Beyond the Beaded Curtain
by Monday Blue, Randy Chardonnay, and Dock Sounder
Plunge deep into vintage adult cinema. Each episode, we step through the beaded curtain into the adult section and dust off an old, dirty VHS tape and slide it lovingly into our VCR. We think about it, we talk about it, and we take your pleasure seriously. Book your appointment now with the expert hands of Monday Blue, Randy Chardonnay and Dock Sounder.

36 Bikini Jones and the Temple of Eros 2010 with guest Jack Stallion
36 Bikini Jones and the Temple of Eros 2010 with guest Jack Stallion So, here's the deal folks. Jack and I watched this movie, and it's not a good movie, and we talked about it anyway. We had some new and different recording mishaps that make for a slightly disjointed conclusion. And instead of...
-
35 Bikini Frankenstein 2009 with guest Jack Stallion
Randy and Jack Stallion are checking out a more resent, softcore movie this week because concepts like "vintage" and "time" are meaningless and we all know it. Maybe our highest-rated movie of all time, but keep in mind that this is a month into lockdown so who can say what's going on with our...
-
34 The Erotic Adventures of Bedman & Throbbin 1989 w Cody Grenada
Not really sure what to do with the numbering system on these episodes. Maybe I'll just make it more and more confusing. Maybe I'll just restart from episode one, and count all the episodes equally? Who knows! But even that doesn't really work because there are a couple of "lost" episodes that...
-
2-10 Never Sleep Alone 1984 - Randy solo
It's another solo Randy episode! That's the thing everyone loves, right? Hope so! Randy spends most of this episode talking about anise-flavored booze. And why shouldn't he? It's much more exciting than this movie! Lots of ferns and 80s lingerie, but otherwise, not much to get excited about. Oh...
-
2020-9 Vixens of Kung Fu (1975)
How about a long episode? Randy doesn't have anything better to do. And there's lots to talk about because Randy has got Jack Stallion on the pod today. Did we take this too seriously? Perhaps! But these are serious times. Cool soundtrack. Bad movie. Oh well! Cast and crew:...
-
2020-8 Bad Girls (1981)
So I read that nobody's listening to podcasts right now, which I'm guessing is because podcasts are often a form of entertainment we experience while doing other things, like driving to work. And nobody's driving to work. Oh well! I'm going to keep making new episodes and releasing them at no...
-
2020-7 Once Upon a Girl (1976)
Special guest Honey Wellbutrin, an animator, called in this week to talk about our first animated movie, and lemme tell ya: it sucks. It's the worst thing we've ever seen. Absolute trash from start to finish. Considerably worse than anything we've ever covered! We've only recently really locked…

2020-6 Pig Keeper's Daughter (1972)
Look, we're just going to drop this early because it 100% feels like the world is ending and I can't have it end without you all knowing what I think about The Pig Keeper's Daughter (1972). Could've used more pig. And there you go! That's the end of it! Now you know! Don't even bother listening!…

2020 - 5 Amanda By Night (1981)
Hey sorry for the late episode folks! I can't imagine anyone is organizing their week around this so you probably didn't notice, but here goes! Another solo episode, this time about a much better movie. Sorry you didn't get to watch this one, Reno! Amanda By Night is a quality noir flick, or at...
-
2020-4 Bimbo Bowlers from Buffalo (1989)
It's a special episode with our first guest of the year, Reno Dakota! Reno Dakota hated this movie so much that after watching it, she turned into an anti-porn crusader. Also, she tells Randy on mic that he should immediately quit the podcast. All in all, a great episode! Bad movie though. Not...
-
2020-3: Aerobisex Girls (1983)
1983's Aerobisex Girls may be in the XRCO Hall of Fame, but we're not sure why. Oh well! Tina Blair is good as Eleyna, the pushy aerobics instructor. And Eleyna's girlfriend, Tina, played by Bridgette Royalle, looks great on roller skates. And, as there are no fellas in this movie, we are pleased...
