"Isabel Sarli squeezes more sexual frisson into the space between breathing in and breathing out than most of us could spread over a lifetime of ordinary love-making."   -New York Times Django Nudo welcomes the Smut Peddler and this week’s guest Adrián García Bogliano , and then leaves for a well-deserved birthday vacation! Smut and Adrián have an in-depth conversation about the week’s t...

Django and Smut feast on the films of exploitation filmmaker extraordinaire Herschell Gordon Lewis (HGL), aka the Godfather of Gore, who went from journalism and TV and radio sports to making nudie cuties, invented the gore genre, did a bunch of other films and then left the movies to teach others how to be a success in marketing and advertising. "Anyone can point a video camera," he sai...

Django and Nudo are joined by Kitty Lash at Castle Cultpix to reminisce about the greatest screen Dracula of all time,  Bela Lugosi. It all started in Lyon, where Django and Smut where attending the MIFC convention, where they met the Hungarian Film Institute, who promised them the oldest known silent film footage of Bela Lugosi on the day he would have turned 140. We start off with a clip from &q...

Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler are joined by academic Dr. Retro (OK, not his real name), who specialises in film history and is an expert on British cult films and more.

Django Nudo and Smut Peddler get their Lederhosen on (proverbially) to celebrate the best of German vintage smut. But first they toast Cultpix's 888th title, the favourite "Death Race 2000" (1975) . Not just ooompha-oompha music, but some catchy tunes for this week's celluloid Kraut fest. The Kronhausens x 2: Sexologists Dr Eberhard and Dr Phyllis Kronhausen are Germany's...

Born Herbert Streicher into a Jewish Bronx family in 1947, Harry Reems pursued stage acting in New York but did stag loops to help pay for the rent. The pimply kid with the big nose had come out of the Marine Corps with a hard body, plus...

Django Nudo and Smut Peddler welcome Kitty Lash back for a nostalgia-filled look back at some lesser known films that only ever made it out on VHS. Django challenges his fellow presenters with "VHS was a SHIT format - fight me!" It sees them give a spirited defence of the mini-monolith like home entertainment format. And what's with the @kadivideo IG account of new films released on...

A productive week at the Cannes Film Festival for Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler. There was the launch of the European Genre Film Foundation (EGFF) , which aims to research, preserve, restore and promote classic niche films, as well as meetings and deals for more films from British and European libraries.  Thanks to our friends at Severin we had a 'Shock U Docu' seasons, where the new...

Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler make fun of Netflix for copying Cultpix's policy of no-censorship and spending its members' money wisely. Smut Peddler has been getting public recognition for his contribution to film history, plus the extraordinary amounts paid for old VHS tapes.    We then set sail for film Fantasy Island, with lots of flesh exposed. The Beastmaster (1982) - He can talk...

Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler discuss what qualifies as a 'quality' cult film and whether there are enough of them on Cultpix (answer: No, but check back with us after the Cannes Film Festival). There is also the Nigh of the Living Dead (1968) screening at Bio Aspen in Stockholm on Sunday 15 May. Stranger Than Paradise (1984) and Monty Python's Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook ("M...

And Night of the Living Dead at Bio Aspen in Stockholm 15 May. The U...

Django Nudo and The Smut Peddler crack open the proverbial champagne to celebrate One Year of Cultpix . It is 12 months since the most weird and wonderful collection of film ever assembled for streaming were launched on an unsuspecting world. What a trip it has been. The good news is that with prices of everything going up, Cultpix membership fees stay the same. So if you were one of the early VIP...

It's the big Four-Ooh Episode, so bad luck that Django Nudo has caught Covid and Smut Peddler is not impressed. Two films that were left out of last week's Women-in-Prison theme get name-checked ( "Jungle Warriors" 1984 and "The Hot Box" 1972 ) . Biker films is this week's theme, but while you may know "The Wild One" (1953) and "Easy Rider" (1...

Smut Peddler has been busy with a film project, while Django Nudo enjoyed a trashy 1980s VHS Rewind revival. But this week it is Women-in-Prison (WiP) films: sadistic lesbian wardens, cat fights, strip searches and shower scenes, are just some of the WiP tropes. Born Innocent (1974) Linda Blair's first of three WIP films. The rape scene in the shower with a brush handle was so graphic and dis...

Lisa Petrucci of Something Weird Video joins Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler to discuss the career of David F. Friedman, whose theme week it is on Cultpix. (We completely forget to mention that Cultpix is now on JustWatch and PlayPilot !). The Prime Time(1958) - Friedman's debut films had all the hallmarks of the things that would characterise his exploitation oeuvre (spanking!) and showed h...

The Smut Peddler is not amused by Django Nudo's bass player jokes. Shameless plug for the Jens Bådd special edition DVD combo package and JustWatch launch is imminent. Then we rock out big time to some of our favourite music films from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Wild Guitar (1962) - Arch Hall Jr might not have been anybody's idea of a rock idol, but his dad was a film producer, so this is how...

Fresh blood in the Cultpix Radio studio as The Chilean joins Django Nudo to talk about the quantitative study what our members think of Cultpix. Overall very positive, but still room to improve and requests ranging from Roku app (coming!) to Jess Franco films (working on it). Then The Smut Peddler rises from the grave to introduce our first Mondo theme week, looking at Sexy travelogues from around...

Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler have long been fans of Women in Fur Bikinis. These films roughly fall into one of two camps (tribes): contemporary jungle and pre-historic cave woman films. We have both! "Bowanga Bowanga" (1951) . - A tribe of white women in Africa? You betcha. Fifties Glamour Girls in skimpy jungle bikinis! "Nothing less than the Single Greatest Jungle Movie Ever M...

Django Nudo gives Smut Peddler a verbal spanking, celebrate George A Romero's birthday; free-to-view films on Cultpix; a new Top 10 and the kids film by Boarna Vibenius.
