## Resource

Finding the joy in unfettered creativity. A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness and context to movies of any budget, from anywhere, and during any time. Episode 42 is reviewing the May announcements that we know. In preparation for Halfway to Black Friday, VS has released a portion of their slate in addition to a new slate of OCN partner titles. We are joined by film historian Casey Scott and film and culture writer Gentry Austin who run the amazing Sin Syndicate podcast. Casey is on record saying he has known Joe Rubin since he was 16 years old, and is a wealth of knowledge about VS and especially their golden age porno and sexploitation movies. Him and Gentry have many stories about the titles, the production of the discs, and overall this was a conversation Eli and I really loved. We had to try hard to keep it from going another 2 hours. They have already started showing up on commentaries and special features, including the Distribpix title this month, and it's easy to understand why. We will be back later in May to cover the full Halfway to Black Friday slate and discuss the overflowing cornucopia of April releases. Thank you to everyone who listens and please let us know how we can make the show better. Always listening! If you want to get a taste of the expertise Casey and Gentry bring to their film discussion you can follow them on Letterboxd: Gentry is simply gentryaustin Casey is manofsteel26 Someone's Favorite Productions https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/ Eli can be found on most socials @eliolsberg, you can also catch his standup show the second Tuesday of every month at the Pleasure Chest in West Hollywood.
