Episode seventy-one tackles one of the most iconic Blaxploitation movies ever made (and with good reason) Gordon Parks Jr.'s 1972 classic: Super Fly. Like Shaft, the soundtrack is more popular than the film itself; thanks to the Chicago born soul legend, Mr. Curtis Mayfield. But don't sleep on this film, forty-seven years later you can still see the influence into popular culture and subcultures alike.

Episode seventy continues PsychotroniCast's 3rd Annual Blaxploitation Month with the 2000 John Singleton sequel Shaft. This movie may not be the topic of much discussion these days but looking back at the cast of this film, its a whos who of Hollywood stars. Samuel L. Jackson as John Shaft. Vanessa Williams as his trusted confidant. Christian Bale and Jeffery Wright as the villains. Rounding out the cast are supporting roles by: Toni Collette, Dan Hedaya, Andre Royo, Mekhi Phifer, Busta Rhymes, and the original John Shaft himself, Richard Roundtree.

Episode sixty-eight is by far the longest episode to date for PsychotroniCast; but when the subject is Lars Von Trier, there's a plenty to be said. With every Lars Von Trier film comes it's share of controversy, and The House that Jack Built is no exception.

Episode 66 concludes our psychotronic trip through acid Westerns (though in this case opium western -if you can mix your substances), Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller. Hot off the heals of the success of M*A*S*H director Robert Altman and reining Hollywood “it” couple, Warren Beatty and Julie Christie set up camp the woods of the Pacific Northwest to create a Western unlike anything before or since. Enhanced by the haunting music of Leonard Cohen, and the innovative and dreamlike cinematography of Vilmos Zsigmond, as well as Altman’s signature overlapping dialog and sound design, McCabe & Mrs. Miller is a masterpiece of atmosphere and texture and one of the crown jewels of the New American Cinema.
