We’re always keen to promote anything on community television around on Televised Revolution. if you’re in Brisbane, you are hard pressed to go past Schlock Treatment on Channel 31. Each week Trash Video’s Andrew Leavold presents cult classics.

While there are several hours of worthy viewing coming up over the next month. this Friday’s double feature of The Wild World of Batwoman and the Turkish Star Wars knock-off will be an evening to behold. Do yourself a favour and tune in. Beer and commrades are a must!

Friday 25th April: POP CULTURE GONE TROPPO FAMOUS MOMENTS IN FILM THIEVERY #1: Infamous Z-producer/director Jerry Warren takes on DC Comics with The Wild World Of Batwoman (1966) – and is sued almost out of the film industry! FAMOUS MOMENTS IN FILM THIEVERY #2: “Turksploitation” producers believe they can edit footage from the original Star Wars into their own version (Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam or “The Man Who Saves The World”)… and nobody would ever notice! Luckily Schlock Treatment has, and we’re proud to present a subtitled version of one of the wildest reworkings of George Lucas’ universe EVER, affectionately known as The Turkish Star Wars (1982).

Friday 2nd May: YOUNG DENNIS HOPPER DOUBLE SEE Dennis Hopper practically out of nappies as he takes on a sinister mermaid in the moody, forgotten Curtis Harrington minor masterpiece Night Tide (1961)… and SEE Dennis, John Saxon and an alien vampiress on board a spaceship to hell in the 1966 Queen Of Blood!
