Podcast appearances and mentions of David F Friedman

Blood Feast (1963), Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964), The Gruesome Twosome (1967), The Wizard of Gore (1970)  When Herschell Gordon Lewis made his first nudie cutie film in 1961, nobody would have expected that he'd become one of the most important names in the history of horror.  But with the release of Blood Feast just two years later, Lewis and his producing partner David F. Friedman would invent the gore subgenre and would fundamentally reshape horror as we knew and understood it. And for about a decade after it, Lewis would continue to release gore-obsessed fare to grindhouses and drive-ins across the nation.  When those sorts of theaters started to fade away in the 70s, so did Lewis, who went back to his previous career in advertising. But in the 80s and beyond his fame was resuscitated on home video and in the pages of magazines like Fangoria and Deep Red where he became known as The Godfather of Gore.  With some help from Christopher Wayne Curry, author of A Taste of Blood: The Films of Herschell Gordon Lewis, we dive into four of his films and manage to talk about a whole slew of others.  Movies mentioned in this episode: Bell, Bare and the Beautiful (1963), Blood Diner (1987), Blood Feast (1963), Blood Feast (2016), Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat (2002), Blood Sucking Freaks (1976), Boin-n-g (1963), Color Me Blood Red (1965), Curse of Frankenstein (1957), The Gore Gore Girls (1972), Gruesome Twosome (1967), I Drink Your Blood (1971), Intolerance (1916), Jigoku (1960), Mardi Gras Massacre (1978), Moonshine Mountain (1964), Multiple Maniacs (1970), Night of the Living Dead (1968), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Pit Stop (1969), Polyester (1981), Scream Baby Scream (1969), Scum of the Earth (1963), A Taste of Blood (1967), Tarantula (1955), The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Serial Mom (1994), This Stuff'll Kill Ya! (1971), Three on a Meathook (1972), Two Thousand Maniacs (1964), Wizard of Gore (1970), Year of the Yahoo! (1971)

Lisa Petrucci of Something Weird Video joins Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler to discuss the career of David F. Friedman, whose theme week it is on Cultpix. (We completely forget to mention that Cultpix is now on JustWatch and PlayPilot!). The Prime Time(1958) - Friedman's debut films had all the hallmarks of the things that would characterise his exploitation oeuvre (spanking!) and showed how much he had learned from film maker showman Kroger BabbThe Defilers(1965) - Friedman "brought his own personal quirks, or fetishes or things he would be passionate about, whether it be carnivals, spanking or whipping to his films," say Lisa.  So too in this film about two juvenile delinquents who date and degrade women. He invented the term 'roughie', but also his 'best film alongside She Freak.'The Notorious Daughter of Fanny Hill(1966) - A period piece, for which Dave probably borrowed costumed from one of the major studios. One of only two films his 'discovery' Stacy Walker starred in. The Brick Dollhouse(1967) - More of a crime story, but with flashbacks where everyone is nude. "The pot party orgy scene is the most tame orgy you have ever seen," laughs Lisa, or a pot party through the eyes of a middle-aged square man.Space Thing ( 1968) - "The worst sci fi film ever made," said Friedman. "It makes Plan 9 seem like Citizen Kane." Judge for yourselves. She Freak(1967) - "She Freak is almost a documentary," says Lisa, as all of the carnival scenes were shot at a real carnival. The dazzling new 4K restoration by AGFA, "just makes your eyes happy." Probably Friedman's most mainstream film, which he put his heart and soul into. Thar She Blows! (1968) - A provocative title, to say the least, but it is David F Friedman coming up with a new theme for showing people getting naked: Boat Sex (with castration!).The Head Mistress(1968) - Dave going back to historical nudies. Dave liked to bring a bit of 'fanciness' to his films, this one based on The Decameron.  Brand of Shame (1968) - One of 4-5 films Dave made in 1968 and not one of Lisa's favourite films - despite featuring the original Django Nudo!The Lustful Turk(1968) - At the time it was the most expensive adult film ever made! Features spanking (of course).That's Sexploitation (2013) - Directed by Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case) it was a group effort to tell the story of exploitation cinema. It was the last thing Something Weird did with Dave and also the last film of Mike Vraney before his cancer diagnosis. Lisa also reveals the time she wore a nurse uniform and handed out sex ed leaflets to audiences. There is also a Swedish TV special with Dave and Mike. Lastly there is the time Dave dropped acid with Cary Grant! Plus an exclusive on Dave Friedman's unpublished book. Don't miss the Friedman Spotify playlist.

Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler have long been fans of Women in Fur Bikinis. These films roughly fall into one of two camps (tribes): contemporary jungle and pre-historic cave woman films. We have both! "Bowanga Bowanga" (1951). - A tribe of white women in Africa? You betcha. Fifties Glamour Girls in skimpy jungle bikinis! "Nothing less than the Single Greatest Jungle Movie Ever Made." (says SWV.)"Attack of the Jungle Women" (1959) - Developers from the Pan American Highway Commission stumble upon female tribes in the unfriendly jungles of Central America.  "Virgin Sacrifice" (1959) - Juicy little jungle thriller "Actually Filmed in Guatemala, Featuring Vicuni Savages!" Brutal opening scene of woman sacrificed by savages in ritual masks.  "Tarzana, the Wild Girl"  (1969) - Guys love Tarzan. Guys love tits. Combine 'em and you've got the guy-friendly Tarzana, the Wild Girl, a fun, cheesy, wonderfully stupid and marvelously bare­ breasted Italian jungle epic. "Tarzun and the Valley of Lust" (1970) - A rude and raunchy risque romp in the woods with wild animals, wilder women, and the wildest tribe of ooga-booga native stereotypes. "Trader Hornee" (1970) - A hilarious, big-budget sex comedy from producer David F Friedman ("The Erotic Adventures of Zorro"), who will soon get his own Theme Week on Cultpix.  "Jungle Blue" (1978) - Strangest hybrid of exploitation sub-genres: late 70s jungle movie craze meets crime thriller with copious amounts of X rated action. "Prehistoric Women" (1950) - Tagline: "Savage! Primitive! Deadly!" Stone age women hate men but need them for mating. Women capture men. Man escapes. Man discovers fire. Man returns with fire.  "Wild Women of Wongo" (1958) - Cute cave girls and beefcake cave men abound in this "enjoyable goofy cult oddity so amazingly stupid that it's almost profound.""Not Tonight, Henry!" (1960) - Nudie cutie where henpecked hubby drinks away his sorrows in a local bar and dreams himself back to historical romantic settings, all the way back to the sexy Stone Age. "Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women" (1967) - Peter Bogdanovich direct Mamie Van Doiren wearing seashell bikini in this second re-edit of Soviet sci-fi film. "One Million AC/DC" (1969) - Nudie caveman comedy with a script by Ed Wood! Rubber dinosaur tears fur bikini off woman and then eats her.  Fat cave man looks directly into the camera: "Tragedy is done."  "Cave Women" (1979) - Annette Haven takes an anthropological look at sex in the stone ages. "Cave Girl" (1985) - High-school nerd accidentally travels back in time and encounters stunning cave girl that he tris to bed. Listen to our rockin' Spotify playlist. Also the Norwegian James Bond parody "Jens Bådd" DVD and t-shirt are now available to buy.

Listen in as we dive into the first "gore" film in history. It's Herschell Gordon Lewis' BLOOD FEAST!!! We explore the exploitation film environment that birthed this movie that shocked audiences coast to coast! There's Egyptian lectures, inept cops, haphazardly composed scenes, and a big helping of gore and viscera! This is the first part in our four part look at the partnership between director Herschell Gordon Lewis and producer David F. Friedman!

