This week we throw something funky on the hi-fi, turn down the lights, and... come with we and you'll be in a world of blaxploitation. Take a look and you'll see so much blaxploitation. We take on the Klan with a trio of Vets somewhere in the South and join the Brotherhood of Death . William Sanderson takes us and a nice preacher's family hostage as we Fight for Your Life. After that we head to a San Francisco antique dealer, Blacula, to see some new acquisitions from Transylvania. Finally we make it to the mean streets of New York to take in a Curtis Mayfield show and get to be truly Super Fly.
How did we watch four blaxploitation movies and not see a single on with Pam Greer? Find out, this week on Raiders of the Podcast.

Aussietown
This week, we find ourselves down a host but continue undeterred as we discuss an Australian thriller about a young girl new to the street in Sydney as she tries to survive the night with a more experienced professional on her last night in X: Night of Vengeance. That is followed with a look at the classic 1974 noir that fictionalized the California Water Wars as successfully that film's version has overtaken history for many, Chinatown.

Milky Addictions
This week we go to Queens to watch White Girl, the feature debut of Elizabeth Wood,where a college student gets wrapped up in some things and basic white girls her way through. It's a tale of New York in the summer, a tale of love and drugs and other stuff that makes Tyler's heart skip a few beats. Then we hitch a ride in a surprisingly spacious perambulator through Edo Period Japan and gaze adoringly on the stern visage of Ogami Itto as he cuts a bloody swath over the countryside in Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance.

Exiles
On this episode of RotP we talk a hard look at two movies from auteurs of differing pedigrees. First we gathered to hear the tale of Perry Hall, Maryland rogue filmmaker, underground comix author, and publisher Don Dohler's Nightbeast, a remake-and-sequel-of-sorts to Dohler's more notorious offering The Alien Factor. Then we take out second trip through the mind fields of Wes Anderson and get stranded on Isle of Dogs.
All that and we stood tall in a mighty fight against Skype's shenanigans... and lost. So please forgive the iffy moments of audio and we will try to return to our normal low level of quality next week. Probably.
Until then enjoy- Episode 65: Exiles
