This season on the plot thickens, brace yourself for Pam Grier.

Have no fear, Pam Grier is here.

In the 1970s, Pam appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

It's that woman. She's crazy.

A Hollywood icon. She did her own stunts. She toyed a movie industry up.

She's sweet brown, she'll go with a touch of spice.

Pam was the undisputed queen of black exploitation, low budget movies with a high body count.

There were millions of fans along with plenty of critics.

It was a whole coalition against black exploitation.

Middle class, middle age, leaders were not fans of these films.

But not all blacks are happy about their new hero.

We talk about the male gaze of the camera. It's all over Pam.

Pam Grier, that one chick hit squad. I told you I ain't mad at you.

She was also a black actress in a racist town. On screen, she fought back with guts and power.

Death is too easy for you, bitch.

Beautiful black woman with a beautiful round afro with a sought-off shotgun.

That was just kicking ass. There wasn't a white equivalent to that.

You picked the wrong player.

I think I started a movement.

But behind her toughest nails persona, there was a country girl who loved horses, worked hard,

and never planned to be an actress.

Because I was seriously thinking about packing up and going home. There's just no way.
