“The Power of Glove” is a documentary that chronicles the history & legacy of the notoriously “bad” Power Glove, a 1989 Nintendo controller that promised to forever change the way humans interact with technology. Originally released by Mattel, the Power Glove was the first mass-marketed gesture-based video game controller. It was designed by an eclectic team of hard-working and bright-eyed dreamers, and its marketing hype was immense. Immediately after its release, however, gamers were disappointed by the Power Glove, and critics panned it as a worthless gimmick. Yet unlike many gimmicks and critical failures of the past, the Power Glove has not been simply swept under the rug. Nearly three decades after its release, the Power Glove continues to resonate with video gaming and technology fans, becoming the focus of art pieces, songs, videos, hacking projects, and other forms of cultural repurposing. “The Power of Glove” tells the story of how and why the Power Glove lives on.

Carry on Sargent AKA Angela's Foursome is the film which once and for all exposes the film processing house racket as a hotbed of sin and vice. When a struggling company starts taking on pornographer clients, they attract the attention of a hardnosed hillbilly cop who's on the prowl for "dirty Commie stuff from Moscow." They make a short film which hyp-no-tizes the cop into believing that porn is good (a process soon to be adopted for all SWV tapes) and then to seal the deal, the hypnotist bangs the lab technician (in slow motion). "Wonderful! Just wonderful!" barks the hoodooed porker. We couldn't agree less. Important note: there is no actual foursome in Angela's Foursome.
