  • Episode 33: Harley

    Episode 33: Harley
    Oct 14 2022

    Harley is a curator, researcher, and the kind of person who could make any topic interesting. We settled on talking about the ups and downs of friendship. Harley is a New Yorker and she came to Berlin with her best friend from college, but things started changing between them after the big move. We talk about adolescent anger, what we need from our friendships, and becoming more settled  than you ever thought you‘d be. This was my first in-person chat in a while and it was a windy day, so some of the audio might sound off at times!

  • Episode 32: Male Nudity in Cinema w/ Alexandra Heller-Nicholas & Peter Lehman

    Episode 32: Male Nudity in Cinema w/ Alexandra Heller-Nicholas & Peter Lehman
    Aug 9 2022
    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!
