Popatopolis is a 2009 documentary film directed by Clay Westervelt about the making of Jim Wynorski's 2005 soft-core horror film, The Witches of Breastwick. The film's title is a reference to "Tom Popatopolous", one of Wynorski's director pseudonyms.
The film serves as a partial biography, with clips from many of his previous films, and includes interviews with Wynorski himself, as well as his contemporaries, cast and crew. The documentary features B-Movie and film personalities like Roger Corman, Andy Sidaris, Julie Strain, Julie K. Smith and Stormy Daniels.
After the release of Popatopolis Wynorski expressed: "A director spent five years making this documentary about me. It was very flattering during the production period, but I was a bit worried how it might turn out. In the end, I found it very funny – even if it does take an occasional stab at me".
