Forbidden Cinema 130 - Beetlejuice - Going Deeper
Ok, we will be the first to admit that this has been a little delayed.  This last year has been our year personally, but we have fallen a little behind in this artistic side project.If you can read this, you are loved.In this episode we answer the questions that nobody thought to ask about our coverage of Beetlejuice.  As usual, Zack delves deep into what was going on in pop culture at the time and deep dives local newspapers and men's magazines.

Forbidden Cinema 129 - Beetlejuice
Join us as we continue through our coverage of movies that were forbidden (or in this case, maybe should have been) that have had recent upgrades, remakes, or sequels. Ok, we have made some recommendations in the past, but this is top 3 one of the best movies we have covered.  If you haven't seen it in 35 years (like both of us), go out and immediately watch it.  We will wait for you.  Then join us as we go full nostalgia and revel in this masterpiece.

Forbidden Cinema 128 - Beverly Hills Cop - Going Deeper
Welcome back as we answer the questions that nobody bothered to ask about our our episode covering the 1984 classic buddy cop action comedy, Beverly Hills Cop.Zack tries to figure out who Eddie Murphy was and how big of a star he was in 1984 (spoiler alert:  HUGE).  We dig into the numbers and discuss how this is one of the most successful movies ever made.  We also look at the very limited number of roles for women in this film. We talk about how Mythbusters ripped this movie a new tailpipe and go over the reviews of the time. Zack digs into newspapers and men's magazines from December of 1984 to discover a Christmas shrimp sale at the Holiday Motel, the Supreme Court hearing a case about the morning moment of silence at schools, a nude pictorial of Suzanne Somers, an article by Steve Martin, Alec Guinness as the spokes model for a tuxedo designer, a 4 color graphing typewriter, a 2-inch flat-screen TV, and pictorials of Lee Major's wife and daughter.

Forbidden Cinema 127 - Beverly Hills Cop
We are all hearing the theme in our head, right?   We watched Beverly Hills Cop from 1984 and had a blast doing it.  Thanks for bearing with us during our unplanned hiatus.  Life has really caught up with us.  We are going to try to get back to a regular release schedule.  Stay tuned.

Forbidden Cinema 126 - Young Guns - Going Deeper
Welcome back as we tackle the questions nobody bothered to ask about our episode on Young Guns starring Emilio Estevez and everyone else who was hot in 1988. Zack gives us a brief history lesson about the Lincoln County War and how this film is surprisingly probably the most accurate representation ever put on film.  We go in detail about which of the Young "Buns" actors has showed his buns the most on screen and can't even believe the number that Charlie Sheen puts on the scoreboard.  Side note, one of the actresses in an early sex scene with LDP is someone Zack knows very well from Battlestar Galactica / Jenny from Pretty in Pink (and is apparently the daughter of the bad guy from Ernest Goes to Camp, small world). We play a brief game to see if Jenny can name a single current celebrity that is the age of the Young Guns cast.  Zack hits up more numbers than you would ever care to know about the box office and release schedule.   In print, we see the issue of Hustler magazine that started The People vs Larry Flynt was on the news stands when this movie was released.  In Playboy we are introduced to Cooper Hefner, who seems to be much less of a creep than his father.  Zack also realizes that he was lied to when he was told he was in the Guinness record holding conga line.  Jerry Seinfeld makes a very poor prediction about his future. In the Washington PA Observer Reporter we cover a few current events, but much more riveting was the Friday Night TV schedule and an article about the ladies boxing competition at the local fair getting much more spicy than the children in the audience were prepared for.

Forbidden Cinema 125 - Young Guns
We are back and this time with a proper movie.  We watched Young Guns from 1988.  There were 80's heartthrobs all over the place in what bizarrely seems to be maybe the most historically accurate film depicting the Lincoln County War.  That's right, this is a biopic about Billy the Kid.   Spoiler alert, it is kind of serious and Bon Jovi is nowhere to be seen.  We think all of our preconceived notions about this film were from Young Guns 2.   Come along with us as we see a Fagan-like General Zod teach a wayward band of misfits about how to be cultured only to be gunned down in the streets by a business rival.  We get to see all of the shootin and cussin and jokes about bodily functions you would want in a film like this.  We have one of the wildest drug scenes in the history of film.  We get a little buns shot for the ladies from Coach Bombay that sadly does nothing for Jenny.  We get a less DILFy Dermot Mulrooney who nobody knew yet, so he has to just be gross.  Did we mention Lou Diamond Phillips and Howard Hughes are in this? Watch this movie and then come along for the ride on something that was even more forbidden than we realized.

