We saw 𝗜𝗧 𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗦 (2025) at the 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙡𝙢 𝙁𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙡 last night and can't recommend it more. Shot in N Florida, it will coin the term "𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓" when it ultimately gets picked up by one of the biggies. Sixteen hours later and it's still in our mind, and NOT because of the overtly scary bits.

working with Ken Camp to get both his and his best friend Jim Baker’s (BLONDE DEATH) work back out into the world again has been some of the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done — hope folks can make it out to see some truly astonishing films and videos

Buried deep in this info-filled post (see link) is the announcement of the November 2025 release of 𝗕𝗘𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗗𝗢𝗢𝗥 in 4K UHD, and it should be filled with extras! We've had to keep quiet about this for a while, so we're glad the cat is finally out of the bag. www.facebook.com/share/p/1CCD...

𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗬 𝗠𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗠𝗦 - 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸... We've just updated an article from way back in 2019 about the use of "𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙮 𝙈𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙡𝙢𝙨" as code for adult movies. In today's update we reveal something called the "𝙈𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙮 𝙈𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙚"... caprishowworld.com/archives/1108

Our friends over at VS/Melusine just announced TWO new sub-lables, 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗺 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 (yes, THOSE Mitchell Brothers!), and 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲, for Japanese Nikkatsu-style films. But wait, there's more! They also now have exclusive global rights to ALL of 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝘇𝗴𝗲𝗿's films! youtu.be/LfPXg-DsPhM

𝗨𝗦𝗖𝗛𝗜 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗥𝗢𝗡 We came across this amazing adult paperback cover, obviously featuring Uschi Digard. But what most people won't know is that the lucky guy with her is her actual real-life hubby Ron! Ron was known to jump into the action from time-to-time, we have several sets of both him and Uschi.

Just spent the last ten minutes chatting with Mamie Van Doren... This is something that we still are a bit surprised at being able to say.

For those of you in the NYC area Sunday, Uncle Spicy asks that you head over to Brooklyn for the Erotic Art Fair. And if you do go report back here! www.pleaseknockstudios.com/nyceroticart...

Nevertheless, Uschi

If 50 years ago tonight we were out on our own in this small backwoods Southern state capital, as we are tonight, we would have either been at the Campus Art (demolished) or the Capital Drive-in (demolished), and tomorrow night we definitely would've been at the Varsity (demolished). But tonight...🤷‍♂️

Back in the early 80s we we're a TI 99/4A family. In fact our first TI still sits in our office today (fuming it doesn't get the attention it thinks it deserves). But, given recently revealed evidence, we'll allow that we may have underestimated the appeal of the Commodore line of home computers.

From the 1967 film STRANGE RAMPAGE we get a quick glimpse of the outside of the Gayety Theater on the corner of 21st & Collins in Miami Beach, and a couple of glimpses of the interior, with Ann Howe putting on a show, and a rare view of the actual audience!

Our new restoration of Doris Wishman’s last-completed feature, DILDO HEAVEN (2002), has its world premiere this Sunday at Fantastic Fest in Austin! In the meantime, let’s flash back to this moment in television history…

Uncle Spicy wanted us to put out a press release (do those even still exist?) to address our relative silence, and explain that we're hunkered down working on two big projects which we can't talk about yet, but we'll promote the hell out of when finally given the chance. But for now, here's Uschi.

Always a good day when a package from 42nd Street Pete arrives!

𝗔𝗗𝗨𝗟𝗧 𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗔𝗗𝗦 Another round of adult ads from the September 8, 1975 LA Times, including a number of familiar films, and a growing number of "Adult Motels", wherein the punter, and companion(s), could watch adult films via in-room TV!

A handful of glorious LA smut from 1974, captured in the 1976 film MEATCLEAVER MASSACRE. There's a rumor/myth that Ed Wood may have directed part of the film. Well, in our humble opinion, if he did in fact helm any of it he would have definitely been behind these segments!

We can't wait to see 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀' 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗹, but we're also going to miss that feeling of being part of a very small group that knew, and to varying degrees appreciated, what Grand Guignol was (thanks to Michael O'Donoghue). youtu.be/fD9aphRcQmk?...

