Podcasts about Radley Metzger

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.

This week, we turn our attention to: The Image (1975) - directed by Radley Metzger.A film that exists at the intersection of art-house and erotica, sophistication and transgression. Based on the novel “L'Image” by Jean de Berg, visually striking it invites viewers into a world where power, desire, and control intertwine in unexpected ways.With Metzger's signature cinematography, European flair, and meticulous attention to detail, The Image is a film that refuses to be easily categorized. Its characters navigate an intricate web of psychological tension, shifting dynamics, and unspoken desires, all set against the backdrop of high society elegance.But what makes The Image stand out in Metzger's filmography? How does it compare to other works of its era? And what exactly is it about this film that has kept audiences discussing it for decades? We're unraveling the mystery behind this provocative piece of cinema - and asking is it any good??Don't forget to follow us: https://linktr.ee/BowchickawowwowTwitter: @bowchickawowpod @Goldie_goodhead @Vince_taint Instagram: @bowchickawowpodcastPatreon: Patreon.com/bowchickawowwow

Score, Radley Metzger's swinging mini-masterpiece, is not only beautifully shot, wonderfully acted, and hilariously written, it has more more to say with its progressive sexual politics than most prestige queer films coming out today.

Hells Kitchen brought the world two rather formidable things: my grandfather and the Sylvester Stallone. The son of...of all things, a beautician and an astrologer (!), Stallone survived a difficult birth and life on the mean streets of what had already become something of an ethnic ghetto to star in a notorious off Broadway play soon to wind up as a Radley Metzger film: Score. Following theatrical work with a number of walk ons and bit parts (including the infamous Italian Stallion aka Party at Kitty and Studs, Woody Allen's Bananas, Death Race 2000 and episodes of Police Story and Kojak), Stallone rose to sudden and unexpected fame when he scripted...and demanded the leading role in, despite studio pressure to use established marquee names...the story of a washed up never-was who made a surprise bid at the big time...namely, Rocky. Going on to star in several films in this franchise, he'd strike gold for a second time when he starred in a film adaptation of a hicksploitation novel about Vietnam veterans suffering from PTSD in a nation that looked down on their efforts...First Blood, the first of the Rambo pictures. Alternating ongoing box office successes in those two series with a number of interesting, but critically much maligned box office flop attempts at stretching as an actor, his work throughout the 80's and 90's would veer wildly between weird fish out of water comedies like Rhinestone and bottom of the barrel efforts like Stop or my Mom Will Shoot! and Judge Dredd to...er...Over the Top cop films as different in tone as Cobra and Tango and Cash, before once again hitting box office success with Cliffhanger, Demolition Man and the recent Expendables series. So join us as we put on our paisano, to take on the inimitable Sylvester Stallone! Week 57: The Italian Stallion: the Films of Sylvester Stallone https://weirdscenes1.wordpress.com/https://www.facebook.com/WeirdScenes1https://twitter.com/WeirdScenes1 (@weirdscenes1)https://thirdeyecinema.podbean.com/

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!

Ashley West is the host of the most successful porn podcast of them all, The Rialto Report. The Rialto Report explores the history of the “golden age” of porn in the 1960s, 70s & 80s by interviewing the actors, directors, producers, and distributors from that era. The most remarkable aspect of the show is his amazing ability to find these long-lost people, some of whom haven’t spoken publicly in over 40 years! He gets them to not only talk about their time in the industry, but their childhood, their love life, their adventures and their passions outside of porn. In this way, Ashley paints a broad picture of these people’s lives and reveals their human complexity that shows them as typical people rather than as criminal or sadistic smut-peddlers that anti-porn activists make them out to be. In this interview we talk about his childhood growing up in Italy, and how sexploitation and pornographic movies were shown and written about in the same theaters and magazines as mainstream movies. We talk about his first porn crush, his interview style, why he keeps his identity a secret, and his work as a consultant on the HBO show The Duce. We also get into this concerns about the academic work being done on pornography and his worries that academia is being too insulated in terms of not making enough of an effort to get its work out to the public. Ashely has only done two interviews to celebrate The Rialto Report’s 5-year anniversary, so you’re not going to want to miss this rare opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes peek into how the podcast comes together.

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.
