The Orphans: Part 3

This episode continues an irregular series that takes a look back at a minor cinematic phenomenon that happened more often in the 1980s than in any other decade: the one-time-only distribution company.

Today, we’ll be talking about the 1980 movie Union City, which featured the film debut of Blondie lead singer Deborah Harry, the 1981 Canadian erotic drama Head-On, which would not get released in America until 1985 and under a much different title, and the 1985 dystopian sci-fi action drama Wired to Kill, which was both one of the earliest films to star fan-favorite Tom "Tiny" Lister Jr. and be the last film to feature fan-favorite Merrick Butrick.
