Coffy

Published: April 15, 2020, 7:26 p.m.

We continue Blaxploitation April with a look at one of the many Pam Grier vehicles that would define her career: Coffy. Grier stars as the titular character who, after having a sister overdose on heroin, goes on the warpath to take clean the streets of drug dealers, pimps, and crooked politicians. It's another excellent entry into the filmography of Grier, who is widely considered to be one of the finest actors of the genre.\xa0The Projection Booth's Mike White and Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard join Chris to talk all about Pam Grier, her iconic career, and the cinematic plagiarist Quentin Tarantino.