Forbidden Cinema 124 - Red Shoe Diaries 213 - Some Things Never Change
One last time into the fray! We have done it.  We are now surely the internet's best and most complete resource for the first 2 seasons of 90's cable erotica Red Shoe Diaries. David Duchovny and Stella are back to read another letter from a Parisienne ad executive and her old flame / impossible to work with auteur commercial director.  We have (surprise) red shoes in an episode for the first time in forever.  There are random elevator shots, no crazy bedroom sets, stair sex, and a very low abdomen shot of our lead actor for the ladies. Come along for one last ride before we get back into movies.  Come for the uneven amount of time our lead actress's right nipple has compared to the left, but stay for the stubbled Jordan Padalecki lookalike lead actor tipping over chairs and screaming "Touch Me!"

Forbidden Cinema 123 - Red Shoe Diaries 212 - Alphabet Girl
Join us as we continue what has to be the most exhaustive deep dive of the nineties erotica for women cable show Red Shoe Diaries.  We are winding down this season hopefully to get back to some movies just like David Duchovny.   In Alphabet Girl we have a young model in a not terribly torrid affair with her famous photographer.  There is not really a love triangle with his young assistant.  Mostly everybody gives each other the space and time they need to grow, except for that one time where the photographer breaks into the assistant's house and they wrestle on top of a huge painting. We finally get an episode that is basically what Zack was staying up late to watch all those years ago.  We have really beautiful sweaty naked people in well lit scenes having sex for an extended period of time.  At this point though, we are missing a little bit of the wackadoo.  That being said, there is a race on a bedroom catwalk between someone on roller blades and a bicycle, so there is that.

Forbidden Cinema 122 - Red Shoe Diaries 211 - Gina
Damn Gina... This episode is wild... I mean the last episode was wild, but this one was almost incomprehensible.  Off to Paris at the houseboat next to the Highlander we get an American woman who (hopefully doesn't murder) and assumes the identity of her Parisienne benefactor.  It's the Talented Mr. Ripley meets a Harlequin romance novel. This was probably the worst episode yet from a technical perspective, but we are here with you to work through the trauma of this atrocity.  We are only 2 weeks away from getting back to actual movies. God save us all.

Forbidden Cinema 121 - Red Shoe Diaries 210 - Love at First Sight
Stop what you are doing, fire up Tubi, and watch this episode. I know we usually talk about stuff from our childhood that our parents would not let us watch, but this is something special.  This episode completely breaks the mold of the moody/broody/dreamy 90s erotica for women anthology series and goes bat crap insane. This is 30 minutes of your life that you will be happy to have spent with us. I can't imagine many people have watched this in the last 30 years, and they are missing out. We have multiple guns, people barking like dogs, oversized sweater dresses, a trunk full of zoot suits, shotgun weddings, scaffolding over beds, camcorder honeymoon sex tapes, threesomes, sex across 2 rows of seating in a 60s convertible, and sex scenes lit so that every single body hair on both sexes is in the spotlight.  Come along and watch this glorious calamity with us.  This is the lowest rated episode of the series so far.  Jenny is confused.  Zack is begging for more.

Forbidden Cinema 120 - Red Shoe Diaries 209 - Hotline
Whoah... This one is getting Zack a little hot under the collar and Jenny a little annoyed at the logistics. We have got an oddly traditional gender role world view from a guy with no sleeves and his new bride who finds work at a phone sex line apparently featuring Margaret Cho!?!?!? This one has snapping rubber underpants, some playful spanking, a Friday Night Special from Leather Lana, kitchen table lovemaking, and the secrets of Stella the Dog. Come along as we continue our deep dive of the 90s cable erotica for women extravaganza, Red Shoe Diaries.

Forbidden Cinema 119 - Red Shoe Diaries 208 - In the Blink of an Eye
Buckle up folks, this one is wild. We continue our journey through early 90s cable erotica for women with Episode 208 of Red Shoe Diaries.  This week we have David Duchovny actually playing for real with his doggy.  There are vaguely European things, lots of establishing shots of castles that we never go to, a boxing ring in a stable, and some sex scenes that we think may have inspired Braveheart?

Forbidden Cinema 118 - Red Shoe Diaries 207 - Liar's Tale
Hey everybody, sorry for the short episode this week.  There was not a ton of meat on the bones for this episode, but the Forbidden Crew are refusing to pull a Duchovny and phone it in this week. We have the story of a photojournalist doing a story on "up market" sex workers who make $1500 a night.  This one reads more like a psychological thriller where everyone is stalking everyone.  Zack actually thinks he could work this into a thriller.  We have a lady spying on sex, lots of red neckwear, so many still shots, darkrooms, car accidents, and more uneven nudity between partners in front of a 3 panel mirror.  We also have a huge lit up moon on the wall in the weird sex foyer in the huge Hollywood hills mansion of our astronomer? We have so many questions, and get so few answers.

