Supervixens

Supervixens has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in the US on Philo and YouTube TV. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Shari Eubank sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Philo whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Supervixens earns its spot. Supervixens does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Clint must flee after his wife is killed by a psychopathic cop, who tries to pin the murder on him. Shari Eubank and Charles Pitts lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1975. What keeps Supervixens from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Supervixens is a strong candidate. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Shari Eubank's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
