"I live my life a quarter mile at a time"
We are finally their. We just hit the highest rated episode of the early 90's Showtime erotica series, Red Shoe Diaries. Talk about things we were not allowed to see as kids. This is full of fast cars, insane Tony Scott level editing, sex, speed, and power plays.
As usual, Jenny finds the whole thing a bit ridiculous, and Zack is along for the ride. This episode is fast and furious, famiglia.
In other news, Minx is back. Get Starz and binge it. Red Shoe Diaries season 1 is streaming in HD on Prime with subtitles and Playgirl magazine is publishing again. We are not going to say that we all together caused all these things, but there is no convincing argument to the contrary.

Thanks for coming along on this journey through early 90s cable erotica with us. This week we take on the episode, Another Woman's Lipstick. Hang on, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
We have got lipstick stains, more of Zalman King's women-with-a-moustache cliché, and a wild dance with a full on floor lamp.
We watch the things that were forbidden in our conservative childhoods and teenage years and comment on them now. We had so much fun with a single episode, we are doing the whole series.

Guys... Joey is in this one.
That's right, welcome to the podcast Matt Leblanc. We are assured he is a loyal listener, but this time he is in the show we are watching. We simply can't imagine what it must have been like to be him or David Duchovney at this time. Both were making cable erotica for ladies but were just about to achieve superstardom.
This was a fun one. There were bike messengers, rich guys, flowers, elevator sex, and more. Come along as we continue our underwear ripping, foot licking, motorcycle sexing good time going through the catalog of Red Shoe Diaries.
Watch along with us for free on Tubi.

Ok, guys, this show has redeemed itself with this episode. We were on board, and then last week really turned us off. We open in a dive bar on a wet t-shirt contest, hop in a super 90s muscle car, and then listen to 30 minutes of a guy in a mullet try to convince a woman to love him without stopping so long as to take a breath.
Stay with us, here. This sounds ridiculous, but somehow they manage to make it work. Fire up Tubi, watch this episode, and come on the journey with us. Everyone in this episode is a maniac in all the best ways.
We are 4 weeks into this journey into 90's premium cable erotica and we are having a blast. Let us know what you thought of the show at the time, and does it live in your memories like it does for Zack.

Whoa boy... here we go... buckle up and pull over, people (wait does that even make sense, why bother buckling up if you are pulling over, oh well). Guys we are venturing in the the sexy, erotic themes of police misconduct??? This thing is wild and has aged... poorly.
This episode stars Denise Crosby of Star Trek TNG fame as a police officer who names off every male body part imaginable for 5 minutes and then kidnaps and assaults a guy because he doesn't notice her.
Join us for some extremely over-intense racquetball, so many different hats, and Jenny's repeated Bing Crosby impressions.

We had so much "fun" watching an episode of Red Shoe Diaries for our last episode that we decided to spend a quick mini-season watching this early 90s erotic anthology show hosted by David Duchovny at the same time he was making the X-Files. How are those words even a thing.
Join us as we watch the first episode, Safe Sex, which starts out as a second draft of 9 1/2 Weeks and then just gets weird. Laughs abound, there are tears on screen, and Zack gets a little hot under the collar.

Alright people, it is time to get 90s horny.
That's right, Zack just left streaming on upstairs and the algorithm decided that we should watch Red Shoe Diaries. Did we mention that David Duchovny was in 6 seasons of this weekly erotica show at the same time he was in the X-Files. That is a thing that happened.
Get ready for sexy fax machines, ladies starting to wear black underwear, lots of pearls, the freaking Mummy!, sax music, and Stella who is such a good girl.
Do yourself a favor. Fire up Tubi (I'm pretty sure it is legit) and watch a couple of episodes. They are 30 minutes and kind of sexy in a weird way if you can get over the fast food commercials. This is everything Forbidden Cinema is all about.

Welcome back as we look at the questions nobody thought to ask about National Lampoon's Vacation. We find out more about the careers of the child actors that I could ever have imagined. BDA's (Beverly D'Angelo) history is so much more interesting than we would have figured. And we hit tangents on everything from Conan the Barbarian to Mr Mom.

Pull over, folks... Zack has never seen this movie. We watched the original Vacation from back in 1983. Hold on, this movie has 80s racism, jokes about gun violence, animal cruelty, policing in need of reform, a lady we know only as a classic holiday film mom whipping her boobs out, cigarette machines, Harold Ramis as the voice of a moose, Anthony Michael Hall, Chevy Chase being mostly likable, a custom car build to be specifically ugly American, and a variety of roadside set pieces all across the American Southwest.
We get a classic road trip comedy, with a surprising amount of similarity to the script of Planes, Trains and Automobiles and we have a blast going along with the family. We also see the groundwork set for arguably the more successful Christmas Vacation. Hot take... Is that the best sequel ever filmed?

Greetings everyone. Sorry for the silence for a few weeks. We hope your holidays were amazing, but if they were a nightmare like ours, we feel for you. Ours were full of overwork, family drama, sick pets, and another round of COVID-19. Nowhere to go but up from here.
Join us as we recap the questions no one thought to ask on Gremlins and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. We wrap up 2022 and look forward to a better 2023.
