#but its kinda a hitler's moustache situation

[thesparkwhowalks]

I have recently become a big, big fan of American International Pictures’ Beach Party series. Are they problematic? Yes. Are the only black people the musical guests? Also yes. Is there a horribly racist native american stereotype in the seventh one? Still yes. But they’re light comedies that are excuses for rock n’ roll, attractive people of both major genders shaking their asses in swimsuits, slapstick comedy, and some light wordplay from stars of yesteryear (relative to the early 60s). And I detect an influence on the (also somewhat problematic at times) original House Party movies of the 90s, of which I am also quite fond. Highly recommend.

Gay side-note: I happened to watch Muscle Beach Party on the first day of Pride Month. The oiled-up bodybuilders were the sexiest goddamned things in the flick....except for the one who was a dead ringer for a young Alex Jones.
