Sex in the Cinema

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. 

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).  
 
 

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. 

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). 

Some things are too good to keep tight so we pulled a Scorsese. Come sink your teeth into this supersized second installment of our Lesbian Vampire series.
Titties get top billing and Torie meets her redhead arch nemesis in THE VAMPIRE LOVERS (1970). Male-female gender politics get fascinating treatment in the French gem FASCINATION (1979). The (un)holy trinity of hotness - David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon - deliver a (sac)religious viewing experience in THE HUNGER (1983).

Lesbian Vampires embody many things - beauty, ruthlessness, man-hating and the lustful intensity of a thousand Scorpios. They also have killer wardrobes (pun intended). 
Torie and Maggie take their first bite into gratuitous sexploitation marred by a male victim's confusingly cringeworthy kissing in VAMPYRES (1974). They witness the most concentrated representation of Power Scorpio energy in cinema history with VAMPYROS LESBOS (1971) and low-key fetishes for true crime in DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS (1971).

Torie and Maggie take another deep dive into the wide world of D on film (aka full frontal male nudity).
Maggie gets triggered by memories of her mom's TMI obsession with Richard Gere in AMERICAN GIGOLO (1980). Torie is rendered speechless by Michael Fassbender's well-endowed biology in SHAME (2011). Both ladies revisit and revel in the glitter-infused, glam rock fever dream VELVET GOLDMINE (1998) starring Ewan McGregor's you know what...

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. 

Torie and Maggie explore the dark corners of paraphilia within the horror film genre. We encounter MedFet and necrophilia - not to mention some notable foreplay - in RE-ANIMATOR (1985), extreme "tree hugging" in THE EVIL DEAD (1981), and blood play seduction from the OG undead lothario in BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992).

Welcome to Sex in the Cinema, the podcast that strips away the celluloid to the REAL reason you watched that movie. 
Join your hosts Torie and Maggie - both cinephiles and proud horndogs - as they penetrate the annals of sex scenes in film - the good, the bad, the sexy and the seriously WTF un-sexy. The diverse spectrum of sex in cinema is pretty much an infinite climax.
