THE SUMMER OF ALVIN CONCLUDES!
Ten years later, Alvin Purple was back - in a film more recent than any before it. The Podsploiteers bring Three Colours Purple to an end. One of them even admits that this was their first exposure to Ozploitation. This extended episode looks not only at Melvin’s debut, but the trilogy as a whole. They ask: was Alvin’s time past…and can it come again?
