Cinema Sewer Volume 5: The Adults Only Guide to History's Sickest and Sexiest Movies!

You will never get bored reading an issue of Cinema Sewer. Engrossing as it is sometimes gross, Robin Bougie and the CS sewerphiles are gleeful scholars in the rare, exotic, and often tawdry world of porn journalism, scoring interviews with porn stars and directors you didn't know you cared about, reviewing movies like half-forgotten fever dreams of your wayward youth or adolescence, and perhaps gloriously free of the need to moralize or tut-tut the content of any given film or fetish, while still holding people accountable for actual moral shortcomings, like the glorious take-down of Traci Lords. While CS might forgive (and indeed, revel in) a porn star physically defecating on someone (as was one of the starring attractions in  Ilsa: She Wolf of SS , in the review of Nazisploitation flicks), they draw the line on those that lie and cause undue harm and stress to others. Lavishly illustrated with cartoons (some by the legendary Brandon Graham), stills, and movie posters, volume five of this production is as entertaining and informative as the previous four volumes - and keeps me wanting more!

Cinema Sewer is the modern heir to the old fanzines of yore; trash rags like Sleazoid Express, Gore Gazette or Deep Red, the likes of which are detailed in John Szpunar's wonderful book "Xerox Ferox: The Wild World of the Horror Film Fanzine", in which CS author Robin Bougie is interviewed. The thing that makes CS great, like the best fanzines, is that it has a personal touch. When reading it you feel as if Bougie is speaking directly to you, sharing his love for cinema/porn/sleaze and whatever else is running through his mind. I like that as opposed to the bland corporate PR of most modern websites/blogs, the fanzines of today, who take bribes to promote whatever crap is being shoveled out to the public. CS has just the right balance between text and artwork with long detailed reviews/opinion piece's or little snippets. Bougie isn't filling out copy, he's telling you what he's thinking and that's what makes Cinema Sewer worthwhile!!!FACT!!!

I've read them all... all 5 volumes of exploitation, porn, weird stuff, forgotten lore, diamonds in the ruff, stunt men, Nazis, documentaries, and the action slasher sub-genre (which I didn't even know was a thing). Everything you've never heard of and already know intimately because they're your fave.The author includes little bits and pieces about what makes Robin Bougie Robin Bougie. It's thoroughly entertaining; I'm engrossed with each hand-lettered page. Sometimes, he has guest reviewers and artists, too. I can't point my finger at any one (or even several) thing that I loved more than another. Even the stuff I'm not a fan of, I devour. It's all good.

I've been reading the series since volume one and must say, can't get enough of Robin Bougie's outlandish tales on the most obscure and perverted stuff to ever hit the screen. Must say, he never ceases to amaze me in regard to the depth of his knowledge on these wild and bizarre cultural curios. And his writing is always fresh and extremely funny - brilliant stuff as always! The only bad part is having to wait another year or two for volume 6.....keep 'em coming!

Don't ask,just buy. Great offbeat and mind flipping fun like every volume of the series.

Great little views on the subject.very informative

It was what I expected. I am really enjoying it.

All of the books in the Cinema Sewer series are great, this is just like the rest and doesn't disappoint.

great series of books

like it

Der fünfte Sammelband ist genauso wie die vorigen vier. Und das ist einfach nur Klasse. Wieder jede Menge Lesespaß über die dunklen Ecken der Genres Movies, Comics und Co.; sprich: B/C/D-Movies, 70/80is Movies, Action-flicks, XXX-Cinema, Exploitation, Genre-Highlights und seltene Sammlerstücke werden vom kundigen Trüffel-Sucher Bougie Genre-typisch präsentiert. Mit verdorbenen Zeichnungen, Karikaturen und Bildverfremdungen. Nur für Leute mit guten Englischkenntnissen.

These books are such an interesting read. Even if you aren't into the bizarre sub-culture that it covers, the stories and insight is captivating. A really great read.

The greatest series of books ever written on the subject(s). All 5 volumes are classics as far as I'm concerned .BUY THEM ALL .
