Huff those poppers and wield that bladed stake vibrator thing you stupid douchebag, because we're talking our very first Ken Russell film in his messy-but-fascinating erotic thriller Crimes of Passion (1984)!

Join us as we do a deep dive into what Joe describes as a John Waters fever dream. It's a film that boasts fantastic performances from Kathleen Turner and Anthony Perkins (in a role we would deem "brave" for the actor), who electrify the screen when its not focused on the torturous mundane existence that is heterosexual marriage.

Plus, X-rated MPAA woes, that "magic" trick, silhouette sex, debating the mixed messaging of the ending, and genuinely wondering when the hell Joanna sleeps!
