seem important anymore.' Her eyes held a vacant stare which
bothered Dee. They appeared to be looking but not seeing anything.
'I didn't think I'd ever want anything more than I did, gold and
good times and excitement. I guess I lived it day and night. Gold!
Bread! Loot! I quit school to get it. Money was the only thing that
was important in the whole world to me and I didn't care much how I
got it. And I liked it so's I could buy fly juice and powder! Pot!
Hashish! Now it's all changed. I don't want any of it. Why fly when
there’s no place left to fly?" In celebration of Edward D. Wood
Jr.'s 100th birthday, The Pink Smoke dives into one of the many
pulp books the venerated "worst director of all time" churned out
in the last decade of his life. In spite of being overstuffed with
characters and subplots, Devil Girls from 1967 is also packed with
the kind of half-clunky/half-poetic dialogue and potboiler action
sequences that made his films so entertaining. Devil Girls tells
the story of The Chicks, an all-female gang of juvenile delinquents
involved in drug running within their kill-crazy gulf port town.
Between jazzing on the big H, heisting soda shops and taking part
in hazy orgies with the local thugs, these young troublemakers also
arrange the murder of a schoolteacher and kill a parent or two.
Which of them will see the light and follow Reverend Hank Steele's
path to salvation? Which will end up under a boat propeller? Listen
to this episode before you light another fix candle - your life
might depend on it! Support our Patreon:
