Sneaky Dragon Episode 216

Sneaky-Dragon-Episode-216

With Robin Bougie. This week on Sneaky Dragon Ian and Dave are joined by talented writer/cartoonist Robin Bougie, long-time publisher of Cinema Sewer – a fun magazine covering exploitation films and vintage porn. So this week much is said about prostitutes and balloons; good and/or bad and/or good-bad movies; the fabulous wedge-shaped building that houses Sneaky Dragon; the now defunct Fox Theatre and porn theatre etiquette – with a little more info on the famous Scott Baio mural in the ladies’ washroom; a call-back to a long ago Happy Days discussion; mucho about porn; the banality of stripping; and we end the show with a fun trawl through Robin’s Top Twenty Best Films of 2016 as listed on his LiveJournal page.

It was great having Robin on the show this week. Please check out Cinema Sewer, his two (count ’em) two collections of Seventies porn posters Cheap Thrills, the Cinema Sewer podcast and his new colouring book. Phew! Busy guy!

Here is the a short clip from the Whit Stillman film Metropolitan with the Dave-pleasing Fourier reference:

Some of the films we discussed are a little obscure so here are the trailers for some of them:

TurboKid

A Most Violent Year

What We Do In The Shadows

Okay…be warned: This clip from Robin’s 18th pick of his 20 Best Films of 2015 is VERY graphic – including naked body parts, bodily fluids and body tattoos:

  1. Hey, Ian. I’m just being your basic pedantic internet wiener here, but you mentioned Tom Bosley being in “Love and the Happy Days,” but Harold Gould actually played Howard Cunningham in the pilot. I remember it because I saw the pilot after I became a fan of the series and the alter-dad rubbed me the wrong way as a kid.

  2. $2.75 to see 3 movies in a row at the Paradise Theatre seemed like a great deal — until you actually sat through 3 movies in a row at the Paradise Theatre! I only did that once. Most uncomfortable seats in town! Speaking of uncomfortable, I saw that Festival of Commercials you mentioned (was I one of the nerds you saw it with?) To be fair to the Paradise, I remember the screening was rated Restricted (no one under 18). I probably assumed that meant there would be some cheeky foreign commercials with brief glimpses of nudity. I should’ve known that when u and me assume, we can end up seeing a lot of ass. I misremembered one of the trailers as being for a film called, “I Love You, Sweet Pumpkin.” Consulting IMDb.com, it must’ve been for “Sweet Punkin’, I Love You” written and directed by Roberta Finley under the pseudonym Robert Norman. I didn’t realize there were women directing X-rated movies back then.

      1. I was talking to my guy and if we’re talking about the same screening, he remembers it was a compilation of Hollywood movie trailers. We were there with Gary J. and his then-wife. I imagine it was an awkward moment on that double date when the XXX trailers came on. I have to imagine because I seem to have blocked it out of my mind.
