But you know what? If you've been paying attention to Rocket Jones movie reviews then y'all have been learning about grindhouse movies all along. Nudist camp exploitation, nunsploitation, crappy B-movies, roughies, boob-o-liscious foreign films that include Mexican horror, Italian giallo and so much more cheesy goodness.
So the next time some friend gushes about discovering "grindhouse" and how it's just so retro, tell 'em that you've been watching them for years. And that's the secret, stick with Rocket Jones and stay ahead of the pack.

As I understand it, the term "grindhouse" actually describes the movie theater. In my younger days, there was the Clark theater in Chicago, which ran a different feature every day. Anything from Armored Battle Cruiser Potemkin to Mondo Cane. It was wise to use the bathroom at the previous point in your travels.
