Author Biography DAVID SCHMADER is a writer and performer devoted to exploring his obsessions, from homophobic rock stars and pray-away-the-gay Christians to trash cinema and legalized drugs. His solo plays-Letter to Axl, Straight, and A Short-Term Solution to a Long-Term Problem-have been performed across the US. From 1998-2015, Schmader worked as a staff writer and editor for Seattles Pulitzer-winning newsweekly The Stranger, where he wrote the issue-opening column "Last Days- The Week in Review" for 18 years. In his spare time, he is the worlds foremost authority on the glorious terribleness of the movie Showgirls, hosting annotated screenings of Paul Verhoevens notorious stripper drama at cinemas all over North America and providing the commentary track for the Showgirls DVD. His first book Weed- The Users Guide was first published by Sasquatch Books in 2016.

And oh, boy, is this corner of the country filled with weird little treasures." —The Stranger"David Schmaders film writing has always been dryly funny and incisive, but it has rarely been this affectionate. This very comprehensive collection of PNW-centric film and TV capsules is for locals or tourists, hardcore cinephiles or casual viewers. Full disclosure: David once called me a "Showgirls truther." —Matt Lynch, Scarecrow Video, cohost of The Suspense Is Killing Us podcast and YouTubes Viva Physical Media Details ISBN1632174251 Author David Schmader Short Title Filmlandia!
