Schlock (1974) a zoom discussion
·OnlineOnlineSchlock is a film by John Landis who did Animal House and the Blues Brothers. Keep in mind that Schlock means low budget B movies that should have some entertainment value. I have not seen this film, but it's Schlock cinema. The banana killer comes to a California town a causes a ruckus. I will let you decide if this is entertainment or trash? Let's talk about it. I will take a break from zoom film discussions until winter after this film. Join the group for a zoom discussion of the 1974 film SCHLOCK!
