Can you feel the love? We wrap up 2013 with Mike's favorite film, Black Shampoo, the tale of an African American salon owner who squares off against the mob when his true love is taken from him; going from a loving machine to a killing machine.
We're joined by Leon Chase, one of the folks who celebrates Black Shampoo Day every December 26th.

Anonymous I am beyond thrilled that this exists. I saw Black Shampoo for the first time a couple nights ago and I've watched it twice. I love Exploitation movies, and this was an instant favorite. Love listening to the stories of you guys watching it! Found this via Reddit when I was looking for other Black Shampoo lovers.
