SITC is back in the studio with this long-awaited episode covering the softcore juggernaut that is the Emmanuelle film franchise!
Expert Bryan Connolly joins Torie to dissect this smutty phenomenon which is SO expansive and SO diverse, it's basically an ecosystem. From Thailand to Africa, to Outer Space, Emmanuelle knows no bounds.
In the original EMMANUELLE (1974) starring Sylvia Kristel, we watch Emmanuelle the girl become Emman...
Torie and Maggie go full-on Siskel and Ebert for this special episode reviewing Nicole Kidman's latest in a series of steamy, psychosexual cinematic narratives, BABYGIRL.
Torie hated it and Maggie loved it but both ladies agree this flick with a feminist bent made a valuable contribution to the conversation around women, age and sexuality (aka debunking the myth that women become sexless empty vessels as soon as the baby farm close...

Happy Yule, cinephile freaks! This holiday season we're celebrating the Winter Solstice in this very special episode starring wonton, willful and wonderful witches!
Self help goes lethally awry in Anna Biller's ingenious meta-Technicolor treasure THE LOVE WITCH (2016). Sexploitation is style over substance in the VIRGIN WITCH (1972). Cinematic art finds a new masterstroke in the haunting, enigmatic (and f**king awesome) folk horror...
Trigger Warning: Please be advised this episode includes explicit discussion of sexual abuse and assault. This is a really tough one so tune out and take care if you need to <3
For the penultimate episode of 2024, we're kicking off our mini director retrospective series. Our first entry delves into modern cinema's ultimate Master of Macabre, David Lynch.
Baby talk reaches a new level of unacceptable foreplay in BLUE VELVET (19...
SITC is back with a new installment of Uncut and Unrated - extended "director's cuts" of some of our favorite episodes.
FRATBOY F**KERY, our episode discussing a trio of "boys will be boys" blockbusters, returns to manspread its dick tentacles all over the airwaves. The original cut of this episode was released in April 2024 but the collective ethos of these misogynistic trash fires is now distinctly timely.
Tune in for previously...
SITC is back with the long-awaited second installment of our horror series just in time for Halloween. Hot or not? You decide.

Can AI offer humans genuine connection? Can AI be trusted? It is worth it to bang a bot?!? Tune in for SITC's most thought-provoking episode to date in which Torie and Maggie disagree A LOT.
Oscar Isaac's misogynist tech bro gets served by the scariest sexbot of all time in Alex Garland's masterfully character-driven psychological mindf**k EX MACHINA (2014). A mustachioed Joaquin Phoenix turns up the heat with Manic Pixie Dreambot ...
Returning special guest Cecilia Conti joins Torie and Maggie to discuss three eminent coming of age narratives with some solid silver screen sex.
Cringe comedy has integrity and dick poking gets literal in TURN ME ON, GODDAMMIT/FÅ MEG PÅ, FOR FAEN! (2011), a Norwegian hidden gem Torie incorrectly refers to as Swedish. Horney men run amok and Torie fails to distinguish Italian character names in Bernardo Bertolucci's mid-90s Liv Ty...
Quick note for our listeners. Apologies for minor technical issues, we recorded this "campfire episode" during a power outage on the first day of Mercury in Retrograde. Also, trigger warning for a brief mention of suicide in our coverage of the first film.
As we round out the summer, SITC is setting the scene on theme with three films featuring sex on the beach (coitus, not cocktails).
Torie and Maggie kick off with the Brooke Sh...
Holy tits! It's SITC's one-year anniversary!!! To mark this momentous occasion, we're covering three (markedly more) momentous classics of lesbian cinema.
Barren deserts and parched pussies get WET in the moving indie darling DESERT HEARTS (1985). Female pentathletes engage in erotic arm wrestling in PERSONAL BEST (1982). Torie and Maggie color commentate seven minutes of male gaze-infested f**king in the Palme d'Or-winning masterp...
From love letters to love poems to lyrical Venetian rap-battles, these three historical dramas put the PEN in penis.
Jude Law makes a lot of noise playing a man of few words in COLD MOUNTAIN (2003). Verses get venereal in DANGEROUS BEAUTY (1998). Theatre once again proves its inherent queerness in SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE (1998).
Welcome to Uncut and Unrated, SITC's version of the re-release.
Instead of a straight up re-post of an older episode, we're giving you the podcast equivalent of a Director's Cut.
SITC Uncut and Unrated includes everything we would have kept in - the digressions, the truly cringe-worthy anecdotes, and the content our paranoia convinced us would get us cancelled. LISTEN AT YOUR OWN RISK.
In the meantime, SITC is banking content like...
Trigger warning: this episode discusses themes of sexual and verbal assault, rape, and body shaming.
Welcome to the black hole of misogyny where "boys will be boys" and fratboy mentality reigned supreme to brainwash multiple generations.
Torie struggles to kill her darlings in the National Lampoon classic ANIMAL HOUSE (1978). Kim Cattrall is the only saving grace in the postulating butt boil that is PORKY'S (1981). Witness the bi...
Okay, guys we hear you! Get ready to sweat and make those panties wet because we're covering SALTBURN.
This kaleidoscopic fever dream of millennial nostalgia has it all - full frontal fabulousness, fresh talent, eyeball-blisteringly hot sex and good f**king writing. From red wings to grave digging of a different color, this 2023 gem is a new classic.
Torie and Maggie take a nostalgic trip back to the movies that not only made us (cum) but also shaped the hormones of an entire generation.
Brace yourself for some awkward adolescent anecdotes, friends. The cringe-factor of this episode gives PEN15 a run for its money.

We're taking a detour to the BOOB TUBE for this very special episode!
Lifetime™ made history last month with a first-ever SEX SCENE in one of their crap holiday films. In honor of this milestone, we indulged the sugar and spice with A COWBOY CHRISTMAS ROMANCE .

...
Trigger warning: bodily functions and hedonism ahead!
Torie and Maggie revisit monochrome color palettes and smirking toxic seduction with 9 1/2 WEEKS (1986). Both ladies are left traumatized following their first watch of LA GRANDE BOUFFE (1973) and then rescued by the effervescently sexy and incomparably charming, TAMPOPO (1986).
