We’ve hit the bonus rounds for Hooptober 2021! These will be a little more brief – just general impression of the three “extra credit” films assigned for those who can get through the marathon. First up is J.D.’s Revenge, a blaxploitation horror film that is better than you would think. Directed by Arthur Marks who made his mark in television as well as earlier fare like Bucktown and Detroit 9000. You have to wade through some gratuitous violence against women (a staple of the time) but overall this is a sharp film that uses New Orleans as something other than a bayou swamp, with some great performances, including an early showing from Louis Gossett Jr.
