^ My interest in porn is mainly recreational, so I haven't had reason to watch any, which left me uninspired to read about it.
That said, after hearing the interview, I would be very interested in seeing his work. Given my proclivities, I would probably start with the one that had some straight sex too.

#20: Damiano, Lovelace...and "Lovelace"
RR-Deep-Throat-Rialto.jpg
This episode is such a refreshing treat for the likes of me. I am equally sick of the "Linda Lovelace is full of lies/feminazis!" narrative as I am of the opposing "Linda Lovelace exploited by evil pornographers/forced to do porn at gunpoint!" one. The narrative provided here is fair, balanced, and generous. It's also actually informed, with evidence and examples (!). Good stuff. It deserves a wide audience.

^ Nuance is always good, but the mainstream media and Hollywood seem incapable of it.

New episode: Helga Sven: Her Mystery, and Her Fan.

I'm about two thirds of the way through this one and it's great. I don't know much about Helga, but she really is a delight. And what a fascinating life story. I stayed at the Circus Circus for AVN a couple of years ago!

The Damiano episode is invaluable as a rejoinder to the heavy-handed Lovelace, a film that is particularly odd after the excellent Inside Deepthroat doc. Not suprising once you hear that Catherine Mackinnon was involved though. I remember being very impressed with how articulate and self-aware Damiano was in that doc and his son is equally thoughtful and well spoken here. I agree that the hatred dumped on Linda by some seems disportionate, after all it is at least clear that Traynor was very abusive.
The Uschi episode was impressive as her background was not what most would have suspected, very hip and intellectual.
The Sven episode is pretty disturbing so far, interested to see where it goes.

Agreed. The "audition" (rape) is particularly disturbing. Especially considering who was involved.

Trailer for Bible!
Scathing review.
Positive review.
Amazon reviews are all one-star or five-star.

If it is available at my local video store, I'll rent it, but I can't see buying it.

^ I got a screener. I plan to review it out of curiosity, even though I don't cover hardcore.
Just realised this stupid error - I meant to say I don't cover *softcore*. Haha.

I've just discovered the Rialto Report.
Fascinating interviews.

Finally got around to this and it was wonderful. I really enjoy listening to intelligent people who I don't necessarily agree with 100% regarding sexual politics/porn but who make me think. Really a great episode.
Also up today, a fascinating article, Whatever Happened to Gigi Darlene?

The Veronica Vera episode was really interesting because I wasn't that familiar with her and she was so well spoken and thoughtful. Would like to get ahold of her articles from back in the day for the mags.

The article on Gigi is amazing, what valuable work they're doing. Bad Girls Go To Hell is one of my all-time favourite exploitation films and I appreciate the mention of Darlene Bennett, my favourite exploitation actress from that era.

The Jerry Butler podcast was as entertaining and odd as one can expect from him.

One crazy detail in the Candida Royalle interview was that she worked with The Cockettes and The Angels of Light. Many of these interviews are a reminder of how closely related to the 60s and 70s counterculture some West Coast porn was.

Marty Hodas comes off as a real character.
I would take some of what he says with a grain of salt.
daily-news-July21_69.jpg
(To be fair, he said, "The day that the astronauts walked on the moon..." They walked on the moon on July 20, so it's possible that he was talking about the cover printed the morning of the big event.")

^ Great interview.
She writes a lot, and wants to make a screenplay of her life. Unfortunately, Hollywood would rather tell one side of the Linda Lovelace story than deal with nuance.
It's hard to even decide where you would focus a 100-minute screenplay. To the degree that the interview offers a character arc, it's "learning to live with manic depression". But it would be to easy to adopt well-established tropes about porn moguls taking advantage of vulnerable girls, and that was not the story that Serena was telling.

Lysa Thatcher, Sue Nero and Marlene all look great too. Love them all.
I actually really liked the Hodas podcast in particular as the business side of things needs to be documented as well, the shock of recognition when he mentions hooking up with Bob Wolfe, so many early performers stories start with his loops. I assume he's passed away? He must of been interviewed by someone along the way.

Shanna's demeanour in that interview certainly challenges many of the stereotypes about performers as do many of these interviews. That is just one benefit to having an easily accessible oral history like this on the net!

^ I saw elsewhere someone saying that could tell she was damaged in some way. Such a bizarre response. I guess some people are deeply invested in the idea that sex workers are damaged.

I think her lack of shame and honesty about her parents probably comes across as 'damaged' to those who insist on that viewpoint.
A friend of mine who doesn't know much about porn but supports sex worker rights watched the documentary that featured John Leslie prominently and she admitted to being surprised at how charming, 'normal' and happy he and his wife seemed.

I used to really enjoy her performances, and the multiple personality issue should make great interview material.

I also liked it. They discussed a lot of potentially very difficult issues, but avoided getting melodramatic about it.
I also visited her website, she looks great.

Didn't realize a new episode was up, the Ginger Lynn was good but covered familar ground. Marlene Wilboughy is underrated, always liked her in the New York films so that was interesting to hear.

Kay Parker is having financial difficulties. The Rialto Report has set up a fund to help her raise enough money to move into an apartment.
Please consider donating in this holiday season.
If porn stars earned 1% of the respect we give to mainstream actresses, she could retire on the royalties from her porn career. Since the world is as it is, those of us who enjoy porn need to show our appreciation to the people who bare themselves for our pleasure.

The Fred Lincoln podcast was really good, he came across as much less creepy than I expected although he's obviously a rough-around-the-edges guy. The ending was even touching.
