For this edition of Trailer Tuesday, we haul out the bizarre and highly-watchable cult film, Pulp.

Pulp, directed by Mike Hodges and released in 1972, stars Michael Caine as Mickey King. King, a writer of pulp detective novels, travels to Malta to ghostwrite an autobiography of a washed up movie star played by Mickey Rooney. Murder, mayhem and freaky comedy follows in his wake.

Yes, that's Mickey Rooney. I spared you the image of the man in his briefs. ('Pulp,' 1972)

“Let me go ‘Crazy On You’!” (Ann Wilson and Heart, 1977)

Seeing as how it’s been almost six weeks since we last heard from Heart, I think it’s time for another hard rocking hit tune. Here’s Ann and Nancy Wilson and the band performing “Crazy On You” live on The Midnight Special in March of 1977.

“Crazy On You,” written by the Wilson sisters, was recorded in 1975 and appeared on Heart’s February, 1976 debut L.P., Dreamboat Annie. The song reached #35 on the US Billboard “Hot 100.” Go crazy, you wild kids.