-
2020-2: Star Virgin (1979)
In the distant future, some cheap-looking robots are doing their best to teach the last human being about earth by showing her porn movies. It's pretty good! Or maybe it's bad and each one of these movies we watch brings down our standards just a little bit? Cast and crew:...
-
2020-1: 3 A.M. (1975)
If you enjoyed other 70s brain-melters like Her Name Was Lisa or The Devil in Miss Jones you may just like 3 A.M.! It's a slow burn, with a dark and moody atmosphere that conveys more dread than horniness. Nice turns from Georgina Spelvin, Judith Hamilton, and Sharon Thorpe. Lots of sweaters and...
-
2019 Christmas Special: Living Doll (1987)
Hey folks does anyone subscribe to this show anymore? And if anyone does, will I even be able to find out? Anyway, this is a solo episode featuring--and I cannot stress this enough--your least-favorite third of our menage a trois. Sorry! He's the only one available! Our show is like one of those...
-
Episode 23: Babylon Pink (1979)
Yes, yes, we know it’s been forever. We’re sorry. We were doing an experiment to see if we could get someone to @ us on twitter with expressions of concern. Also we know the episodes are out of order. You’ll get Episode 22 some other time. And you would’ve gotten 23 earlier but Randy is bad at...
-
Episode 21: Dixie Ray Hollywood Star (1983)
Dixie Ray Hollywood Star is close to enough to a “regular” detective movie that it was recut and released in an R-rated version. Kinda neat! If you trimmed down most of our movies to secure an R-rating, you’d barely have enough left for a short, let alone a full film! And, like plenty of other...
-
Episode 20: Bikini Girls from the Lost Planet (2006)
Hurray! We did it! Twenty episodes, and only a little bit, slightly late on our standard, semi-weekly schedule that we’ve been doing since the very beginning and don’t ask any follow-up questions, thank you. Bikini Girls from the Lost Planet is a movie about visitors from a planet populated...
-
Episode 19: Ecstasy Girls (1979)
Jerry Martin (Jamie Gillis) has a pretty rough life. Yes, pretty ladies hurl themselves at him, and yes, his main gig as an actor seems to be accompanying actresses to parties. But on the other hand, he doesn’t have that much money. Sad! So his agent, JC, makes him an offer: $100,000 if Jerry can...
-
Episode 18: Big Thrill (1989)
We sure you get a Big Thrill out of hearing Monday and Randy talk about this week’s movie! That’s right--just two of your favorite porn scholars are here this for this episode, but don’t worry! We’ve got you covered. We’re talking about eighties hair, eighties clothes, eighties mustaches, and we...
-
Episode 17: Spermula (1976)
Here it is, folks! A movie so powerful that it may have ended our program! This is not an exaggeration. Trying to make sense of this moody French philosophical treatise on the erotic seems to have broken our spirits. Please let us know if you think we were done in by the cumulative effects of our...
-
Episode 16: Hot and Saucy Pizza Girls (1978)
This week we go deep into that sexiest of all professions: pizza delivery! Journey back to the year 1978, when pizza was still a novelty food struggling to maintain a toehold in a crowded fast-food landscape. We also begin tackling the complicated legacy of one of porn's first mega-stars, John C....
-
Episode 15: All About Steve (1994)
Many years before All About Steve was a forgettable romcom starring Sandra Bullock, All About Steve was a real dick-slappy gay porno flick loosely based on All About Eve. I know, right? Two movies with the same name! So confusing for all us fans of (hold on checking IMDB to read up on the Bullock…
more -
Episode 14: Chameleons--Not the Sequel (1992)
This movie is basically girls who are boys who like boys to be girls who do boys like they're girls who do girls like they're boys. Got it? We almost got it, I think. It’s the story of a couple of sexy shapeshifters whose lives are complicated by an adventurous swinger who wants in on the action....
