John Casssavetes liked to use real people whenever possible, and for THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE, which takes place in a Sunset Strip club, he got the best, Alice Friedland, a veteran of Sunset Strip strip clubs as well as adult films, seen here on stage with classically trained Meade Roberts.

𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗬 𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗔 We came across this early sighting of Malta, aka Neola Graef, from a 1969 Parliament 'zine called Cocktail. This would have been a very early shoot for her, and they're rather revealing to be from 1969. No idea who the lucky guy was.

We're hearing that the infamous "NUDE" devil sign which hung over the former Paris House Modeling Studio on Santa Monica BLVD has been removed. Opening in 1969 as Charming Girls, this classic den of iniquity was known as Paris House since 1972. No word on what bland boring business will replace it.

Linda Spheeris in Ed Wood's TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE, but we're drawing a major blank on the person she's hanging out with. Someone please help us, it's driving us crazy!

Leslie Winston from the @ultraflesharchives.bsky.social 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. We're going through the full-length commentary with Leslie Herself and taking copious notes (seriously!). If you don't already have a copy get on over there and grab one. We'll wait...

Our eponymous theater, the Daytona Beach Capri, being picketed by some poor misguided souls...

Hey kids, Uncle Spicy's favorite nephew pays The Sin Syndicate gang a visit, and babbles on for entirely too long about SHE CAME ON THE BUS (1969), IT'S...FRANCY'S FRIDAY (1971), NJ shot smut, a mysterious agent named Hal Stone, and a bunch of other stuff! open.spotify.com/episode/5Jxq...

Paula Klaw (Irving's sister) knew how to shake more flour out of a sack than nearly anyone else! Here's a selection from 1977(!) where she's offering 8x10 pics from (mostly) mainstream films that show some form of BDSM, for $2 a pop! That's almost $11 each in today's clams. From Bondage Life v1 #1

"Hal Stone"...anyone?

A David F. Friedman grindhouse double bill in 35mm! THE DEFILERS (1965) screens tonight, Monday 2/16, at 7:30pm paired with A SMELL OF HONEY, A SWALLOW OF BRINE (1966) at 9:10pm.

THE BACK ROW Fifty-three years ago last week Doug Richards' (aka Jerry Douglas) seminal all-male film THE BACK ROW opened at the 55th Street Playhouse in NYC. Interestingly that wasn't one of the theaters seen in the film itself!

And just what was Rev Billy Freakin' Graham doing in an adult bookstore? Honestly, he kinda looks right at home... From Gay, February 2, 1970

That time Uschi was producing and doing casting for Russ Meyer...Can you imagine finding THIS in the backpages of the LA Free Press?

A PLEA FOR LAURA Penny Arcade (Susana Ventura), one-time Warhol star and all-time infamous performance artist, has been shepherding a GoFundMe for Warhol photographer Laura Rubin for years, and things have taken a turn for the worse. [continued in first Comment]

From the Feb 14, 1969 FREEP, a Valentine's Day message from Matthew of Glendale. And if you're not familiar with Matthew (or Buddy) of Glendale hold tight, we're working on an article about him/them!

If you know, you know. Now go buy it 😉

In addition the RAW TALENT and DRILLER there's a general Valentine's Day sale at Melusine as well. So stock up on some naughty $5 DVDs! melusine.com/collections/...

We've been following this through the Melusine process and are so excited its finally announced! Get em while they're hot! melusine.com/collections/...

One of the vids we've posted on our YT channel highlighting music in adult films was included in this Spin article (from 2025)! It's certainly an interesting list... www.spin.com/2025/08/9-es...

For those of you in So Cal next Monday, there's an incredibly rare 35mm screening of two David F. Friedman classics, THE DEFILERS and A SMELL OF HONEY, A SWALLOW OF BRINE at the New Beverly. You kinda need to go, otherwise we'll have to send the boys to work you over. thenewbev.com/program/febr...

If you appreciate vintage smut this is an obvious must. There's nowhere else preserving and releasing this type of 8mm/Super8 stuff at this level, plus if you don't support our friends at UFA Uncle Spicy may send the boys to work you over... And you have already got the Leslie Winston set, right?

"Feb is always a bad month for TV sports. Football is gone, basketball is plodding along in the annual midseason doldrums, & baseball is not even mentioned. It is a good time for building fires, reading books, watching movies, & cranking up random sex orgies with the neighbors." -Hunter S. Thompson

Guess what Roger Ebert thought about DEBBIE DOES DALLAS... Meh, what did he know about a good smut film anyway! youtu.be/17Ig5U9R92g

DEBBIE DOES DALLAS Announced today from Distribpix, a brand new 4K scan and restoration from the original camera negatives of the infamous DDD! And Uncle Spicy's favorite nephew even wrote a little something for it. melusine.com/products/deb...

You can now go spend your hard earned dough on some formerly lost Andy Milligan garbage! Pre-orders are now online, you know what you'll do. severinfilms.com/collections/...

If you're out in So Cal in February you really MUST check out what's screening at the New Beverly. I think in these troubled times we can all agree that this is the very definition of A TON OF SMUT! And being the New Bev it'll all be on glistening, sensuous celluloid. thenewbev.com/blog/2026/01...

