Street Trash (1987) directed by J. Michael Muro

I express disdain for thee. Provide me with a bottle of spirits in exchange for this coin, and attend to my request, if you would.

Each individual fancies themselves a fiery gangster, assuming the persona of Mister Mafia. Ah, the Don! The Don of Douchebags, such a title befits you. Nick - Nick the Dick, whispered behind your back, directed toward both yourself and your establishment, that malodorous restaurant of yours.

Street Trash, is a film "written to offend every conceivable demographic" and it sure is. Nothing describes the bleakness of the 80s like this film, and despite the pure vulgarity on display, it fascinates you with the pure filth on display. It's like watching people play catch with a trainwreck, and they're throwing it higher and higher into the sky.

As a film from 87, Street Trash is a testament to the fact that Reaganomics did little to fix the social conditions it blamed on Carter-era malaise. The Vietnam vets were no less homeless, addiction was no less prevalent, and New York was still a garbage hole until the 90s, when Rudy Giuliani turned it into a police state garbage hole instead. What I'm saying here is basically Street Trash springs from the same countercultural wellspring as 80s punk.

To that, it's a film that needs a whole bundle of content warnings, and none of those apply to the main conceit of the entire movie, which is a liquor store owner selling bottles of prohibition era booze to the homeless that turn them into goop.

Yet unlike films that take their bleak vulgarity to heart, Street Trash has fun with it. I would normally make this post an analysis on how the film uses the US Government's poisoning of bootlegger's alcohol in the 20s as a thematic metaphor for the Reagan era war on drugs and its ravages in poor communities, but the film hides any sort of meaning to its social commentary behind intense scenes of violation played for laughs and some frankly impressive zany cinematography.

Only watch this one if you have the stomach for it, but it certainly is a work of note. Somehow.

Street Trash

Things in New York are about to go down the toilet.

"Body Melt (1993) ain’t here, so Street Trash is gonna have to pick up the slack! A liquor store owner finds a case of cheap, 60-year-old booze in his basement and decides to sell it. Tenafly Viper’s rad packaging isn’t the only thing killer about it though; unfortunate consumers are subject to melting like human-sized candles. What makes Street Trash special is its presentation. As characters die, their blood and innards spill out in shades of purple, blue, green, and yellow. Gory death scenes aren’t just gory death scenes, they’re colourful spectacles! Horrific eye candy!"

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) Their flesh is his fantasy.

"human centipede is the kind of body horror that should be exclusive to fucked up nightmares but instead someone made a movie (three of them actually) about it. you've got to respect that." "it would be funny"
