Now, what could be worse than to have a little boy become a sissy? The A/V Geeks present an evening of classic campy 16mm school films that examine the behavior of potential wimps and what has to be done to fix it.

Films include:

SOAPY THE GERM FIGHTER (1951) Billy Martin is concerned that being clean is tantamount to being a sissy. Perhaps a giant cake of soap in pantaloons can convince him otherwise.

WILLIAM’S DOLL (1985) – William is an athletic kid but his fascination with baby dolls has his father concerned and his friends picking on him. Can Grandpa fix things with William’s birthday gift?

NEUROTIC BEHAVIOR – A PSYCHODYNAMIC VIEW (1973) – College-aged Peter has problems talking to girls. Could stern toilet training be making him a sissy?

This film was made to instruct police officers on the basics of childbirth and to show them an actual birth – mostly so they wouldn’t panic or pass out when confronted with such a scenario. WARNING! The poor acting by actual police officers and doctors and low production values in this film make the live birth scene even more shocking than others from this genre.
