Foreign Customs
Wild Women of Wongo
You'll have to decide for yourself. First, take a look at the unfortunately bleached-out trailer. Then view the whole film--in glorious "Pathecolor"--on YouTube, in several parts, with the first one featured after the trailer.
Also on YouTube is the MST3K version.

Bowanga Bowanga
BOWANGA BOWANGA, or "The White Sirens of Africa," is a lot less fun over sixty minutes of viewing than this select snippet pretends. So be content with what you see here, and save yourself a rental.

France Gall’s anti-LSD song
The French have popstars no sane American has ever heard of. One such is certainly France Gall.Perhaps the most bizarre moment of her career was her anti-LSD anthem from 1967, "Teenie Weenie Boppie," penned by none other than
Serge Gainsbourg.
Watch it now, why not?
Curious about the lyrics? Listen to the English-language cover version by indie super group Free Kitten.

Le Bushmiller par excellence!
The next time someone sees you reading comics and criticizes your lowbrow tastes, whip out a hardcopy of this page and reply, "But no, mon frere, I read only zee intellectual bande dessinée, such as zee Arthur et Zoé."