If Cultpix Radio was Jeopardy, then the subjects in this episode would 'Misogyny', 'Coney Island', 'Shockumentary' and 'Double Bills'. Listen to Django Nudo and Smut Peddler go head-to-head in obscure film trivia knowledge! First there is celebrating that the Cult Tuesday season with Everyman Cinemas in the UK has got off to a great start, screening "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) restored in 4K in four cities. Three more films are coming this autumn and on Monday 27 Sep there is the second screening at Stockholm's Bio Aspen, this time Kult för Kids. We have a hoard of new films from our friends at Something Weird Video this week, kicking off with a gory double bill of "Carnival of Blood" (1970) and "Curse of the Headless Horseman" (1972). The former is what happens when a porno director decides to make a gore film set in Cooney Island, while the latter is like a hippie gore version of Scooby-Doo. Both seem to have ad-libbed dialogue.Shockumentary double bill: "It's a Sick, Sick, Sick World" (1965) is an Italian style mondo film: Queers! Drag queens! Spanking! Hookers! Strippers! Addicts! Strange habits! the narrator solemnly intones. Sick! x3. Then the most famous film of Finnish transexual Ansa Kansas! Half Man! Half Woman!! in "I Was a Man" (1967), a rare films about trans that might shock but actually has a happy ending. More misogynistic is "Censored" 1965, which claimed to be a compilation film of the bits that censors had cut out of films. Barry Mahon had in fact shot all the clips, claiming that they are what would have been cut out. It might also contain the first proto-Nazisploitation film clip. "All Women Are Bad" (1969) was never going to win awards for a balanced contribution to the gender debate. Sample dialogue: " “I don't like these women! They're bad! Evil! Degenerate!" Watch a man fed up with women drift through a seedy New York and ending up in Coney Island. Finally there is "The Big Snatch" () where expat Swede Uschi Digard is kidnapped and roughed up together with her friend Jane Sentas. Watch a different kind of 'clam' bake. As SWV writes, "Distributed by DAVID F. FRIEDMAN, The Big Snatch is a must-see for all card-carrying deviates."  A quick shout out to "Li'l Abner" (1940), based on the famous hillbilly comic and with an un-PC cameo by Buster Keaton as a Native American, as well as to the last film ever produced by Nordisk Tonefilm, "Tofflan" (1967). This title could be translated as either "Henpecked" or "Pussy whipped", though  we went with the former as the later might conjure up a sick, sick, sick film.  Finally D.N. and S.P. take turns in reading out the full list of films and clips that feature in compilation film "Twisted Sex 12" (1960s-70s). As always we play clips and music from all the film for your pleasure and delight. 

For the 12th and last episode for this season we talk in-depth to Lisa Petrucci, the heart and soul of Something Weird Video, which pioneered the re-release of cult and genre films. SWV was founded in 1990 in Seattle, Washington state by Mike Vraney, who was a projectionist and collector of 8mm and 16mm girlie loops and films. He started transferring and sharing some of these films to VHS, which earned him a call from David F. Friedman and a lesson in copyright. Thus Mike the film enthusiast/pirate became a legitimate film distributor, publishing the works of directors such as  Harry Novak, Doris Wishman,  Herschell Gordon Lewis and Friedman himself. The name comes from HGL's 1967 film "Something Weird". Petrucci tells us about her background as an artist and collector, moving from Boston to New York ("where I went down a rabbit hole at Kim's Videos") to Los Angeles and eventually to Seattle ("which was like going to Mars,"), completing her journey from high brow to popular and low-brow culture. She recalls how she first met Mike at the Chiller Convention, and how they started working together, until they became a couple and soul mates. Lisa picks her favourite films (tough choice!), including "Monsters Crash the Pajama Party" (1965, coming to Cultpix soon), "She Freak" (1967), "Shanty Tramp" (1967), "Psychedelic Sex Kicks" (1967) and "Wild Hippie Party" (1967), "Teaserama" (1965, also coming to Cultpix soon). Lisa discusses how some of these films can be 'problematic' viewing today, but that they are 'time capsules' of their era. But with cinema screenings of their films you have to think ahead to see if something in the films will offend somebody, "which they will, because Something Weird was set up to be abrasive."Lisa and Smut Pedler discuss how Mike overcame his reluctance to travel to come to Sweden twice and how it led to the birth of Klubb Super 8, which in turn led to Cultpix. How Mike could be demanding, but forced KS8 to "get its shit together." Mike was then diagnosed with lung cancer and Lisa talks movingly about making the most of his last year and days. After Mike's passing Lisa and SWV was lucky to get contacted by Alamo Drafthouse and how Tim League and AGFA - American Genre Film Archive stepped in with a proposal to represent some of the titles. Today SWV has switched to DVD-R distribution, as well as partnering streamers such as Cultpix, Nightflight and The Film Detective.  And we finish by revealing who the new 40 Thieves of cult film are. This the 12th episode marks the end of the first season of Cultpix Radio WCPX 66.6 as we take a brief summer break, but we will be back in late summer/early autumn with more films, guests and banter about our favourite films. Drop us a line at info@cultpix.com with comments and suggestions. Have a great summer and stay cult! #WeAreCultpix

