For A Good Time...

About For A Good Time...

The word porn brings to mind many things- giant cocks, bad acting, funky bass- but rarely is "art" one of them. In For A Good Time..., hosts Juan Barquin and Isabelle Arf talk sex and the silver screen, bringing their cinephile eyes to work that rarely gets a second glance. From cock rings to crossfades, from inflation fetish to Marxist aesthetics, from huge racks to rack focus, Juan and Isabelle tease out the personal, political, and cultural value of the least respected billion dollar industry, and show it is as much a mirror as it is a peepshow.

   Episode 8 – 9 Lives of a Wet Pussy

   One episode before it would have been most appropriate, your hosts Isabelle (she/her) and Juan (they/them) break into the world of acclaimed director Abel Ferrara with a look at his first (and almost certainly worst) film, 9 Lives of a Wet Pussy. Is it good? No way. Is it really interesting in the context of Ferrara's filmography, especially Ms. 45? Absolutely. Hopefully the conversation leans more towards that side of things. The Vinegar Syndrome blu-ray is currently out of stock most places, but it is freely available online at various porn-tube services, and Diabolik currently has a waitlist you can be put on for future copies that arrive: https://www.diabolikdvd.com/product/9-lives-of-a-wet-pussy-vinegar-syndrome-limited-slipcover-edition-dvd-blu-ray-combo/ (https://www.diabolikdvd.com/product/9-lives-of-a-wet-pussy-vinegar-syndrome-limited-slipcover-edition-dvd-blu-ray-combo/) Links: The podcast can be followed @foragoodtimepod and you can send any questions or comments to foragoodtimepod@gmail.com.

   Episode 7 – Become Mommy's Sissy Girl / Mommy Turns You Into A Girl

   Content Warning: Transphobic Language, Incest Today Isabelle (she/her) and Juan (they/them) break ground on what is sure to become a perennial and productive garden of content: sissy porn. Here, specifically, it's sissy porn where your mommy talks to the camera about how she's going to turn you into a girl. Then you suck her dick. If that already sounds problematic, just wait until Isabelle gets going. She can probably just send this podcast to her therapist instead of going to her next appointment. Editor's Note: The audio in this one is really rough. Isabelle had an unbearable amount of dry mouth clicky noises, and the second half of Juan's recording has this background hiss that, to remove, would have made his audio sound like shit. Hopefully it won't happen again in the future, but we figured better to release it than scrap it.

   Episode 6 – Score

   In your hosts' return from the slumber of Isabelle (she/her) Needing A Break, her and Juan (they/them) dive into the porno chic mines again and return with shimmering gold. Score, Radley Metzger's swinging mini-masterpiece, is not only beautifully shot, wonderfully acted, and hilariously written, it has more more to say with its progressive sexual politics than most prestige queer films coming out today. It also inspires a lengthy discussion about polyamory, so have fun with that. Elvira forever.

   Episode 5 – Tattoo / Ink Addition

   Content Warning: Brief Discussion of Needles Sorry for the delay perverts, but For A Good Time... is here, and it's a double feature! Juan (they/them) and Isabelle (she/her) discuss two films made almost half a century apart that are both about tattoos and the ways we appreciate and fetishize them. The cultural role of masculinity and body modification feature heavily, as well as getting pubic hair in your mouth while eating someone out. There's something for everyone! (Also at one point while discussing the cultural position of homosexuality in the 70's, Isabelle uses the word "legal" when she meant "illegal" in a mention of sodomy laws.) You can purchase a membership to download Ink Addition here: https://xconfessions.com/film/ink-addiction (https://xconfessions.com/film/ink-addiction) And you can purchase a DVD of Falconhead which includes Tattoo as a bonus feature here: http://bijouworld.com/DVD/Falconhead.html (http://bijouworld.com/DVD/Falconhead.html) Links: The podcast can be followed @foragoodtimepod and you can send any questions or comments to foragoodtimepod@gmail.com.

   Episode 4 – Sex World

   Happy New Year everyone! Ring it in the right way by listening to your favorite perverts Juan (they/them) and Isabelle (she/her) talk about the science fiction porno classic from 1978, recently lovingly restored by the fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome (who your hosts simp for, 100%). There's ambiguously problematic sexual content, killer set design (Tokyo Drifter is invoked, natch), and a funky fresh theme song, so what could really go wrong? (Most of the things that don't involve lesbians, turns out, but that's true in the real world too.) Purchase Sex World from Vinegar Syndrome once they reopen their storefront (they are currently temporarily shut down to have time to handle Black Friday orders): https://vinegarsyndrome.com/ (https://vinegarsyndrome.com/) Links: The podcast can be followed @foragoodtimepod and you can send any questions or comments to foragoodtimepod@gmail.com.

   Episode 3 – Belladonna: Fetish Fanatic Chapter 4

   Content Warning: Gagging Sounds In episode 3 of For A Good Time..., Juan (they/them) and Isabelle (she/her) finally throw their minds into the gutter. Your hosts discuss the lesbian gonzo Sasha Grey / Belladonna scene from Fetish Fanatic 4, and talk an awful lot about throatfucking. There's also talk about the line between performance and reality, the ways in which porn acting is a lot like physical comedy, and what the camera can add stylistically to a genre defined by its ostensible lack of artifice and pretense. But those are secondary to the throatfucking. (Also there is a too-brief discussion of how porn problematically influences the way people perceive their own sexual lives that will absolutely be expanded on in more depth later.)

   Episode 2 – Nitrate Kisses

   We're already here, the point where we whine about tenderqueers for 30 minutes. In today's episode of For A Good Time..., Isabelle (she/her) and Juan (they/them) tackle Barbara Hammer's experimental documentary Nitrate Kisses, a film about history and remembrance that gives us time to reflect on why those things are important to homos like us. We discuss the queer gaze, the ways we discover ourselves through seeing others, and how many modern queer communities seem eager to forget the past. A heavier episode, but one we're proud of.

   Episode 1 – Ecstasy in Berlin, 1926

   Content Warning: BDSM In today's episode of For A Good Time..., Isabelle (she/her) and Juan (they/them) discuss Maria Beatty's 2004 film Ecstasy in Berlin, 1926. You've got lesbian bondage and domination, you've got silent film aesthetics, you've got a string of pearls coming out of a vagina like scarves from a clown's sleeve- what more do you want? Isabelle explains subspace to Juan and references no longer active fetish porn websites. It's an extremely normal episode 1. (Also, at one point, Isabelle says third wave feminism when she means second wave feminism. Sorry) Rent Ecstasy in Berlin, 1926 here: https://film-makerscoop.com/catalogue/beatty-maria-ecstasy-in-berlin (https://film-makerscoop.com/catalogue/beatty-maria-ecstasy-in-berlin) Links: The podcast can be followed @foragoodtimepod and you can send any questions or comments to foragoodtimepod@gmail.com.

   Episode 0 - Introductions

   Welcome to the first episode of For a Good Time.., the new podcast with all the porn that's fit to print. In this introductory episode, your hosts Juan (they/them) and Isabelle (she/her) talk about getting caught with porn as teenagers and why they wanted to do a podcast about porn in the first place.

Also, sorry about Isabelle's audio. She was using the wrong microphone, because she is a genius. It's better on the next episode.
