Exploitation and grindhouse are synonymous with each other and have been practically since the birth of filmmaking, but what the fuck are they exactly? This week, we take a *brief* look into the history of both, starting with the scandals of early Hollywood that led to the Don'ts and Be Carefuls of the 1920s through the heyday of exploitation in the 1970s. We also look at the ridiculous naming conventions of the various -sploitation subgenres and argue what is and isn't part of this overused moniker.
