nudism

Smut and Django are at the Cannes Film Festival (technically the Marche - Market) to meet with distributors and sign deals. There was a great article in Variety about the latest batch of Cultpix deals, which mean that we have over 250 more films to add later this year, with some real cult classics. 

This episode is the third devoted to Doris Wishman, focusing on the sun-soaked 'Daylight Years' and early nudist films. As one of the most prolific women filmmakers in the history of American cinema, "writer-director-editor Wishman created collisions between surrealism and exploitation that feel like they materialized from an alternate universe."

Smut interviews film historian Michael J. Bowen who met and knew Doris, as well as having researched her career for years as her biographer. 

The films of The Daylight Years are gorgeously restored by AGFA + Something Weird Video. They include:

"Nude on the Moon" (1961) - Wishman's dreamlike sci-fi triumph about a trip to a nudist-inhabitet moon.

"Blaze Starr Goes Nudist" (1962) - The famous burlesque dancer discovers the joy in nudism and escapes down to Florida.  

"Hideout in the Sun" (1960) - A crackpot nudie-noir in which two gangsters on the run decide to hide in plain sight at a nudist resort. 

"Gentlemen Prefer Nature Girls" (1963) - Tom is fired from his real-estate job when his boss discovers that he is a nudist, but he hatches a very nudist revenge plan.

"Diary of a Nudist" (1961) - Newspaper editor stumbles on nudist camp and commissions young female reporter to write exposé about the sordid lifestyle. 

"The Prince and the Nature Girl" (1965) - A prince escapes his castle and falls in love with a woman who turns out to be a nudist. 

Enjoy all these films and the other Doris Wishman films on Cultpix. 

There is a Spotify playlist of 13 nudie songs from Doris Wisman's films and three clips where you hear Doris speak. 

Throw on some sunscreen and grab your mosquito spray, we’re going to Florida! Haley & Kayleigh read ads from Orlando, Cape Canaveral, and Pasco County. Help us choose between a gay nudist tour guide, Xena the Warrior princess, and the vegetarian aesthete. It’s probably one of the most ‘90s centered episodes yet!

Naturism is simply taking off your clothes.

British Naturism is a group dedicated to spreading the joys of doing things naked. Swimming? Dancing? Axe throwing? Sure! And you can do all that (and so much more) at the groups annual Nudefest, happening this summer. We talked with Andrew Welch from British Naturism about the joys of being naked and all the things the group is doing to share the joy of being naked with everyone.

For more information about Nudefest or British Naturism, you can check out their website, follow them on Facebook, or follow them on Twitter.

We're all looking for some peace in a crazy world. Maybe naked yoga is just the thing. We talked with Doria, who has her own naked yoga studio in London and who also teaches on-line and around the world.

The conversation was a fascinating dive into spirit, outlook and acceptance. For more information, you can visit Doria's website to book a class (either on-line or in person) or to order her book about her journey to naked yoga.

Plus, we try to figure out why Supertramp is in our dreams and why sex toys don't make the best devices for cheating in competitions.

In this special episode Reggie joins Kyle and Lilly on their podcast "Speak Seductively" to talk about the lifestyle, nudism and naturism . You can find their show on Spotify, Anchor and wherever you find your favorite podcasts!

Listener Warning: This episode features the repeated use of the word "moist."  Don't be too scared though, Amanda North and I also discuss less-controversial topics like human cages, fantasy funerals, and making amateur porn.  This beautiful erotic model and photographer also ranks her favorite places to pose nude... from an incredibly odd list of options I present her with... because this is Sexie Show.

Clearly, it's hot enough in most of the world right now, that taking off your clothes sounds like a brief respite from the oppressive heat. And, if you're naked, why not have some fun? The White Thorn Lodge, located near Pittsburgh has been hosting the Super Bowl of Naked Volleyball the week after Memorial Day.

We get all the info on why volleyball, how you join in the fun and the joys of nudism. If you're intrigued, maybe this is the weekend to give it a shot. For more information, check out the White Thorn's website.

Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler adopt their most outrageous French accents in honour of attending the Festival Lumiere and MIFC (International market for classic films) in Lyon, France, where cinema was born 125 years ago. We have had meetings with film libraries and rights holders from all over the world, who first try to sell us their beautifully restored 4K masters of the classics of cinema. We tell them, 'no, give us your dirtiest horror and exploitations films, the bottom of the barrel.'

