Get ready for “Sex & Fury.” Chris and I recorded a commentary (as “Two in the Pinku”) for the most stacked release of this Toei Pinky Violence. It’s an honor!

Check out my booklet essay for the @88films.bsky.social blu-ray of “Tokyo Emmanuelle.” The film also served as inspiration for recent drawings.

It’s definitely a mix! There’s lists you can always check on Letterboxd to see if a film is tagged in. If you want to go further down the rabbit hole, a VPN works ✨

Aw thank you!!! Apollo My Love is fun. Satoru gets “serious” in a good, melodramatic way with his gay pink films. A lot of his films are available in Japan - but I don’t know if there’s been the interest yet over here. It feels really cool to see others dip beyond Sato into Sachi Hamano.
