A Pam Grier deep dive

Any recommendations?

Her catalogue is vast. I've seen the big ones, but haven't gone much under the surface.

Now watching:
Friday Foster (1975)
Director: Arthur Marks

A great cast for a safe and simple movie that feels more like a 70s TV show than a movie.

It's a really quite enjoyable
Pacing is uneven is my biggest complaint

8.5/10
