Three relatively obscure French crime films from the 80s coming as a package in May - all three unseen by me, and can’t say that Annie Girardot as Charles Bronson instills much confidence in me, but as ever I fully support labels trying to get French titles out in English friendly releases

Canadian aerobicsploitation classic Heavenly Bodies (1984) is coming soon! Go into it as blind as possible, and remember to thank me later

Wow! I think it’s up with The Apple and Ninja III in terms of 80’s camp greatness

Re: Fun City Editions
I went in blind and enjoyed some of its ridiculous idiosyncrasies (as well as genuinely at face value, as a low-stakes "aerobicsploitation" film, like you say), but didn't come away bowled over by any 'shock' - other than an early moment where we surely witness the first on-screen
