Podcast appearances and mentions of misty beethoven

Rob King returns to the podcast. He is a professor of film and media studies at Columbia University's School of the Arts. He is the author of "Hokum! The Early Sound Slapstick Short and Depression-Era Mass Culture" (2017) and "The Fun Factory: The Keystone Film Company and the Emergence of Mass Culture" (2009). And now Rob has a new book "Man of Taste: The Erotic Cinema of Radley Metzger" (Columbia University Press, 2025). We are joined by novelist Cathy Brown who has some background behind the camera in the adult film industry. https://youtu.be/9kvinUaOKKk Radley Metzger was one of the foremost directors of adult film in America, with credits including softcore titles like "The Lickerish Quartet" and the hardcore classic "The Opening of Misty Beethoven". After getting his start making arthouse trailers for Janus Films, Metzger would go on to become among the most feted directors of the porno chic 'era of the 1970s, working under the pseudonym Henry Paris. In the process, he produced a body of work that exposed the porous boundaries separating art cinema from adult film, softcore from hardcore, and good taste from bad. Rob King uses Metzger's work to explore what taste means and how it works, tracing the evolution of the adult film industry and the changing frontiers of cultural acceptability. "Man of Taste" spans Metzger's entire life: his early years in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood, his attempt to bring arthouse aesthetics to adult film in the 1960s, his turn to pseudonymously directed hardcore movies in the 1970s, and his final years, which included making videos on homeopathic medicine. Metzger's career, King argues, sheds light on how the distinction between the erotic and the pornographic is drawn, and it offers an uncanny reflection of the ways American film culture transformed during these decades.

What would happen if you adapted the stage play 'Pygmalion' as a porno instead of a musical? And what if that adaptation was helmed by a competent director and performed by an extremely talented cast? Even better, what if the writing was witty and funny and compelled you to actually care about the characters? Sounds like The Opening of Misty Beethoven might just be the best movie we've yet to review!Watch 'Frankie' https://www.frankieonfilm.com/buy.htmlFollow Vibe TalkinIG: instagram.com/vibetalkinTwitter: twitter.com/vibetalkinTikTok: @goodvibecinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@vibetalkinYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJIrLJPap8jyywZShlvGa5ALetterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/VibeTalkin/Hosts: Vic Terry, Manny Velazquezcontact: vibetalkin@gmail.comIntro: "The Money Shot" by Sex-O-RamaOutro: "Twitchie Feet" by The Soul MachinePhotos: Michael D.

Unwatchables is excited to welcome Jetta, otherwise known as Letterboxd's “theironcupcake,” to this week's episode! Our guest brings her considerable expertise to discuss the “Golden Age of Porn,” that bygone span of the 1970's where theatrically released hardcore films enjoyed commercial and even critical success. We start with 1973's The Devil in Miss Jones, Gerard Damiano's follow-up to Deep Throat that still stands as the highest-grossing adult film and even earned a positive review from Roger Ebert. Next up, we compare two very different approaches to pornographic movies: the zany, Airplane-style comedy of 1976's The Opening of Misty Beethoven, and the grim drama of 1979's Her Name Was Lisa. You can find Jetta on Letterboxd at https://letterboxd.com/theironcupcake/ Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

'The greatest pornographic film of all time' is from an era when its genre was taken seriously. Porn films got theatrical releases in the 70's, had plots, were high budget, and were reviewed and discussed openly by people such as Roger Ebert. Should the pornographic film industry be taken seriously today?

Born in the Bronx at the dawn of the Great Depression, a young man falls in love with film...and specifically the burgeoning European arthouse cinema coming in from celebrated critical darlings all over France, Italy and even Sweden, whose loftier and more visual (if not downright highbrow) approach to film would later inform his own strange career. From humble beginnings in film editing and dubbing, he formed the celebrated Audobon Films, responsible for the importation and distribution of numerous well known European erotic and crime films, only to use this as a springboard for his own directorial career not long after. Working a surprisingly lush and Decadent aesthetic in a number of jet setting European and New York set softcore melodramas like Camille 2000, The Image and Score, he eventually moved with the trends of the time straight into more pointedly adult fare, most of his films (as "Henry Paris") remaining among the most celebrated and enduring classics of the entire genre: just mention the names Misty Beethoven, Pamela Mann or Barbara Broadcast and wait for the praise to gush.   Hell, his work even made it to the permanent collection at MoMA... Join us as we wend our way through the weird and wild career of Radley ("Henry Paris") Metzger, only here on Weird Scenes!

Preservationist and co-founder of the company Vinegar Syndrome Joe Rubin joins us to talk about his restorations of classic sex films. Vinegar Syndrome can be thought of as the “Criterion Collection for porn!” And the quality of their restorations have garnered compliments from their peers who say that their work is better than what has been done on Paramount’s Hitchcock restorations! Joe also has encyclopedic knowledge about of the Golden Age of porn. This is what lead the Quad Cinema in New York City to ask him to program a series of classic sex films for their Erotic City series in the summer of 2017, where films like Bacchanale (1970), Bijou (1972), Both Ways (1975), the documentaries Changes (1970) and Not a Love Story (1981), Double Agent 73 (1974), Naked Came the Stranger (1975), Not Just Another Woman (1973), The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976), The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann (1974) and Scoundrels (1982) were screened. This is a wide-ranging interview covering Joe’s fascination with porn at a very early age, how he got into restoration while still in his teens, and why his company’s restorations are better than those VHS copies that you all covet so dearly. Joe fills us in on a lot of behind the scenes stories about a lot of the films screened in the series. And Joe discusses what bothers him most about the way porn studies is practiced by academics. www.vinegarsyndrome.com you can find out more about the series here: https://quadcinema.com/program/erotic-city/ New York Times article about Vinegar Syndrome: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/26/movies/smut-refreshed-for-a-new-generation.html?_r=0 pornocultures.podomatic.com facebook.com/academicsex twitter.com/pornocultures https://concordia.academia.edu/brandrroyo

The second episode of Hell’s Belles, hosted by Heather Drain and Kat Ellinger, concludes their two part conversation on the cinema of Radley Metzger. Radley Metzger was unrivaled when it came to mixing erotica and porn with artistic flourish. Working in Europe during his early days he borrowed from Italian and Swedish cinema to create some of the most beautiful erotic film ever made. In this episode Heather and Kat take a look at Metzger’s later films with a focus on The Image (1975), The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976) and Barbara Broadcast (1977) as well as unraveling some of the director’s key themes throughout his work in order to offer up a wide ranging appreciation of one of America’s most daring and artful independent filmmakers of all time.
