Professional wrestling is more real than you think. Kayfabe gets busted open the hard way as Jay Katz enters the squared circle and smacks down footage from the four corners of the globe, proving this maligned sport doesn’t start and finish with the WWE. Ever watched a Japanese bath house match? Witnessed the bloody, bloody barbed wire bouts in Puerto Rico? Seen Mexico’s most bankable movie stars grapple vampires, werewolves and even Martians? Popped for Australia’s golden age when the Fabulous Kangaroos were booked at the top of the card? Not for jabronis. Plus feature… CHAMPIONS OF JUSTICE!

Get ready to be thrown from pillar to post as you traverse some of the most absurd moments ever created in the name of entertainment and education. Not for the faint hearted.

Pay attention, you just might learn something. Before you ever went to big school there were once at least ten educational shorts for every feature film made. Covering every nuance of human transgression, Jay Katz will teach you all about the dangers of drink driving, drug abuse, sexual intercourse, stranger danger, dating and household safety. Witness some of the most bizarre moments ever committed to film, conditioning your behaviour with outrageously overzealous use of shock, fear and exploitation techniques. Not for the squeamish. Plus feature documentary… HELL’S HIGHWAY!

After years of research into the world of parapolitics, conspiracies and the anomalous, Jay Katz presents the cutting edge on the real nature of the world we live in. Are you aware of how many clear films and stills of UFO’s actually exist? Did NASA really land on the moon? Want to find out who the shooter on the Grassy Knoll was? Is it true that the Mickey Mouse Club is the centre of mind control in the Western World? What’s going to happen in the year 2012? You will gasp in horror as nothing is as you perceived it to be. Not for the sceptical. Plus feature documentary… ZEITGEIST: ADDENDUM!

Dick Dale is back with two more lost treasures, more shorts, more trailers and (yes) more surprises. The greatest civilization history has ever known resurfaces in a bubble only to lay waste to Miami on a 1950s Ford in The Raiders of Atlantis. Kung-Fu master Jim Kelly flys a jetpack and unloads his deadly fists onto vultures, midgets and Satanic priests to stop them getting their hands on the diabolical freeze bomb in Black Samurai.

Your last chance to experience the madness, Dick Dale digs deep, pulling out two cult gems for your displeasure (along with the shorts, trailers and surprises). In the sequel to For Your Height Only 2¾ foot high Weng Weng returns as super spy Agent 00 in The Impossible Kid. Finally, Christopher Plummer slums it with redneck robots, the Neanderthal planet, light sabres, stop-motion SPFX, Marjoe and The Hoff in Starcrash.
