Sex in the Cinema

CUMMING OF AGE CLASSICS PART 2: Y tu mamá también, Turn Me On Goddammit, Stealing Beauty w/ Cecilia Conti

Returning special guest Cecilia Conti joins Torie and Maggie to discuss three eminent coming of age narratives with some solid silver screen sex. 
Cringe comedy has integrity and dick poking gets literal in TURN ME ON, GODDAMMIT/FÅ MEG PÅ, FOR FAEN! (2011), a Norwegian hidden gem Torie incorrectly refers to as Swedish. Horney men run amok and Torie fails to distinguish Italian character names in Bernardo Bertolucci's mid-90s Liv Tyler flick, STEALING BEAUTY (1996). Cinema's most legendary ménage à trois crowns the gut-wrenchingly moving, multi-layered masterwork Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN (2001). Bonus - Cecilia shares her story of meeting Diego Luna who, we are thrilled to report, is genuinely a sweet guy!!

SEX ON THE BEACH: The Blue Lagoon, Paradise, Summer Lovers

Quick note for our listeners. Apologies for minor technical issues, we recorded this "campfire episode" during a power outage on the first day of Mercury in Retrograde. Also, trigger warning for a brief mention of suicide in our coverage of the first film. 
As we round out the summer, SITC is setting the scene on theme with three films featuring sex on the beach (coitus, not cocktails). 
Torie and Maggie kick off with the Brooke Shields blockbuster and kissing cousin's classic THE BLUE LAGOON (1980). Maggie is thrilled with Torie's burgeoning bi-sexuality specific to the one Phoebe Cates in the atrocious Blue Lagoon ripoff, PARADISE (1982). Throuples and lizards run rampant on the island of Santorini in SUMMER LOVERS (1982) starring a young Daryl Hannah and Peter Gallagher. 

LADIES IN LOVE: Desert Hearts, Blue is the Warmest Color, Personal Best

Holy tits! It's SITC's one-year anniversary!!! To mark this momentous occasion, we're covering three (markedly more) momentous classics of lesbian cinema.
Barren deserts and parched pussies get WET in the moving indie darling DESERT HEARTS (1985). Female pentathletes engage in erotic arm wrestling in PERSONAL BEST (1982). Torie and Maggie color commentate seven minutes of male gaze-infested f**king in the Palme d'Or-winning masterpiece, BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR (2013). 

POETIC PERIOD PIECES: Cold Mountain, Shakespeare in Love, Dangerous Beauty

From love letters to love poems to lyrical Venetian rap-battles, these three historical dramas put the PEN in penis. 
Jude Law makes a lot of noise playing a man of few words in COLD MOUNTAIN (2003). Verses get venereal in DANGEROUS BEAUTY (1998). Theatre once again proves its inherent queerness in SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE (1998). 

UNCUT AND UNRATED: Religious and Raunchy

Welcome to Uncut and Unrated, SITC's version of the re-release.
Instead of a straight up re-post of an older episode, we're giving you the podcast equivalent of a Director's Cut.
SITC Uncut and Unrated includes everything we would have kept in - the digressions, the truly cringe-worthy anecdotes, and the content our paranoia convinced us would get us cancelled. LISTEN AT YOUR OWN RISK. 
In the meantime, SITC is banking content like good little podcasters. Keep your ears open and your eyes peeled for all-new episodes dropping soon!
We hope you enjoy the Uncut and Unrated version of Religious and Raunchy, one of our favorite episodes to date. 
----
Heresy alert! Please be advised this episode contains some serious sacrilege.
Maggie drools over Gael Garcia Bernal in THE CRIME OF PADRE AMARO (2002). Torie gets a little (way) too excited about THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST (1988). Maggie gags on her sandwich during THE NAME OF THE ROSE (1986), whereas Torie finds an unexpected new crush. 

FRATBOY F**KERY: Animal House, Porky's, American Pie

Trigger warning: this episode discusses themes of sexual and verbal assault, rape, and body shaming.
Welcome to the black hole of misogyny where "boys will be boys" and fratboy mentality reigned supreme to brainwash multiple generations.  
Torie struggles to kill her darlings in the National Lampoon classic ANIMAL HOUSE (1978). Kim Cattrall is the only saving grace in the postulating butt boil that is PORKY'S (1981). Witness the birth of virtual assault and revenge porn in the generation-defining Y2K flick, AMERICAN PIE (1999).  

SPECIAL EPISODE: Saltburn

Okay, guys we hear you! Get ready to sweat and make those panties wet because we're covering SALTBURN.
 
This kaleidoscopic fever dream of millennial nostalgia has it all - full frontal fabulousness, fresh talent, eyeball-blisteringly hot sex and good f**king writing. From red wings to grave digging of a different color, this 2023 gem is a new classic. 

CUMMING OF AGE CLASSICS PART 1: Cruel Intentions, Titanic, The Notebook

Torie and Maggie take a nostalgic trip back to the movies that not only made us (cum) but also shaped the hormones of an entire generation. 
Brace yourself for some awkward adolescent anecdotes, friends. The cringe-factor of this episode gives PEN15 a run for its money.
Torie shares some borderline illegal memories about her pre-teen attempts to reenact  one scene in particular from TITANIC (1997). Maggie re-experiences all the feels from Allie and Noah's oh-so-real romantic dynamic in THE NOTEBOOK (2004). Maggie recounts her bisexual awakening and Torie once again risks alienating our listeners with CRUEL INTENTIONS (1999).  
 
 

SPECIAL EPISODE: Lifetime's™ A Cowboy Christmas Romance w/ Cecilia Conti

We're taking a detour to the BOOB TUBE for this very special episode!
Lifetime™ made history last month with a first-ever SEX SCENE in one of their crap holiday films. In honor of this milestone, we indulged the sugar and spice with A COWBOY CHRISTMAS ROMANCE .
Special guest Cecilia Conti joins to rip apart this trash fire of a film that's complete with all those Lifetime™ tropes you know and love plus some solid PG-rated content.
Get ready to giddy up and take a roll in Fifty Shades of Hay. 

SEXY SNACKS: Tampopo, 9 1/2 Weeks, La Grande Bouffe

Trigger warning: bodily functions and hedonism ahead!
Torie and Maggie revisit monochrome color palettes and smirking toxic seduction with 9 1/2 WEEKS (1986). Both ladies are left traumatized following their first watch of LA GRANDE BOUFFE (1973) and then rescued by the effervescently sexy and incomparably charming, TAMPOPO (1986).
