Episode 169: Lurid Tales: The Castle Queen (with Amanda Jane Stern)

from Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks · host puppetmasterscastlefreaks

Torchlight Films takes a bow with the silly and sexy 1997 skin flick LURID TALES: THE CASTLE QUEEN! This VR history drama (yes, really) is a bodice ripper in the proudest tradition, and so we had to bring in an expert in the genre: author and filmmaker Amanda Jane Stern, who lends her expertise to the film's historical inaccuracies and bizarre depiction of sex-adjacent activities. Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck Logo by Doug McCambridge Email: [email protected] Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks Next week's episode: End of the World
