For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Full River Red (2023), a Chinese murder-mystery thriller set during the Song Dynasty c. 1146, centering on the mysterious death of the imperial chancellor after visiting some courtiers from the rival Jin Dynasty. Intrigue ensues, along with about a million twists in over-the-top and often cartoonish fashion, as the various factions involved try to uncover the conspiracy. Director is Zhang Yimou, the guy behind Raise the Red Lantern (1991), which we previously watched. This is currently the 7th-highest-grossing film of all time in China.

Next is Female Trouble (1974), a comedy following the rise and fall of a lady (played by famed drag queen Divine) as she becomes the Joker in her quest to buy a sweet pair of heels. Crime, murder, pregnancy, sex, and various gross-out antics follow from there, ultimately ending in the electric chair. This is considered one of the best films of John Waters, whose Pink Flamingos (1972) we previously watched; much like that film, this one is heavy on shock humor, so be forewarned.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
