The New Year always brings a New, Particularly Fun Episode of The Honeywell Experiment, and 2020 sees Virginia and me urging my lab monkey Chris Honeywell to Get Up And Boogie by enduring--WATCHING! I mean watching 1975‘s Darktown Strutters. Learn how a script written in three days became a thoroughly insane spoof of blaxploitation and biker flicks that involves a Colonel Sanders look-a-like, cross-dressing Klansmen, martial artists who don’t like doors, The Dramatics stuck in a dungeon and jokes about terminal venereal disease! This is one of the strangest movies we’ve discussed in this series (and if you know I’m saying that after a film featuring a cat living inside another cat, that’s saying something), and it’s the perfect way to ring in the new decade!
(Plus it’ll put a smile on your face, which is fortunate given what we’re going to subject you to in February...)
