A Vietnam vet’s reality unravels in a surreal, softcore nightmare of murder and memory.
STICK IT IN YOUR EAR
David wakes up on the grounds of a deserted church. Is it a dream? An hallucination? Nope. This is the real world.
From the vault: come for the amnesia, stay for the topless surrealism.
Stick It in Your Ear takes you deep into the fractured psyche of a Vietnam vet, with experimental style, no credits, and a heady mix of softcore surrealism and bloodshed. If your cinematic tastes run toward dream logic, nudity, and references from John Wayne to Che Guevara, this cult oddity delivers a sleazy, disorienting ride.

Why Cult
David’s war-haunted mind gives the film its unstable center, blending amnesia, flashbacks, and violence.
From dreamlike sequences to the lack of on-screen credits, this is exploitation cinema at its most purposefully disjointed.
Expect abundant nudity, sex scenes, and sleazy murder, all wrapped in a haze of psychological horror.
The film references Rod McKuen, John Wayne, Strom Thurmond, and Che Guevara, setting its fever dream squarely in the era’s anxieties.
