  • Summary

  • And now for something completely different. I sat down with film professor Prof. Peter Lehman and horror scholar Dr. Alexandra Heller-Nicholas to discuss male nudity in cinema. We discuss our connections with the topic, the phallus vs the penis, rape revenge, the pitfalls of “respectable cinema,” the prosthetic penis and a lot more. I’m so glad and grateful that I had a chance to talk to these bona fide experts about a topic that I have been wondering about for a very long time. I hope you take something away from this unusual film exploration.  A Selection of Peter Lehman’s Work:  Running Scared: Masculinity and the Representation of the Male Body  Masculinity: Bodies, Movies, Culture  Pornography: Film and Culture  Peter Lehman’s Arizona State University Profile A Selection of Alexandra Heller-Nicholas’ Work: Rape-Revenge Films: A Critical Study  1000 Women In Horror, 1895-2018  The Giallo Canvas: Art, Excess and Horror Cinema  Alexandra Heller-Nicholas’ Website  Watching Rape, the book Alexandra mentions  Wesley Morris’ NY Times article on Black male sexuality  Films mentioned:  The Virgin Spring (1960)Drive, He Said (1971) Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971)Last House on the Left (1972)I Spit On Your Grave (1978)Sweet Savage (1979) A Room With A View (1985)Drifting Into Chaos (1989)The Pillow Book (1996)Traps (1998) Baise Moi (2000)Irreversibel (2002)Django Unchained (2012)Promising Young Woman (2020) PVT Chat (2020) Zola (2020) Minx (2022-)  Kevin Bacon’s penis PSA  Lastly, thank you to Karolin Schnoor for all the support and for making the brilliant illustration!
