...medical jargon, like in “Anatomist’s Got Back”: “When a girl walks in with an ischium-size waist / And a gluteus in your face / You get sprung, wanna pull off your glove.” In an anatomy class spoof on “Dancing with the Stars,” students explain how exactly to be a uterus through dancing.

To be honest, I hadn’t even heard the word “grindhouse” until Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s spoof of the genre—which I also never saw—came out in 2007. So when I found out that the Brattle Theatre was showing a series called “Return to the Grindhouse,” I was intrigued, not only because of my own desire...
