In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

Inspired by graffiti scrawled in the stalls of the Dead City bathroom, Brandon & Chris get the wild idea to introduce their own Hall of Slime– a place for the gone (but not for-rotten) legends of genre cinema to be remembered forever. It’s a special episode that honors and celebrates the roles of some of our very favorite character actors and the rules for inclusion are easy: Inductees must be deceased and must have been in the type of movies that played on slime-splattered drive-in screens everywhere. From ooze merchant to scarred-faced arch-nemeses, beat poet murdering sculptors to machine-gun wielding future presidents, we’re dusting the cobwebs and uncovering roles deep in our inductees filmographies and welcoming this first terror triumvirate to the loving forever-home of the Dead City CELLULOID CATACOMB.
