Rubdown (1985)

campy exploitationfemale rage fantasy80s sleaze

Overview

Bixby is a horrid employer who fires Gail because she refuses to give in to his sexual advances. Her two co-workers, Patty and Suzy, quit in protest and the three decide to become full-time self-employed entrepreneurs in the "World's Oldest Profession." "If you've got to let somebody squeeze the goods," says Gail, "you might as well get paid for it!" The enterprise is an outstanding success and their 9 to 5 world is crowded with lust-filled men and couples looking to add spice to their lives. One day old Bixby catches their ad in the paper and phones for an appointment. Recognizing his voice, the girls plan a just revenge!

Standout Aspects

Acting

Bunny Bleu's deadpan delivery of absurd dialogue

Production

Gloriously cheap 80s aesthetic, every dollar on screen

Best for:Solo: Ironically watching with feminist theory brain activated·Friends: Drunken midnight 'is this satire?' debates·Background: Chaos wallpaper while you fold laundry
Heads up:Sexual Content: Softcore content throughout, obviously·Triggers: Opening workplace harassment scene (played for plot, not titillation)
