Kings County Cinema Society will be seizing control of the backroom at Freddy’s and returning to thei r favorite genre: blaxploitation. Glorious, hilarious sci-fi blaxploitation. The Thing With Two Heads (1972, 90min) directed by Lee Frost. The film’s tagline: “They transplanted a white bigot’s head on a soul brother’s body!”
8:30 start time! The original publicity campaign for this one warned against the possibility of “apoplectic strokes, cerebral hemorrhages, cardiac seizures or fainting spells” …so arrive on time! They’re starting with two shorts: Atama-Yama (eng. title Mount Head) a peculiar cautionary tale from Japan about a miserly old man who sprouts a cherry tree from his cranium after eating too many pits. 2004 Oscar nom for best animated short. Then: the first ep. of the short-lived MTV cartoon “The Head.” These two total 18min
