Bøker av Mike Watt

A return to the grit, grime and sleaze of old 42nd Street grindhouse movies. Issue 2 brings more politically-incorrect articles including a look back at Bruce Lee, interview with Celeste Yarnell and an indepth look at the "Blood Island" trilogy; and Wes Craven's classic "The Hills Have Eyes" from the perspective of multiple writers who grew up with the survival horror masterpiece.

From 42nd Street Pete comes the premiere issue of a grindhouse 'zine dedicated to those wild and weird days of New York's 42nd Street. No PC nonsense when it comes to exploitation cinema!

In this special issue, we pay tribute to our dear friend, author/director/poet/bon vivant, William Richert. Best known for directing WINTER KILLS and A NIGHT IN THE LIFE OF JIMMY REARDON, Bill was blackballed by the industry in the '90s over his feuds with the Writer's and Director's Guilds of America, as well as his insistence in reopening the case of River Phoenix's death. Presented for the first time is a long-form interview with Bill, never before published, as well as documents written by Bill himself, previewing his final book: EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. Also boasting many rare photos sent by Bill himself! This is a tribute to a wonderful man.