  Nothing marks the end of an era more potently than when the icons of that era pass away. The cold reality is that when horror icons pass away, they rarely get memorialized in mainstream arenas. So, I wanted to give an "Irish Wake", a happy send-off for several of the people who passed away over the last few years. The people who gave horror fans their First Kiss. Consider this episode the Last Kiss, a retrospective of the careers of writers, directors, actors, and illustrators and a final recommendation of their work.   I hope you enjoy the show!

Hoy Trasnoche no es otro podcast de cine. Es "el otro" podcast de cine. Para los que saben que hay mucho más que los estrenos de la semana. Conducen Santiago Calori y Fiorella Sargenti. En este episodio, a Calu y a Flor no les gustó nada de lo que había en la cartelera (igual se habla de Justice League), así que metieron doble videoclub, con dos películas que no se estrenaron en Argentina ni se van a estrenar: Ingrid Goes West y Super Dark Times. En el portarretratos: David F. Friedman, director y productor de cine clase B, exploitation, sexploitation y nudie cutie. Y el mito de la semana: ¿Hollywood discrimina a los gordos? Lo pensamos con el caso de Fatty Arbuckle. Seguí a Hoy Trasnoche en Instagram: @filmejuntoalpueblo.

In 2016 the streets of Chicago are full of celebrations but in 1963 the streets of Miami were full of blood. Anyone can walk into a nudist camp and point a Bolex at some breasts, but it took a mad professor (Herschell Gordon Lewis) and his carny friend (David F. Friedman) to think of ripping a sheep's tongue out of a Swedish model's face in screaming color. Enter Blood Feast.   On the latest episode of Tracks of the Damned, Patrick takes aim at the world's first gore movie (no, for real, Eyes Without A Face doesn't really count), and dives into what is probably the weirdest movie we've covered yet. A subversive neutron bomb of a film that influenced everything from Night of the Living Dead to Pink Flamingos, Blood Feast is what happens when 24,000 dollars and two soft-core pornographers collide with destiny in a motel with a concrete sphinx out front.   But Patrick has not only done a commentary for Blood Feast, but has a never before heard interview that he conducted way back in 2011 at Terror in the Aisles' Music Box Massacre 7. In addition to that rare interview, you can hear Herschell Gordon Lewis perform the theme song to 2000 Maniacs live with a band! Dump this episode into your noise biscuits!   0:00 - 12:16 - Intro 12:17 - 1:20:03 - Commentary 1:20:04 - 1:39:41 - Herschell Gordon Lewis Interview 1:39:42 - 1:47:11 - Theme from "2000 Maniacs" Performed By Herschell Gordon Lewis

