On Mighty Monarchs and Lady Bosses

It’s a Christmas miracle! It’s been a long time coming, but for the final episode of the year, The Sin Syndicate have been blessed with the immaculate presence of The Boss, Something Weird Video owner and operator, Lisa Petrucci. Ever since we started this podcast we knew we wanted to bring Lil’ Lisa on the show, but we were waiting for the right moment. Well, what better time than now, our last episode of 2025, where we talk with the multi-talented Ms. Petrucci about a subject near and dear to her heart—the Mighty Monarch of Exploitation, David F. Friedman, and the recently announced series of double and triple features from Melusine and Distribpix dedicated to his colorful career. Besides Uncle Dave, we also chat about the early days of Something Weird, the current state of film censorship, and some of our favorite Friedman films. If you listen closely, you might even catch Lisa drop a couple hints about some upcoming releases from SWV in the new year. So, join us for “On Mighty Monarchs and Lady Bosses,” the first, but hopefully not the last, of our discussions with the small but powerful woman behind an exploitation empire.Links:Subscribe to our PatreonCheck out Something Weird VideoPurchase The Adult Version Of Jekyll & Hide + The Erotic Adventures of ZorroInstagram with us at The Sin SyndicateFollow us on Letterboxd: Gentry & CaseyListen to other podcasts on Someone's Favorite ProductionsContact us: [email protected] thanks: Lisa Petrucci Links:Join the community on PatreonInstagram with us at The Sin Syndicate Follow us on Letterboxd: Gentry & CaseyCheck out the Something Weird ChannelListen to other podcasts on Someone's Favorite ProductionsContact: [email protected]
