The Sin Syndicate is a podcast hosted by writer Gentry Austin and adult film historian Casey Scott focused on the Golden Age of American sexploitation, when the morals were loose, the laws were murky, and the intercourse was all simulated. Join us semiweekly as we peer into adults only theaters and sticky floored cinemas looking for colorful nudies, B&W roughies, and softcore sex films.

The Smut Picture Racket

Episode 13

Thursday, July 24, 2025 • Duration 01:20:44

Hike up that skirt and show a little leg, we’re entering the world of psycho killers and girl boss pornographers for Episode 13 of The Sin Syndicate Podcast, “The Smut Picture Racket.” This week Gentry and Casey are joined by Toronto-based author Will Sloan, who has written a new critical reappraisal of Edward D. Wood Jr. entitled “Ed Wood: Made in Hollywood USA.” Join us as we discuss Wood’s career heading into the 1960s, as well as his final mainstream film, the sexploitation crime thriller, “The Sinister Urge,” a movie both ahead of and behind the times—anticipating the Roughie by half a decade through its depiction of a nudes-obsessed, knife-wielding sex maniac, while simultanously splicing in awkward footage from an unfinished delinquent youth picture, “Hellborn.” Put on your favorite angora sweater, grab a slice of pie from the cool kids pizza parlour, and come along as we investigate “The Smut Picture Racket.”

Too Much Sex Fizz

Episode 12

Thursday, July 17, 2025 • Duration 01:31:17

Think like a normal, clean living man and join us for “Too Much Sex Fizz,” Episode 12 of The Sin Syndicate Podcast, where Gentry and Casey teleport to Dr. Breedlove’s laboratory high in the mountains of Broadaslavia for a well-rounded (ahem) discussion of director Pete Perry's 1964 monster mash nudie-cutie, “Kiss Me Quick!” In this episode we discuss the early career of legendary producer Harry Novak, the origins of the dumbest films ever made, and peek behind the pseudonymous curtain of Seymour Tuchus. Listen as Casey outs himself as a “Little” Jack Little apologist and Gentry gets schooled on the difference between a general release film and an adults only picture. Don’t forget to shoot your sexbomb into the pool before it explodes.

The Short Ends: More Ramming

Episode 2

Saturday, July 12, 2025 • Duration 18:01

In the second bite-sized episode of our Short Ends series, Gentry and Casey try to navigate the choppy waters of minority depiction within sexploitation, specifically with regard to white actors playing other races, which is central to the plot of Ed Forsyth’s “The Ramrodder,” which was covered in Episode 11. We recommend you listen to that episode first, then join us for this discussion, however awkward it may be, and hopefully you'll meet us meet us halfway in trying to understand this ever-evolving issue.

Do It In the Dust

Episode 11

Wednesday, July 2, 2025 • Duration 01:37:56

The heat is on. Join us for “Do It In the Dust,” Episode 11 of The Sin Syndicate Podcast, where Gentry and Casey take a hike to Topanga Canyon and learn to love the lash as they ride with Ed Forsyth’s 1969 Nudie Western, “The Ramrodder.” In this episode we discuss the film’s Manson Family connections, if it was really shot at the infamous Spahn Ranch, as well as dig deep into the sexploitation careers of its key players: Kathy Williams, Jim Gentry, Julia Blackburn and Marsha Jordan. A naughty oater that places as much emphasis on the rites and rituals of the Native people as it does Kathy’s firm body, it is a film both deceptively progressive, and per the times, routinely thorny (and horny). So saddle up your steed, watch out for toothless bandits, and join us as we try to make sense of this slick and sexy cowboy picture.

Join us as we scratch only the surface of Rotsler’s multifaceted career, discuss his relationship with sleaze distributor Harry Novak, and talk the joys of casting yourself in sex films.
