Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

“Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. This is not a popular choice here, and I have to say I didn't choose it initially partly because I've seen it so many times and partly because I thought everybody must pick this movie. There's—this movie has everything. It has fantastic score. The Carrie Nations are really one of the great forgotten bands of all time. John Lazar... Z-Man... It's written by Roger Ebert. It's just an amazing—Charles Napier is in it. It's the greatest.”

“Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, anyone who's ever played music in a rock band has to see this movie. This movie had a huge impact on the Bangles and our whole, the whole kind of zeitgeist of the band. And I, I was the one who had seen it first and insisted everyone in the band and every one of our friends go see it.”

“Now there's a dispute among the queer world between Valley of the Dolls and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and I'm in the Beyond the Valley of the Dolls camp so to speak. It's Russ Meyer, the soundtrack is incredible, it's twisted and funny and dark and surprising.”
