The Deuce grindhouses were showcases for the wildest and most extreme films in cinematic history, and ticket buyers were of all sorts: depressives hiding from jobs, sexual obsessives, inner-city people seeking cheap diversions, teenagers skipping school, adventurous couples on dates, couple-chasers peeking on them, people getting high, homeless people sleeping, pickpockets. This disenfranchised audience had nowhere else to go, and the grindhouses were where they all wound up. They were the film's harshest critics, and if the movies let them down, they would react by shouting, tossing food containers and physically damaging the theaters.
