Get ready for “Sex & Fury.” Chris and I recorded a commentary (as “Two in the Pinku”) for the most stacked release of this Toei Pinky Violence. It’s an honor!

I love these!!

Check out my booklet essay for the @88films.bsky.social blu-ray of “Tokyo Emmanuelle.” The film also served as inspiration for recent drawings.

Check out my work in “The Boy Is Mine” at TSA LA in the #bendixbuilding. It was fun to make a wearable art piece to match my painting 👾

It’s definitely a mix! There’s lists you can always check on Letterboxd to see if a film is tagged in. If you want to go further down the rabbit hole, a VPN works ✨

Aw thank you!!! Apollo My Love is fun. Satoru gets “serious” in a good, melodramatic way with his gay pink films. A lot of his films are available in Japan - but I don’t know if there’s been the interest yet over here. It feels really cool to see others dip beyond Sato into Sachi Hamano.

Thank you! It feels surreal

Tokyo Emmanuelle RELEASE DATE: 7/7/25 Kyoko, played by the stunning Kumi Taguchi (Wolf Guy, Deep Throat in Tokyo), heads back home from Paris to Tokyo following a spat with her French lover Pierre in this sensual Japa...

I wrote a booklet essay! Pre-order the @88films.bsky.social release of “Tokyo Emmanuelle” - timed for the 50th anniversary 💕