The release of the new Andy Milligan doc AND at least two of the lost films (THE DEGENERATES & KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME, possibly more...) is finally happening! We saw all three at Tribecca last year and can't wait to get copies in our gruby hands to pour over on our own. youtu.be/4-w4_JpWq_U?...

Can't believe we missed John Leslie's birthday yesterday (January 25). To make up for it here's one of our favorite roles from Leslie's long career, as The Beast in Paul Thomas' 1988 SOV release BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, with Mike Horner playing Scabble. youtu.be/5qrVHlATB3U?...

While perusing adult e-books over on the TripleXBooks site we came across this lovely from 1985 with one of our favorites on the cover, Alice Friedland, although the pic is at least 10 years older than the book! Here's the link to the book: www.triplexbooks.com/catalog/prod...

In her latest video 𝗛𝘆𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮 𝗟𝗲𝗲 talks about working for the 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀, working at their 𝗢'𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲, meeting 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 and 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗼𝗻, the death of Artie Mitchell, and how she survived it all. youtu.be/TM_cYVob6IY?...

𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗬𝗡 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗢𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗦 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗞𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗘 𝗟𝗘𝗘 Probably one of the more awkward interviews ever on the old Regis and Kathie Lee Show, at least for Regis! Marilyn holds her own with style and dignity, as she always did. youtu.be/zBEa8QNp4VY

DRIFTER - WOODY'S ADULT BOOKS In Pat Rocco's DRIFTER (filmed in 1970 but not released until 1974) we see the main character at the famous Woody's Adult Bookstore, which was still at 1702 N Western Ave. It's no wonder Rocco used this location given he gets prime billing in this ad from 1969!

Our great(great) grandparents were naughtier than we've possibly been led to believe! I found these lovely cartoons in a 1936 magazine called "10 Story Book - A Magazine for Iconoclasts". Also see the "Note to Authors and Literary Agents" in the first comment, and some photos in the second comment.

𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗢 𝗡𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗦(?) Yeah, we have no idea either! We found this set in a 1972 CinemaX magazine (v4/#4), but haven't found any films by that name nor with that type of "plot". It's tempting to wonder if Titus Moody was behind this, and doesn't that guy even look a little bit like him...

𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗬 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗘𝗧𝗘 Two First Wave icons, 𝙋𝙚𝙩𝙚 𝘿𝙖𝙬𝙨𝙤𝙣 and 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙮 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙮. This is the only time I'm aware they worked together, in fact Pete worked almost exclusively with his wife Jan Davis. This is from a 1976 magazine, long after both were long gone.

𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗣 𝗧𝗢𝗢𝗡𝗦 Gotta love the little things that would show up in the pages of the LA Free Press (FREEP). This one is from the June 23-29, 1972 issue.

𝗔 𝗡𝗢𝗡 𝗩𝗜𝗢𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗠 Uncle Spicy thinks we need more non-violent films. Like 𝗠𝗥𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗦' 𝗖𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗧𝗬, from 1971, which claims it is in the credits! With Sandy Dempsey, Keith Erickson, Candy Samples, Suzanne Fields, Sunny Boyd, and Rick Lutze.

𝗥𝗘𝗕 𝗦𝗔𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗭 One of the earliest adult film agents in LA, Reb Sawitz also found his way in front of the cameras in a handful of instances, both in print and on screen, including the Osco/Ziehm film HARLOT, and this spread from the Parliament mag LATE SHOW, June 1970.

𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗠𝗢𝗡 𝗚𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗛 For your consideration, a fumetti-esque cartoon from the pages of 𝘾𝙄𝙉𝙀𝙈𝘼 𝙎𝘾𝙊𝙍𝘾𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙎, v2 #4, 1970.

𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗬 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗝𝗜𝗠 -𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 A few snaps of early adult legends 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗲𝘆 and 𝗝𝗶𝗺 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁, from the 1971 magazine Saturday Date v 1 #1, from Marquis Publications. Notice Sandy's infamous Butterfly is on the wrong leg, indicating that pic is printed wrong!

𝙍𝙖𝙮 𝘿𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙚𝙧'𝙨 first directorial effort was the 1962 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙃𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙅𝙍 vehicle 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗗 𝗚𝗨𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗥. A pivotal segment was shot in the 𝙄𝙫𝙖𝙧 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙚, and the dancer who is accompanying Arch Jr's solo is the lovely 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙮𝙣 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙩, who was a trained dancer, actress, and of course Steckler's then-wife.

PETER NORTH DOC We can't wait to finally see the new Peter North documentary. Not sure on when it'll be widely available, but it is premiering at AVN on January 22, if anyone is going we'd love to hear what you think. youtu.be/2XrRnG2M6jg?...

If you're in the San Fran area check out this very personal "gender inclusive breast inspired instalation" from Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens.

In the 1973 lavender film 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗖𝗖𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗧 we get a peek at the 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙞 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙚 at 5462 Santa Monica, and 53 years later it's still churning out smut. Renamed around 1977 to the 𝙏𝙞𝙠𝙞 𝘼𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙚, in 2012 the actor 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗱 was arrested there for doing exactly what the guy in THE OCCULTIST was doing!

If you'd found yourself in the backwoods of Central North Florida fifty-five years ago tonight you could have packed a group of your closest friends in the car and caught a hell of a double feature at the now infamous 𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙣 𝘼𝙧𝙩 𝘿𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚-𝙄𝙣: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗜𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗗 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗜𝗡 𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗗 and John Hayes' 𝗕𝗔𝗕𝗬 𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗘!
