CONTENT WARNING: DISCUSSION OF RACIAL VIOLENCE Bret stops by the ol' apartment to talk about his time in Lune so far, and what Lune The Band even means at this point. We also talk about the KR trial verdict, and what White CIS/CIS passing masculine folks should be thinking about and doing. We get into some complicated places with complicated answers...or no answers. We deconstruct ourselves a bit, and even the band we both play in. It's a good conversation.

In the year 2020, much of the film industry ground to a halt as the pandemic took hold of the world. As lockdowns went on, we saw the storytellers embrace the possibilities of audio-drama.

In the years when Hollywood was under the tight control of the Production Code Authority, a new breed of movie mercenary-impresario brazenly broke every rule on depicting taboo subjects (primarily sex, drugs and childbirth) in films produced under the auspices of being morally uplifting. More carny showmen than movie moguls, wily entrepreneurs like Kroger Babb and Dwain Esper exhibited these films “roadshow” style, with garish lobby displays, live lectures and souvenirs. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Bret Wood, vice of the film distribution company Kino Lorber talks about curating a new series at Film Forum celebrating this absurd movement in film history entitled “Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Picture.”
