Today we honor the master of cinema (and Doomsday’s teacher) Jim Wynorski. THE LOST EMPIRE (1984) A trio of bosomed beauties go up against an evil devil worshipping cult that is hellbent on taking over the world. When you look up the word auteur in the dictionary, you will no doubt see a photo of Jim Wynorski right next to it. Right from his debut feature film, Wynorski had a clear and uncompromising vision. Action. Adventure. Science Fiction. Comedy. Women’s Liberation. All that (and more) for the price of a single movie theater ticket? What a legend. CHOPPING MALL (1986) This Roger Corman produced schlockfest is about teens battling killer robots at the mall. It's a romp filled with thrills, hot babes and the dude from Deathstalker II chowing gum. Best of all, it's under 90 minutes! Take that, John Wick 4. DEATHSTALKER II (1987) Monique Gabrielle, with the help of Zack Morris, battle John LaZar for control of her kingdom. The first Deathstalker is a pretty decent Conan the Barbarian knockoff, but Deathstalker II is in a league of its own. Think of Army of Darkness but with boobs. Sounds like a winner to me. I wish I had time to go over the 147 other movies that were gifted to the world by Mr. Wynorski, but don’t let that stop you. Today is a day of celebration. Have fun.

Don't forget PG Cooper's favorite movie, Munchie. Munchie and Little Miss Millions are the perfect Jennifer Love Hewitt double feature. She’ll just never admit it.

SORCERESS (1982) After working on the script for Roger Corman’s Alien knockoff, Forbidden World (1982), Jim Wynorski got his first true ‘written by’ credit with Sorceress. While there are some disputes on how much of Wynorski’s script ended up in the finished film, some of his hallmarks do hilariously show up. Directed by B-movie legend Jack Hill and starring Playboy twins Leigh and Lynette Harris, Sorceress is about twin daughters going up against their father, an evil wizard intend on ruling the earth. On paper, this all sounds like total schlock, but Jack Hill knows what the fuck he’s doing. A lot of these Roger Corman sword-and-sandal films are total nonsense even if they’re mildly entertaining. Sorceress manages to at least be solidly constructed. The story flows pretty well and the characters are engaging. It almost feels like a real movie. Shocking, I know. It’s schlock but it’s good schlock and not something that is unintentionally funny.
