Also we have a Disney-ish movie with so many Penthouse magazines.

Forbidden Cinema 134 - Body of Influence - Going Deeper

Episode 134

Sunday, January 25, 2026 • Duration 52:30

Join us as we discuss all of the unanswered questions from out coverage of the Direct to Video erotic thriller, Body of Influence from 1993.

Forbidden Cinema 133 - Body of Influence (not Body of Evidence with Madonna)

Episode 133

Monday, January 12, 2026 • Duration 01:18:22

Amazon just loaded a bunch of Direct to Video erotic thrillers in HD. Join us as we take a look at Body of Influence from 1993. This barely clocks in at an hour and a half and someone takes their clothes off, kills someone, confesses something, or just goes plain bananas every 5 minutes. It isn't the best movie ever made, but it is infinitely watchable. Give it a try and listen to our discussion. This movie stars the guy who directed The Notebook and features one of the queens of the erotic thriller, Shaft, Patrick Swayze's brother, and one of the most prolific soap stars of all time. Join us. By the way it is listed as PG-13 on Amazon, so kids, have at it :)

Season 1 · Episode 132

Monday, December 29, 2025 • Duration 01:19:23

Join Zack and Jenny as we answer the questions that nobody bothered to ask about The Last Seduction.

Come with us as we discuss a movie with a main character who literally has no redeeming qualities. I can't think of many others. Also join us as we talk about the history of the erotic thriller in general.

Forbidden Cinema 131 - The Last Seduction

Season 4 · Episode 131

Sunday, November 9, 2025 • Duration 01:26:07

We are back from hiatus with at least 3 months worth of content in the can an ready to release regularly again. Thanks for bearing with us, folks, sometimes life just gets in the way. Join us as we explore the sexy neo-noir thriller, The Last Seduction, from 1994.

Linda Fiorentino steams her way through being robbed of an Oscar Nom playing a truly *SPOILER* bad person. Bill Pullman, welcome to the podcase. Zack forgets how to edit, and the crew makes a lot of jokes that seem more relevant to 9 months ago when we recorded this.

Forbidden Cinema 130 - Beetlejuice - Going Deeper

Episode 130

Monday, January 13, 2025 • Duration 47:50

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

Season 1 · Episode 129

Monday, November 11, 2024 • Duration 01:50:22

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

Season 1 · Episode 128

Monday, October 14, 2024 • Duration 47:05

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.
