TUESDAY

Sexploitation, where have you gone? I may try to pretend I’m a film snob every once in a while, but then I remember how much I like really crappy—er, psychotronic—movies. Sure, the plots are so simple they could have been written on a cocktail napkin, but who cares? Sometimes a formula just works: Sexy cop + undercover assignment + female prison + karate = instant classic. It’s practically Einstein’s theory of relativity in its truth and simplicity. Lucky for those studying the physics of bad movies, director Lee Frost hit upon this winning formula in his 1974 film Policewomen, starring Sondra Currie as one of the titular heroines (pun damn well intended) who has to go behind bars to stop an all-girl gang. Keep your shirt on when the Washington Psychotronic Film Society presents the film at 8 p.m. at Dr. Dremo’s Taphouse, 2001 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington. $2 (suggested donation). (202) 736-1732.
