WPINK-TV

About This Movie

WPINK-TV is this quirky little 1984 comedy that captures the essence of its era with a playful, somewhat risqué vibe. The story centers around Phil, a TV cameraman who brings his work home in a rather unconventional way, videotaping his girlfriend Kathi in various sexy poses. It creates this interesting juxtaposition between the intimacy of their relationship and the voyeuristic nature of television. The pacing feels casual, letting moments breathe, while the practical effects are pretty much non-existent, which somehow adds to its charm. The performances are earnest, bringing a lightheartedness that doesn’t take itself too seriously, making it a distinctive entry in the realm of low-budget comedies from that time.

WPINK-TV has had a bit of a checkered release history, with its VHS and DVD editions being hard to come by, which adds to its collector appeal. The scarcity of accessible formats means that many collectors are keeping an eye out for any screenings or possible re-releases. While it may not be on everyone’s radar, those who appreciate offbeat comedies from the '80s find a lot to enjoy here, especially in its blend of humor and exploration of media voyeurism.