In the end it was amazingly productive and we have leads with a dozen or so title holders, so expect east European science fiction and south European thrillers in the months to come. We also made many new friends and saw a lot of interest for the 'Do You Believe In Swedish Sin' book, that will be appearing in film book shops all over Europe soon.

There is a quick plug for this coming Cult Tuesday screening with Everyman Cinemas in the UK of "She Freak" (1967) with a special introduction by Karen Krizanovich.

The main focus this week is a big haul of vintage exploitation films from the darkest recesses of the Something Weird Video archive. 

Thematically it is first 'Girls from the City'. In  "All of Me" (1963) is yet another sexploitation variation on the old Good-Girl-who-comes-to-the-big-Bad-City-to-be-a-model story which unexpectedly detours into Nudist-Camp territory.  "Babette" (1968) is a surprisingly subversive gem that aggressively celebrates sexual anarchy. "Copenhagen Call Girls" (1964) exudes a bizarre, almost exotic, mixture of grimy black & white sexploitation and Benny Hill-style humour.  But the highlight of Copenhagen Call Girls is without a doubt the groovy, inspired surf-guitar score provided by an obscure group of Beatles-wannabes calling themselves THE SHARKS.

The second theme is 'Girls from the country', with "The Night of the Cat" (1973) is a shot-in-Charlotte, North Carolina, celluloid catastrophe about a woman who becomes an avenging "catwoman" and takes on the mob. "Garden of Eden" (1954) is the "Gone With the Wind" of nudist movies! Sadly New York censors held up the release so long that when it was finally released it was overrun by less quality nudist films.  "Love Goddesses of Blood Island" (1966) sees an astronaut wash ashore and become the sex slave of the Love Goddesses of Blood Island, where previous male guests have been reduced to severed heads on poles. 

Last and without an obvious theme, "The Girl from S.I.N." (1966) is a silly sci-fi spoof with an invisible woman who keeps reappearing in the nude. The lead character is called Poontang Plenty, which has to be the ultimate James Bond knock-off name. The discover that the problem with taking an invisibility pill is that you never know when you might become visible while stark naked. 

Finally "Twisted Sex, Vol. 17" (1960) is a cavalcade of vintage trailers and loos, with D.N. and S.P. having fun taking turns reading out the titles featured, including "The Smut Peddler" (1965) and "The Ultimate Degenerate" (1969), which seems like an appropriate pairing. 

As always we play plenty of music, dialogue and clips from all the films for your enjoyment.

It's spring, the days are longer, the sun is brighter and the temperatures are a little bit higher- it seems like the perfect time to take off your clothes and enjoy your day.

We talked with nudist Matthew McDermott about his book How to Take Your Clothes Off and his work as an author and blogger to help spread the acceptance and understanding of non-sexual nudity. You can read his great blog and order his book from his website.

Hedonism II, an Abacus, and the Lucky Saxophonist.  Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1997 to 2005ish.  Because Jim ran lifestyle events roughly in that timespan.  We chat about his short porn career, lawn decorations, and possibly upset R.E.M. (sorry guys!)  Have questions about swinging?  Check out his group “Thinking of Swinging” on Facebook.

In this week's true crime episode, Sam delves into our long awaited listener request about  Heather Hodges, a missing mom with a really awful boyfriend. Then, Julia takes us on the wildest ride yet, all the way to Floreana Island in the Galapagos. Whatever happened to La Baronessa and her lovers, and when DID Dr. Ritter get to use the teeth? 

Direct from Cupecoy beach on St. Maarten, it's Why with our special guest nude beach enthusiast Harry Levy. Why does Harry love being naked? Does he even own a bathing suit? And what about sun block? We get to the bottom (get it?) of it all.

Charlie, Olle och Peter börjar detta avsnitt med att analysera en ovanligt doktrinär nudist och hans filosofi om barnuppfostran. Sen snackar vi även om världens hemskaste sociala media-app, NextDoor, och om sköna MAGA-snubbar som är otroligt stolta över sina black wives. Vi hinner även beta av Peters analysis av indiebandet Big Thief, vars fans hatar deras gitarrist, samt den senaste störda uppdateringen i McAfee's presidentkampanj. I veckans show'n'tell berättar Peter om Grönköpings Veckoblad, en humortidning som har opererat i 117 ÅR!!!, som drivs av en diplomatkuf, och vars texter både ger en Alzheimer's och fyller ens själ med en djup existentiell skräck.
