Please welcome Asher Penn to The Carousel.

Asher is founder of Sex Magazine and the man behind the Delicious Tacos short film that Curtis Yarvin can’t stop blogging about.

Asher and I discuss the genesis of the project, Peter Vack, the quality of Tacos’ writing, and the state of sex in film and advertising.

As one of Tacos’ biggest fans, I fully support this project, and gave $100 to the Kickstarter. The trailer captures the essence of Tacos in a way I didn’t think was possible on-screen.

Why is this project so important? Yarvin puts it better than I ever could,

“[Untitled Delicious Tacos Short Film] is nothing less than a kind of supergroup counterculture event…Tacos is the Hemingway, the Raymond Carver, of our scene. It needs film. Peter Vack is a badass veteran of the NY underground film scene and famous for the infamous Mike Crumplar struggle session. It needs provocative underground magazines—Asher Penn is well-known for his SEX Magazine. It needs dangerous music—I can’t even mention the former name of musician Negative XP.”

Check out the trailer and give to the Kickstarter here. There are only a few days left!
