After over a year lost in the void, Criterionaut Joey is joined by a new co-pilot: Chris McCaleb! In a horrible initiation, the new crew dives into the deep end with a new movie from Salo director Pier Paolo Pasolini
Joey and Brian struggle to remember the cast of the prequel to Beyond the Valley of the Dolls whilst talking about the media circus surrounding both movies.
Don't let the title of the movie fool you. It's ironic. Oh, you don't get it? That's because you don't get art. Art is only for smart people, you prude. Prude! I AM NOT A PRUDE.
In an upsetting change of pace, Joey and Brian find themselves yearning for a strong dose of body horror to energize this post-war nazi hotel dramedy. It's not actually a comedy.
