks for the praise and RL entry, Jade!

Thanks Reggie. I agree that it's subjective. Standards of taste are meant to be toppled.

Gorgeous prose, it has an almost dissonant, dystopian tone to it which I love!

Thanks, floralii. I tried for a tone in keeping with the subject. Dissonance and a dystopian view were an undercurrent to many of these films. Try "Death Race 2000."

Fabulous here Crow. Damn. Classic, and nothing fake, not even the boobs. <3

Thanks mysteriouslady. Those boobs were the trademark of director Russ Meyer, one of the best exploitation movie makers ever.
