Porky’s is a 1981 sex comedy directed by Bob Clark.

In 1954, each boy in a group of Florida Angel Beach High School students plans to lose his virginity. They go to Porky’s, a strip club in the Everglades, believing that they can hire a prostitute to satisfy their sexual desires. The club’s proprietor, Porky, takes their money but humiliates the boys by dumping them into the swamp. When the group demands their money back, the sheriff, Porky’s brother, drives them away but not before he extorts them for the rest of their money, further embarrassing them.

In a subplot, the boys peep on female students in the girl’s locker room shower. Tommy, Billy, and Pee Wee see several girls showering. Pee Wee gives them away when he shouts at an obese girl, who has been blocking his view, to move so that he can see. While a few girls run out, most stay, finding the situation funny.

Although there is more to this story, we find the main theme to be one of coming of age. There are many movies and television shows that embrace a similar theme. In Porky’s, the boys are attempting to become men. In holding a mirror up to reality, this film does a poor job. People just don’t act like these boys in real life. There are perhaps moments where similar events may occur, but nothing can be sustained for this long (outside of movie reality).

This week in the movie closet, we chat about the film’s qualities. We were impressed by the actor’s abilities to inhabit their roles. The classic cars were another highlight. The plot did not hold up. Our overall rating for this film is 1.25 stars out of 5.

Bands and their Fans

There are artists and bands who are very well known for their very loyal and ultra-supportive fanbase. Some of those include Elvis, the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, and Taylor Swift. But what about when that devotion maybe gets taken too far? Anthony leads us in a discussion about the extreme side of fandom, both the good and the bad. We talk about some of our very positive experiences in fandom as well as a few darker examples. How has fandom shifted over the years, and particularly how has social media radically shifted the way that fans interact with their fans and each other?

This week we examine what it really means to be Vulcan, and we have questions. Are their native passions and aggressions actually worse than human emotions? Are Vulcans “superior” to us, have they handicapped themselves by adapting Logic, can they even function without suppressing who they are? We will explore these questions and more, keeping in mind the ultimate question of our own humanity and what it means to be human.

Earth Station Trek is a part of the ESO Podcast Network, Executive Producer Mike Faber.
