The Sin Syndicate

• Earn Your Money, Koichi

  The theme is respect yourself. For Episode 25, "Earn Your Money, Koichi," The Sin Syndicate are peering through the two-way mirror at producer/distributor Bob Cresse's Japanese sexploitation pick-up, The Bite (1966). Directed by pink film pioneer Kan Mukai, this early B&W eroduction was purchased for $4,000, re-dubbed, and re-distributed to adults only theaters by Cresse's Olympic International Films. Listen closely and you'll hear sexploitation regular John Alderman as the voice of our protagonist, Koichi, a Sun Tribey young gigolo forced to degrade himself for the pleasure of voyeuristic couples on the other side of the glass. But when Koichi falls for a waitress used in his madam's live peep shows, the walls start closing in as fists are thrown, jail time is served, and a sick mother desperately needs money for an operation. Joining us to talk about the separate but not dissimilar worlds of Japanese and American sexploitation are Christopher and Dakota of the Two in the Pinku podcast, bringing their expertise to an informal discussion about the early years of independently produced pink film, what lens we should view these movies today, and the circumstances that led Cresse to unleashing several of these productions to American grindhouses. Remove the wall covering, hold your lover tight, and join us for a leering look into a world of male prostitution, shotgun revenge, fondling on sailboats, and wearing sunglasses in the night club. Links:Subscribe to our PatreonInstagram with us at The Sin SyndicateFollow us on Letterboxd: Gentry & CaseyListen to other podcasts on Someone's Favorite ProductionsCheck out Something Weird VideoContact us: [email protected] Links:Special thanks: Christopher Velasco & Dakota NootListen and follow Two in the PinkuPurchase Sex and Fury from TerracottaPurchase Tokyo Emmanuelle from 88 Films

• Vortex of Voluptuousness

  Lick the end of that paint brush. Tie that electrical cord a little tighter. Rub that ice cube counterclockwise over your left breast. We're entering the "Vortex of Voluptousness" for Episode 24 of The Sin Syndicate podcast—peering into New York City apartments filled with sex games, body painting, banana nibbling and general absurd degradation—with a look at two films from director Joel Landwehr (pseudonym "Leo J. Rhewdnal"), In Hot Blood (1968) and Fluctuations (1970).The former is the story of an ordinary girl with an extraordinary body seduced by a big city modeling job, slowly descending into bondage, methadrone and lesbianism. The latter is an avante-garde depiction of a smut novel leaping off the page with a karate kick and a golden shower. Join us on this grimy trip to the poetic gutters of NYC as we scratch the true crime surface of Landwehr's sad end, and look at the unique circumstances that bred such strange, erotic filth. This is one rendezvous with death you won't want to miss. Bring your own purse hatchet. Leave the methadrine at home.Links:Subscribe to our PatreonWatch In Hot Blood & Fluctuations on CultpixInstagram with us at The Sin SyndicateFollow us on Letterboxd: Gentry & CaseyListen to other podcasts on Someone's Favorite ProductionsCheck out Something Weird VideoContact us: [email protected] thanks: John Charles & Shawn Langrick

• New Thrill at Old Castle

  It’s all fun and games at the black magic bacchanal until someone holds a heated plate to your chest with a hungry rat inside. The Sin Syndicate conclude their horrotic Halloween series with Episode 23, “New Thrill at Old Castle,” at look at Zoltan G. Spencer’s languid softcore gothic from 1972, Terror at Orgy Castle. This narration-only bone, uh, chiller, features a bevy of underdiscussed beauties, led by Bambi Allen as the Countess Dominova, and with supporting roles for Jane Tsentas and Linda Marie as soul-sucking succubi. The less said about the men the better, but as is often the case, the story behind the film is arguably more interesting than the film itself, particularly when it comes to George Spencer Crilly, the man behind the name “Zoltan.” Join us on this Eastern European jaunt as Casey and Gentry leave no castle stone unturned, and no Saint Andrew’s cross unused for shackling. Recommended for fans of grapes with foreplay and sequined ram’s heads used for Black Mass rituals.Links:Subscribe to our PatreonWatch Terror at Orgy Castle on CultpixInstagram with us at The Sin SyndicateFollow us on Letterboxd: Gentry & CaseyListen to other podcasts on Someone's Favorite ProductionsCheck out Something Weird VideoContact us: [email protected]

• Let's Fantasy F**k Now!

  Just keep telling yourself, "This is only a hypnotic astral projection, Cindy.” The Sin Syndicate's horrotic October continues with Episode 22, "Let's Fantasy F**k Now!" Join us for an in-depth look at Psyched by the 4D Witch, a uniquely terrifying tale of demonology from director Victor Luminera. Largely a one-man passion project from the psydonomous man, this strange and often comical light and music show was actually a serious attempt by Luminera to break into the mainstream and further advance his experimental ideas about illumination therapy, feminine power and ethereal phenomena. It's fair to say he made some commercial compromises in producing a sexpolitation film where a woman pulls a snake out of her ass. But in the words of Luminera, "this is a trip without drugs." Listen now, get psyched, get f**ked, and watch out for the evil eye. Links:Join the community on PatreonWatch Psyched By The 4-D Witch on Archive.orgRead the info-dump Letterboxd reviewInstagram with us at The Sin SyndicateFollow us on Letterboxd: Gentry & CaseyListen to other podcasts on Someone's Favorite ProductionsCheck out Something Weird VideoContact us: [email protected]

• Uncle's Night of Tricks

  Someone’s playing this game for keeps. Instagram’s least favorite podcast, The Sin Syndicate, is back for the onset of scary season with Episode 21, “Uncle’s Night of Tricks.” In honor of October, we’re looking at director Ron Garcia’s Pandora's box of horrotic, Freudian depravity, "The Toy Box" (1971), a midnight party with orgies, casket play, magic boxes, and Debbie Osborne as a sleepy-drunk giant. In this episode we discuss Garcia’s strange career path from sexploitation director to David Lynch collaborator as well as dissect Super Bitch star, Ann Perry, a powerful woman both in front of, and behind the erotic scenes. Break yourself in, accept your payment, and join us for a kinky night in Uncle Ralph’s old dark house.Links:Subscribe to our PatreonInstagram with us at The Sin SyndicateFollow us on Letterboxd: Gentry & CaseyListen to other podcasts on Someone's Favorite ProductionsCheck out Something Weird VideoContact us: [email protected]
