Episode 1 • Feb 22, 2023
Before the Hays Code
Maggie Mae Fish (she/her) discusses three early films as examples of radical portrayals of sex, sexuality, and gender. From the homoeroticism of Wings (1927), to the female empowerment of Ecstasy (1933), to the commentary on colorism and mixed-race relationships of Veiled Aristocrats (1932), these old movies were more subversive than you might imagine.
Episode 2 • Mar 16, 2023
Queer Subtext in the Films of David Lean
David Lean filmography explores queer theme though not gay himself, including Brief Encounter ('45) with writer Noël Coward, Lawrence of Arabia ('62) with homoerotic undertones, and Ryan's Daughter ('70) with gender-bending failed romance.
Episode 3 • Apr 20, 2023
Feminist Sexploitation in the Films of Stephanie Rothman
Stephanie Rothman began her career at the height of the feminist revolution, and despite directing exploitation films, she managed to infuse her work with compelling, progressive themes.
Episode 4 • May 18, 2023
Paul Verhoeven: Classic Cinema + Exploitation
Maggie Mae Fish (she/her) explores the work of Paul Verhoeven, the over-the-top director who melds classical film sensibilities with the ultra-violence and provocative sexual content of exploitation films. Basic Instinct (1992) turned the erotic thriller genre on its head, but haunted Sharon Stone for the rest of her life. Showgirls (1995) asked audiences to identify with the object of the gaze, which ended up being too much to ask at the time. Benedetta (2021) explores the dark side of Catholicism, and the realities of living an authentic life in a society where queer people are erased from reality.
Episode 5 • Jun 15, 2023
Steven Soderbergh: Erotic Intimacy
Maggie Mae Fish (she/her) explores the work of Steven Soderbergh, the director who revolutionized the indie film scene with his breakout erotic feature: sex, lies, and videotape in 1989. Soderbergh offers a more intimate look at sex and sexuality, with characters who search for authenticity in a world that discourages us from being our true selves. The Girlfriend Experience is a micro budget feature starring adult film icon, Sasha Grey, that looks at ultra high class sex work. And Magic Mike launched a wave of erotic films that catered to a presumably female audience.
Episode 6 • Jul 27, 2023
Cheryl Dunye: Pushing Boundaries
Maggie Mae Fish (she/her) explores the work of Cheryl Dunye, the first out Black lesbian to direct a feature film. In her groundbreaking debut feature, The Watermelon Woman, Dunye explores the history of Black cinema, plus the reality of living in the late 20th century. Her 2001 HBO film, Stranger Inside, is a gritty look at the prison system based on the real life experiences of female prisoners. Mommy Is Coming is a 2012 adult film about pushing sexual boundaries and queer taboos.
