Get ready for “Sex & Fury.” Chris and I recorded a commentary (as “Two in the Pinku”) for the most stacked release of this Toei Pinky Violence. It’s an honor!

Check out my booklet essay for the @88films.bsky.social blu-ray of “Tokyo Emmanuelle.” The film also served as inspiration for recent drawings.