Something Weird This Way Comes... is a movie podcast about campy and exploitation films from the 30's - 70's. Join our intrepid hosts Roo and Moe as they discuss the sex crazed... The Adult Version of Jekyll & Hide "It was sick then and it's still sick now! Dr. Chris Leeder (JACK BUDDLINER), a gruesome looking guy (who's even scarier with his clothes off), find the notebook of Dr. Jekyll in an antique store. The store owner won't sell it to him so, like any good physician would, Leeder strangles the guy. The doc anxiously reads the notebook and, in flashback, we see Dr. Jekyll (also played by Buddliner) turn into a Mr. Hide who jams a giant candle between the legs of masturbating LINDA McDOWELL, then gleefully sticks a red hot poker up lovely LINDA YORK. Ouch. But Neither the flashbacks nor the notebook's oblique warning that the formula makes "people appear as they really are" deters Leeder from mixing the potion, drinking it, and opening his shirt to reveal...an attractive pair of titties complete with implant scars! Lo and behold, ugly Dr. L has briefly turned into blonde JANE SENTAS (the wanton witch of the Hardcore Horror Sacrilege). However, when Leeder learns that a detective suspects him of murdering the store owner, the disturbed doc decides to make the transformation a bit more permanent: "I've got to hide...Hide?! Yes, the girl! I'll hide as her!" Hence, "Miss Hide," who takes the doctor's place in a groovy dress and white go-go boots. (After producer DAVID F. FRIEDMAN sent the publicity material out, a film exhibitor called to say he'd misspelled "Hyde." Dave patiently explained that he hadn't done a remake of an earlier version, and was instead, "selling skin, hide, pelt, epidermis, flesh, buff." "Oh," the exhibitor replied, "I get it.") Leeder's nurse and paramour (legendary porn princess RENE BOND) quickly gets into a catfight with Miss Hide which, just as quickly, escalates into some heavy-duty muff munching. Then Miss H picks up a sailor at a bar and, for laughs, cuts off his dick. On a roll, she next pays a visit to Leeder's bitchy fiancÈ and decides to abruptly cancel the wedding... I remember seeing both The Adult Jekyll & Hide and Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde within weeks of each other in 1972. Though the Hammer film was fun, it was this diseased puppy that remained embedded in my brain. Yes, kiddies, there was a time in America when you could go to the movies and actually see all kinds of sick and outrageous stuff up there on the silver screen and if anyone dared utter the words "politically correct" they would've been beaten to death. Sigh..." --Frank Henenlotter Come listen to Moe and Roo discuss how much we absolutely LOVE it! If you like camp and silly movies join us on Facebook, you won't regret it!

The Acid Eaters - Buxom skin-goddess Pat Barrington (Mantis in Lace) is just one of THE ACID EATERS, a bunch of 9-to-5 working stiffs who become drug-crazed bikers on the weekend! After Miss Barrington kills a gal pal in catfight and the deceased inexplicably returns as a girlfriend for wacky artist Artie, the group enters a pyramid made of giant LSD sugar cubes (!) which is also the entrance to Hell (!!) where Artie suddenly turns into The Devil (!!!) and everything explodes into one big Acid Orgy...whoa. Easily the Sixties' most insane mix of sexploitation and psychedelia, David F. Friedman's THE ACID EATERS is soooooo out there that even the strongest of minds may become unhinged.

The Memphis underground filmmaker, documentarian, comic book artist, and sculptor behind Guerrilla Monster Films is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his Cramps-endorsed noir classic, “Teenage Tupelo.” This semi-auto-bio-sexploitation-comedy-drama reimagining the director's origin story is getting the royal treatment, with a new Blu-ray edition, a soundtrack LP, and a book about the movie and the makeshift creative community that came together to make it. Mike has an almost mystical connection to the midcentury pop culture of comic books, drive-in movies and rock and roll. He also has a knack for talking starlets out of their tops. In his words, nudity is the ultimate location. Topics include a new intro, distractions, a blog, a mood swing, Jerry Stiller, Fred Willard, a genetic taint, Tracey's Bar, reopening, “The Sore Losers,” B movies, Doris Wishman, David F. Friedman, Elvis as inspiration, Memphis, Tupelo, self-mythologizing, movie posters, art bootcamp, Scopitones, the Antenna club, casting, art school, leaving home, a comedy obit, “Native Son,” a sculpture, Amy LaVere, a family reunion, historic preservation, classic rock, Fleetwood Mac, the Faces, Kristen Hobbs, the Cramps at Sun Studio, a legacy, willpower, “Cadavera,” a location scam, the MGM backlots, Dr. Nick, an autopsy, death of the dream, making fun, an art school documentary, and much more.
