205 – The Story of D.E. 733: Ship of Shame

Jen and Tim swab the deck with a hygiene film straight from the U.S. Navy, The Story of D.E. 733: Ship of Shame. Actually, turns out it’s pretty good, even with all the sores!

See the film in two parts (first reel and second reel) over at the Periscope Film YouTube channel, but be warned that it contains insert shots of male genitalia with symptoms of sexually transmitted infections. Wrap it before you tap it!

Jen says Mike Pence was governor of Iowa when she should have said Indiana. As she is a lifelong coastal elite, the states in the middle of the country just merge into a big blur when she looks at them. Anyway, the HIV outbreak started when Pence balked at funding needle exchanges for injection drug users.

See photos from the wartime U.S. Naval Photographic Services Depot, which produced The Story of D.E. 733.

The song the sailors are singing at the beginning of the film is “Bell Bottom Trousers,” which was adapted from an extremely saucy folk ballad called “Rosemary Lane.” Wikipedia has the original spicy lyrics.

204 – Showgirls 2: Penny’s From Heaven

Heels, sheer top, full face of makeup. That’s how I sleep!

Tim and Jen brave the crowdfunded sequel to Showgirls, a mindbogglingly lengthy auteur statement called Showgirls 2: Penny’s From Heaven.

The entire thing is the work of bit-part Showgirls (the original) actress Rena Riffel, who wrote, directed, edited, and starred in…this. Please don’t be mad at us Rena we love you.

See Rena’s pivotal appearance in Tim’s beloved Fishmasters, the low-budget but charming San Luis Obispo-area TV show mentioned in the episode.

Geeks of Doom had some hilariously wrong information about the film when the first trailer and crowdfunding appeal droppped:

[T]he film is “about stripper who died from a dose of contaminated cocaine. Her brother comes to Frankfurt to find the responsible and revenge.”

We’ve seen it, and it’s not that. Luna Guthrie at Collider treats the movie much more kindly than we do, if you want a different take.

Finally, please watch Jen’s video mashing up R.O.T.O.R. with Midi, Maxi, and Efti, and follow us on YouTube if you’re not sick of us already!

200 – Disclosure

Tim and Jen welcome Alex Rancourt of the Saucer Cinema podcast to discuss a concentrated version of the political correctness panic of the 90s, Disclosure.

If for some reason you need to subject yourself to the gross-out video Alex dropped in the chat while we were recording, here you go: Michael Douglas eats an oyster.

From 1995, this Vanity Fair article about Michael Douglas covers some of the production of Disclosure. Also highlighted are Douglas’s personal struggles at the time, including a reconciliation with wife Diandra (who’d file for divorce later that year).

If you just can’t get enough 90s tech references, check out this history of SiliconGraphics, the company that created a lot of the computer imagery in Disclosure. It’s a UNIX system! You know this!

For more Michael Douglas (dunno why you want more, but you do you), listen to our episode about The Ghost and the Darkness!

183 – Perversions of Science

Tim and Jen head back to the pre-prestige-TV cable well with a failed spinoff of Tales From the Crypt called Perversions of Science. Throughout, you can really tell that your hosts would rather be watching a certain Canadian/German co-production.

For just $5 a month, hear it and over 80 more episodes on our Patreon!

Jen was slightly off when she said that HBO has existed since “the mid-to-late 70s”—it launched in 1972.

Mic mentions the Dan Quayle/Murphy Brown kerfuffle in this article about depictions of abortion on American television. And then there’s Maude!

In 1992, Vanity Fair covered the speculation around the circumstances of the death of Hitler’s niece. (Jen thinks he did it.)

If you love Skinemax Farscape as much as we do, listen to our Lexx episode!

162 – Body of Evidence

Tim and Jen remain in the 90s for a look at a dire courtroom drama leavened with gauzy sex scenes, the 1992 Madonna vehicle Body of Evidence.

Hear the whole episode at our Patreon for a pledge of $5/month and get access to more than 70 bonus episodes!

There are no page numbers in Madonna’s book Sex, but it doesn’t take long to flip through on the Internet Archive if you want to see her eating pizza in the nude!

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 writers beat Jen to it with a panoply of fake erotic thriller names during the credits for Outlaw [of Gor], episode 519. A personal favorite: “Murder Most Moist.”

159 – Blonde

Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik's Blonde (2022)

Jen and Tim welcome returning guest Darren Herczeg to go to bat for an almost universally loathed Netflix feature, Blonde. Naturally, the trio revel in the film’s grotesque and overt misogyny while twirling their mustaches.

Hear the whole episode at our Patreon!

Jessica Kiang’s review of Blonde over at Film Comment sums up the critical reaction well:

Dominik’s film is a technical marvel, but it’s cold and not a little sinister. It’s also an utterly heartless hoodwink.

There’s no word on whether or not the French documentary that revealed the identity of Marilyn’s biological father will screen in the US. However, according to Variety, an English-language version exists and has been sold to international distributors.

Darren previously appeared on the show to talk about the film Michael Mann refuses to talk about, The Keep!

137 – Heart of Midnight

Jennifer Jason Leigh and Peter Coyote in Matthew Chapman's Heart of Midnight (1988)

Jen and Tim take a look at an exploration of trauma anchored by an incredible Jennifer Jason Leigh performance, Heart of Midnight!

The writer/director, Matthew Chapman, wrote the screenplay for Color of Night, but don’t hold that against him! See some of his unproduced material at The Blacklist.

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk is an excellent treatise on what we know about trauma, the human brain, and addressing the treatment needs of people suffering from people with PTSD. Visit van der Kolk’s website to read an interview about the book.

For some insight into Jennifer Jason Leigh’s process as an actor, read her conversation with John Turturro for Interview magazine in 1996.

OH SHIT we totally forgot to mention in the episode that the film’s score is by Yanni. Do people remember Yanni? It’s a pretty good score, too!

We will be phasing out our $2 tier in June! If you’d like to stick around for more demented media and special guests, Patreon has instructions on how to edit your pledge.

122 – Gothic

Natasha Richardson and Kiran Shah in Gothic (1986) — this is what happens when you buy from MyPillow

Jen welcomes Julie once again to talk about the historical background of a phantasmagoric Ken Russell favorite, Gothic!

Hear the whole episode at our Patreon and get access to more than 50+ bonus episodes!

The movie Jen fails to identify is, of course, Catherine Breillat’s 2004 Anatomy of Hell, starring Amira Casar and Rocco Siffredi.

Thomas Dolby enlisted vocalist Timothy Spall (!) for a song inspired by the film Gothic, “The Devil is an Englishman”

Hear Steve Hackett’s cover of “The Devil is an Englishman” from his 2003 album, To Watch the Storms.

Stephen Volk, the screenwriter of Gothic, has a page devoted to the film on his website. Lots of cool photos, videos, and other reminisces to be had there.

Speaking of, we also discussed another work by Stephen Volk, the controversial BBC special Ghostwatch. Give it a listen!

119 – Siesta

Jen welcomes Julie (@ chimericalgirl1 on Twitter) to celebrate an almost entirely forgotten erotic thriller with art house ambitions, Siesta, from 1987. This one’s quite overlooked in spite of a stacked cast that includes Ellen Barkin, Gabriel Byrne, Jodie Foster, Julian Sands, Grace Jones, and Alexei Sayle.

Hear the whole episode at Patreon!

We admit, this one’s hard to track down unless you’re willing to hunt for PAL and/or bootleg DVDs, but you can hear some of the sultry Miles Davis/Marcus Miller soundtrack!

If you love Julie as much as we do, listen to our episode on Yes concert film 9012Live!