Forbidden Cinema 117 - Red Shoe Diaries 206 - Night of Abandon
It's Carnival! Join us as we have establishing shots of Rio, some Wild On clips from E! Network, and then some close ups of sex on a beach (that we assume is in southern California). This one is wild.  We have some samba that is more nude that we think is actually allowed at Carnival.  We have a weird wine/blood orgy.  We have a super horny grandma, a lady who is definitely not Brazilian, and a white horse tamed on the beach.  We also wonder about the mechanics of a sacrifice brought back to shore by a hunky diver. Thanks for coming along with us on our deep dive into 1993 cable erotica for women on our Valentine's day vacation.  We had a blast.  Let's keep the party going.

Forbidden Cinema 116 - Red Shoe Diaries 205 - Burning Up
Ok, things are getting wild. We have sexy firefighters and the unreliable narrators who voyeur them in the shower. Are there any actual fires happening?  Is she setting these fires?  Is a steamy night with a veterinarian who is actually a "real doctor" what this lady needs, or should she look up some BetterHelp (not a sponsor). Come along as we wind down our Valentines binge of early 90's cable erotica for women.  David Duchovny would approve.

Joey is back!  That's right, we have the second and apparently last appearance of a not-yet-famous Matt Leblanc as a modern day bank robbing cowboy? In this episode we have people escaping from a bank robbery on horseback.  We have a kidnapping.  We have a winner-take-all highest stakes game of poker. Come along with the Forbidden crew as we start to wind down this Valentine's Day / Carnival week binging as much early 90s cable erotica for women as we can and giving our feedback.

Forbidden Cinema 114 - Red Shoe Diaries203 - Runway
Three episodes down in a week.  Join the Forbidden Crew on our Valentine's week binge of the 90's erotica for women staple, Red Shoe Diaries. Barely famous David Duchovny is phoning it in with Stella the Dog reading the diary of Amber Smith, a young fashion model who has a rendezvous with her cab driver. We see no buttons on shirts of any kinds, a Matrix fashion show 5 years before the Matrix, more natural lighting than any episode so far, butt crack hair gleaming in the natural lighting even in SD, and a catwalk finale outfit that would have fit perfectly in place at the Grammy's last week.

Laissez le bon temps rouler.   Happy Mardi Gras and Happy Valentines Day!   Join the Forbidden Crew as we look at Red Shoe Diaries 202 - Naked in the Moonlight.  We have some of the sexiest sex scenes so far in the series... but not much in the way of moonlight.  Join us as we look at a lady with a bunch of cars getting a boner for a working class dude.  There are lights dangling in the middle of industrial workspaces, open air showers, classic cars, jingly foley work on jewelry, and That 70's Show looking disturbingly like 1994.

Forbidden Cinema 112 - Red Shoe Diaries 201 - Midnight Bells
Welcome to Valentine's Day week and Carnival!  Plus Zack is on Vacation.We had an idea, we are going to try to do as many episodes of Red Shoe Diaries from the early 90's as we possibly can this week.  They are going to be rough edits, but we are going to go until we drop.Come back with us to the early 90s as (a now famous) David Duchovny and Stella the Dog introduce us to a middle aged Jewish man, his eccentric sculptor wife, and his daughter think is the voice of female desire.  In this episode the bad guy from D2 The Mighty Ducks and the girl from the Dolph Lungren flick Men of War meet up every New Years for a wild night.  How can this possibly end well?

Forbidden Cinema 111 - Caddyshack Going Deeper
Welcome back!  The forbidden crew look into the questions that were best left unanswered from our coverage of Caddyshack.  We are back in 1980, people.  We find newspapers from the week this film came out (the week Zack was born) and see what is going on in the world... spoiler alert... the world sucks in 1980. We pause and take a look at the career of Harold Ramis, a man with 4 films on AFI's top 100 funnies.  We also spend a little time looking at Brian Doyle, a strong contender for our 2nd favorite Murray brother. We hit it all.  Who is Sarah Holcomb and where did she go?  Was our hometown pizza place with local or a chain?  What is the deal with Fresca?  How was this, Blues Brothers, and Airplane in the theater at the same time? We take a brief Forbidden Cinema True Crime Corner interlude to look at the case of Helen Mintiks, the young violin prodigy at the MET who disappeared in the middle of a show. Zack also makes Jenny guess which type of ad was most heavily featured in Playboy magazine this month.  Will it be tobacco, alcohol, or gadgets?  Also Dudley Moore is featured in one of the photoshoots this month???