We were perusing one of the many vintage smut rags over at the 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 and were pleasantly surprised to see so many early adult actresses in one mag, 𝗫-𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔 𝗩𝗼𝗹. 𝟲 𝗡𝗼. 𝟮. The link is in the Comments, give it a go and see how many more you can pick out! @ultraflesharchives.bsky.social

‘Love You!’ (1979) – John and Bo Derek’s Folly: The Full, Untold, Oral History Out now – on TheRialtoReport.com They made a little-seen, low-budget, distinctly-troubled, physically-uncomfortable, highly-admired, completely-hardcore film: Love You! (1979). What happened?

Heads up, if you want to see the new Rocky Horror doc by Richard O'Brien's son (and why wouldn't you?) here's the current schedule for where it's screening. We're trying to get Uncle Spicy to play it at the Capri, otherwise it's a 5 hr drive. It would be a night out... rockyhorrordoc.com/buy-tickets

There's another great Labor Day weekend sale over at Melusine (aka VinSyn's little sibling) with new stuff everyday through Monday: melusine.com It might seem like we're becoming a shill, but I assure you we get nothing out of these things, we just want to share the river of smut that's out there!

Yet another release we were honored to play a part in, 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗬𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝟵𝟬𝟬𝟮𝟴 is on sale for Labor Day over on Grindhouse Releasings' site for only $22.99! Even though we're obviously biased, that's still a steal. (𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑜, 𝑤𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠). shop.grindhousereleasing.com/products/hol...

For some reason, this video of 𝗨𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗶 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱 doing nothing more than wandering around a Long Beach amusement park is one of the top watched kids over on the CSWC YT channel...

Today would have been Kay Parker's 81st birthday. She was one of the first names we began to recognize way back when we first started renting out of that little room in the back. We have a short, but expanding, playlist of Kay Parker clips for your consideration: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Happy birthday to Gloria Leonard! Never to be forgotten. She was fearless and fierce. She had beauty and brains. She IS an icon! Always in our heart...

A new essay by me about 2 classic 70s films about radio, THE NIGHT THAT PANICKED AMERICA + AMERICAN HOT WAX, their uncanny parallels, and how music is scarier than Martians. WARNING: liking this post implies you've read it - there'll be a quiz! projectorhasbeendrinking.blogspot.com/2025/08/they...

A few shots of 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝘆 practicing yoga while 𝗟𝘆𝗻𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘀 watches, from the 1974 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝘆𝗮𝗻 film 𝙄 𝙇𝙊𝙑𝙀 𝙔𝙊𝙐, 𝙄 𝙇𝙊𝙑𝙀 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙉𝙊𝙏. We've never really been in to yoga...until now.

Check out the latest 𝙀𝙙 𝙒𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙒𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨 post by Capri Show World's own head janitor, snack bar manager, and Uncle Spicy's favorite nephew, and discover not only where the 1969 adult film 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗧 was shot, but also which old-time Hollywood Star lived there! d2rights.blogspot.com/2025/08/ed-w...

One of Uncle Spicy's first commentaries (for ONLY HOUSE IN TOWN with the late Greg Javer) is included in this Hard Wood set from Severin, now at a bargain-basement price of $17.48 at Oldies. You get 4 features (2 w both h/c & s/c cuts), 9 loops, and 7+ hrs of extras! www.oldies.com/product-view...

The Arby's sign has been removed from its Sunset Boulevard Hollywood home after 56 wonderful years. A little birdie tells us it heard Arby's will restore it to install at a franchise not in LA. And the crane operator who took it down is the son of the man who put it up!

In 1972/73 Bob Vosse, then going by the name Don Brown, shot several adult films in the Eugene, OR area. In YOUNG LOVE he captured local musician and former college/NFL football player Jimmy "Yazoo" Smith and his band at the Raspberry Recording Studio at Oakway Mall in Eugene. youtu.be/5Aj8Ht8HTB0

We pride ourselves on knowing all the early 70s hot spots in LA, but we're stumped on where (we think) something called 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗫 was. Using the sign seen in 𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢 𝗩𝗜𝗫𝗘𝗡𝗦 ("𝘿𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙖 𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠") we found one mention of it in a 1972 syndicated column, but nothing else. So, anyone have any ideas?

Where the 𝗔𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 once offered its particularly raunchy services, today the 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚 𝙊𝙗𝙖𝙢𝙖 𝙉𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙇𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙧𝙮 serves Long Beach in a very different way, complete with an homage to the iconic spire that once watched over such smut as the mother/daughter team of 𝗟𝗶𝘇 & 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘆!

Twist our arms!