-
Episode 13: Busty Cops (2004)
We’re giving ourselves a break this week and watching our first softcore movie since episode 4. And yes, it’s another movie from one of our favorite maniacs, Jim Wynorski. This movie doesn’t take place in our favorite house (check out episode 4 for more on that!) but it does seem to include one…
more -
Episode 12: Pretty Peaches (1978)
Content warning: this episode is just a disaster. The titular Peaches is sexually assaulted, and also there’s this clown bathroom scene that’s the worst thing we’ve ever seen. Candy Stripers and Pretty Peaches back to back is a real testament to the diversity of vintage porn because these movies...
-
Episode 11: Candy Stripers (1978)
Look: we took a week off. Your intrepid hosts were scattered across the globe even farther than usual so we hope you didn’t miss us too much! And if you did miss us? Well. We hope you took the time to listen to some of our old episodes or write us a review on iTunes. Anyway, Candy Stripers. It’s...
-
Episode 10: Outlaw Ladies (1981)
Outlaw Ladies is a highbrow (well, highbrow for porn) flick that follows several outlaw ladies through intertwined stories. That’s right, folks! It’s Pulp Fiction, but a porn! Sorry--that’s definitely overselling it. It’s not a terrible movie. And it has a fantastic title song! We’re probably a...
-
Episode 9: The Devil In Miss Jones (1973)
This week we’re digging into a true classic! A moody, atmospheric film from porn’s golden age. Georgina Spelvin stars as the titular Miss Jones--a lonely woman who feels she has nothing to live for. But all this changes when she’s given the chance to reinvent herself and live focused exclusively…
more -
Episode 8: Barbara Dare’s Surf, Sand, and Sex (1987)
This was a tough one, gang! We wanted a beach movie, and we got one. But the monkey’s paw guaranteed that our beach movie would leave us unsatisfied, and that we’d have to edit around a number of interruptions while recording. But as a bonus (or a further insult?) we start with a clip from…
more -
Episode 7: Boys in the Sand (1971)
Episode 7: Boys in the Sand (1971) Two milestones this week! This is our oldest movie, and even more important, it’s our first gay movie! Just in time for Pride--and Fathers Day too, I guess?--we’re branching out and talking about a gay porno classic. And spoiler alert: we liked it! Or at least…
more -
Episode 6: Thunder Boobs (1995)
Look: we didn’t really know what we were getting ourselves into. We just found ourselves in the mood for a zany beach romp, and ended up with this low-rent James Bond knockoff featuring Brook Bond, Agent DD7. (Get it? The DD is for boobs. The 7 is for James Bond, probably?) Bond is sent to the...
-
Episode 5: Starship Eros (1980)
Starship Eros is probably going to get erased from the internet once the folks at Disney notice how much the sex robot Quasar resembles a certain protocol droid, but until then, enjoy! In the distant future--1995!--Commander Moon splits her time between tracking Amazoid fighter ships and...
-
Episode 4: The Breastford Wives (2007)
Welcome to the Breastiverse! Legendary bad-movie director Jim Wynorski has filmed at least a half-dozen softcore flicks all in the same cabin somewhere in the woods of California. We’re trying to figure out where the cabin is--maybe it’s on AirBNB? Until then, we’re enjoying Wynorski recycle the...
-
Episode 3: Café Flesh (1986)
So, after World War 3, the planet became radioactive, and almost everyone died. It gets worse: most of the survivors are “sex-negatives” who can’t even get to first base without becoming violently ill. The poor neggies spend their nights at Café Flesh, where sex-positives perform elaborate,...
-
Episode 2: Her Name Was Lisa (1980)
Wow. This is a tough one. Less a porn and more a bleak tale of abuse and addiction told through sex-scenes, Her Name Was Lisa is proof that pre-internet porn is wild, but pre-VHS porn is another thing entirely. Great performances by Samantha Fox and Vanessa del Rio—and a number of choice...
-
Episode 1: Farmer's Daughters
Episode 1: Farmer's Daughters 1986 What do you do when your farm isn't making enough money to pay off your mortgage? A chance encounter with a traveling porn-salesman proves inspirational to down-on-his-luck farmer Sam Miller. Soon Sam is able to to pay back the bank, and all it takes is filming...
