Time and again, Hollywood has turned to the realm of pulp for inspiration. The term pulp is a remarkably flexible one, but for the most part, it refers to stories that tend to be sensationalist in one form or another. However, the term comes from the cheap paper from which many of the magazines featuring such stories were made. Pulp can cross into many different genres, as seen in many pulp movies throughout the decades. Whether film noir or space adventure, there’s something in the pulp sensibility for everyone.
