Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 101 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject!
It’s a Compañeros Radio Network spectacular, as Heather, Matt and the Cookiem’n himself, David, join us to look at 1977’s Young Lady Chatterley! The All New, All Different Lady Chatterley inherits a mansion, its staff, and a diary, in which she reads all about the Original Lady Chatterley’s adventures with her gardener. So she decides to sexually harass her own staff. Honestly it’s kind of weird and uncomfortable, but also kind of weird and fun. Oh, and for some reason it’s got the third food sex scene we’ve done in three episodes. Please let us know if you’ve cursed us or can remove curses.
Alan Roberts, the director (and co-producer and cinematographer) on this one is far from a household name, unless you’re a Corey Feldman completist, or really into Lady Chatterley adaptations (or you’re really familiar with who edited 2003’s Grand Theft Parsons). Suffice to say, though, his story takes a few twists and turns and goes from ‘working on Burt Convey’s Racquet’ weird, to ‘causing international protests’ weird quicker than you’d think. A super crazy Softcore Spotlight this episode!

Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 100 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject!
Episode 100?! Who knew, four years ago, a plucky little softcore show would climb its way up the charts and into people’s hearts to become the number one podcast on that subject? Granted, it’s basically the same show as back then, but oh what times we’ve had. To celebrate, Compañeros Radio Network’s own Heather and Matt join in on a film about filmmaking: 1974’s Alice Goodbody! It’s somehow enormously disturbing and wonderfully charming - oh, just like Get Soft! - and most of that charm is down to one very perfect piece of casting in the title role. Also somehow this is the second film in a row we’ve done with a really horrifying food sex scene, which is maybe a sign of some kind? Hard to say.
Anyway, the perfect casting is the always lovely Sharon Kelly, aka Colleen Brennan, and there’s no one we’d rather talk about on episode 100’s Softcore Spotlight. She did it all: hardcore, softcore, exploitation, sexploitation, called Russ Meyer a “rude, grumpy misogynist” (harsh but fair), and was rarely anything less than an absolute delight to watch.

Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 99 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject!
Somehow we’re already at episode 99, and for this one we’ve gone back to Italy, for another weirdo sex comedy: Bruno Mattei’s 1990 film Three for One, aka Tre pesci, una gatta nel letto che scotta. Please keep that in mind because somehow we manage not to introduce the film by name until like 65 minutes in. It was recommended by our bud Erin, so it only seemed right to have her join us, along with Compañeros Radio Network’s own Matt and Heather. The Italian films we’ve done in the past have gone mostly if not completely off the rails at some stage in the movie, and this one is no exception. We simply had to spoil the end for this one, because it puts everything before it into context. But does it do enough to pull all the threads together? Listen and find out!
Plus, the life and career of director Bruno Mattei himself, a rip-off artist par excellence. You name it, he ripped it off, and he did it with style and heart. Less often with money, but that’s filmmaking.

Oh hey, we’re back! We took a little hiatus to move, but it started earlier and finished later than expected. But Get Soft is 100% back, with the episode we’d planned to do in February when Julie Strain’s passing was a little more recent. Still, it’s never a bad time to pay tribute to the Eternal Queen of ‘90s Softcore, and what better film to do that with than John Quinn’s 2001 feature Sex Court: The Movie! And what better guest to have join us than Compañeros Radio Networks’ very own Heather! Sex Court: The Movie is a movie, based on the TV show Sex Court. There are some pretty awful moments, and there are some great moments. We’ve missed this.
And of course, we talk about the late, great Julie Strain. There really wasn’t anyone else quite like her - a true treasure.

Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 97 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject!
The world lost the great Tanya Roberts just a month ago, and...listen, she may not have actually liked being in erotic thrillers much, as far as we can tell, but she did rather a number them and she was rarely less than mesmerising. One such erotic thriller is the only directorial feature effort by John Travers: 1994’s Deep Down. Roberts plays the wife of a jealous man who is involved in at least moderately organised crime, but what happens when she falls for the young, fresh faced country boy who moves into their apartment complex? Also, the jealous husband is played by George Segal, which is honestly very distracting. George Segal!
But of course, this episode is all about celebrating Tanya’s life and career. Long time listeners may remember we have already done this in episode 32 - we did it again, because as Pauline Kael once said of Roberts: “she’s a walking, talking icon, and she’s fun to watch”. RIP Tanya! Thanks for the fun times!

Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 96 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject!
It’s Don F. Glut time once again, so we’re once again joined by our good friend Texas Mike. And boy, isn’t this series really flying by! 2006’s The Mummy’s Kiss: 2nd Dynasty is the fourth and penultimate film in the series. The evil mummy Hor Shep Sut is revived for the second time in as many years, but this time her rampage is controlled by a professor whose desire for eternal youth has deadly...learning outcomes? Something like that. Once again, it’s divisive.
The subject of our softcore spotlight could not be less divisive, however! We talk about the life and career of the wonderful Stacy Burke. She only did a couple of softcore films, but she’s a prolific fetish model, and former Hefner girlfriend. More importantly for us: she’s a prolific YouTuber, with hundreds of lengthy videos in which she talks about her life past and present, her ambitions, her weekly shopping trips, and is just generally wonderful.

Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 95 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject!
What better way to follow up Forbidden Games than with a little Forbidden Sins? We’re joined by Carlo, from sister podcast Ball Busters, to talk about the 1999 Robert Angelo erotic thriller. It’s...divisive, but it’s a fairly tightly plotted affair (although opinions on the show vary as to how well it pulls everything together). The good news is it’s got a pretty good cast, headlined by the queen of erotic thrillers herself, the one and only Shannon Tweed. She’s as brilliant as ever. Plus, in Drew news, it turns out he was growing his hair long up until a couple of weeks ago for a tremendous Halloween prank! Did he pull it off? Listen to find out!
This film is one of a handful of softcore/erotic thriller efforts from the great Daryl ‘Duke’ Haney, so naturally we talk his life and career. You may know Haney as a regular actor in Corman films in the ‘80s and ‘90s, but you definitely know his writing from Friday the 13th Part VII. Suffice to say that’s not exactly his favourite work (and nor is this film, no doubt).

PATREON EPISODE -
In which Matt and Alistair explore the significantly strange world of podcasts, and look for the wheat amongst the chaff, and then try to learn from other podcasters' successes (and/or failures).
Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 94 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject!
Turns out there’s a whole lot of erotic thrillers with the word ‘forbidden’ in the title, and somehow we’ve never done any of them. Time to correct that omission by checking out Edward Holzman’s 1995 murder mystery Forbidden Games! We’ve previously seen Ed’s work in Pamela Principle 2, and he’s really got quite the cast with him this time: future soap opera veterans Jeff Griggs and Lesli Kay, future WWE wrestler Amy Weber, the late great Beckie Mullen, and the incomparable Gail Thackray. Gail’s accent veers from southern to British and even a little Australian, as the plot veers from outrageous BDSM murders to gentle horse rides through the Californian countryside to the burden of psychometry. The rest of the plot is a little on the confusing side, even for a movie expert like our guest: Squeaky Dave from Compañeros sister show Heavy Leather Horror Show!
Plus, we talk the life and career of the film’s star, Jeff Griggs! Now a silver fox, Griggs ticks a lot of the Get Soft mainstay boxes - not just in terms of soap opera fame, but also appearances in Power Rangers, and 24! He’s more recently been in Bosch, which it turns out Drew Buzzy recommends.

Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 93 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject!
It’s back to Joe Sarno’s brilliantly odd Inga series, with the second and final part in her story: The Seduction of Inga! We’re faced with the prospect of talking about it without the great and terrible Drew Buzzy, but luckily incomparable comedian and podcaster Fifi Dosch steps up to the plate. It’s a surprising movie, to say the least. There’s unexpected insert shots during the sex scenes, featuring bad wigs and unanticipated graphic positions, camera angles and acts. There’s also, out of nowhere, an incest subplot. Thanks, 1970s! Luckily there’s also cute musician boys, goofy late teenage angst, lesbian bottle smashing and some incredible Swedish pop.
And who else would be responsible for this pop music (which includes all time classic She's My Kind of Girl)? It’s Sweden in 1970 after all, so of course it’s a pre-ABBA Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, and of course they’re the focus of our spotlight this episode. Get ready for hidden pop gems, ‘80s musical weirdness with Chess, Swedish acoustic folk, and naturally, lawsuits against The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu.
