About this listen

 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 grindhouses looking for colorful nudies, B&W roughies, and softcore sex films.Someone's Favorite Productions Art

    Lost and in Limbo, Vol 2
    Aug 28 2025
    They may be lost—or only available to see at a German screening—but they are not forgotten. The Sin Syndicate returns with the second and final volume of our most ambitious project yet, a two-part journey through the Twisted Sex trailer archives for our Top 10 most wanted Lost and in Limbo sexploitation films. Helping us finish the countdown of number five through one is friend of the Syndicate and riding crop wielder, Alex DiSanto. A reminder of the rules:

    - a trailer must exist
    - one film per director
    - two substitutions allowed
    - all the lost Andy Milligan films are off the table (too obvious)

    What is the Sin Syndicate’s cumulative most wanted film? When are we getting a Don Davis/Marsha Jordan box set? How much time will we spend talking about press books? Join us for “Lost and in Limbo, Vol 2” to find out!

    P.S. For those that want to spoil themselves on our picks, I’ve listed them at the very bottom of the show notes.

    Lost and in Limbo, Vol 1
    Aug 21 2025
    They may be gone—or locked in a private collector’s vault—but they are not forgotten. The Sin Syndicate return with our most ambitious project yet, a two-part journey through the Twisted Sex trailer archives for our Top 10 most wanted Lost and in Limbo sexploitation films. We are once again joined by friend, press book hoarder and Canadian degenerate, Alex DiSanto, for a countdown of numbers 10-6 from our personally compiled, highly secretive lists.

    The rules:
    - a trailer must exist
    - one film per director
    - two substitutions allowed
    - all the lost Andy Milligan films are off the table (too obvious)

    How many films featuring Peggy Sarno will appear? What lost Barry Mahon film do we actually want to watch? Who the hell is George Gunter? Join us for “Lost and in Limbo, Vol 1” to find out!

  • The Bruised Ballerina

    The Bruised Ballerina
    Aug 13 2025
    Gather ye rosebuds and put on your ballet slippers, The Sin Syndicate is taking a stroll through Central Park and Greenwich Village for director Stanley H. Brasloff’s directorial debut, 1968’s Two Girls for a Madman, a melancholic roughie focused on two ambitious dancers (Arlene Farber, Jean Weston), one giggling sex maniac (Lucky Kargo), and a Beatnik cafe that offers masked orgies with admission.

    Before he went for broke with his candy-colored daddy/daughter melodrama, Toys are Not for Children, Brasloff—a showbiz kid from an early age—cooked up this exemplary sexploitation film with a little help from his friends and connections in the East Coast entertainment business, including former Broadway performers and Jewish comedians like himself. Join us as we discuss Brasloff’s short but memorable career in moviemaking, a career filled with wonderful failures, interesting stories, and a whole lot of passion.

    In this episode we debate the thespian talents of stunning starlet Arlene Farber, talk early electronic music scores (theremin!), and ask the deep questions, like “Is Lucky Kargo HOT or NOT?” Make sure to stay ‘til the very end, where Casey even has a correction for Mr. Stephen Thrower himself. So burn your tutu, hold on to your passport, and meet us at the fountain for Episode 16, “The Bruised Ballerina.”
