In this episode, we dive into the world of Japanese pink films with Atsushi Yamatoya’s Inflatable Sex Doll of the Wastelands. Dustin goes insane with research and delivers a lecture on the history of pinku. Jason opens up about his distaste for freeform jazz. Michael gets lost in the surrealist labyrinth of the film’s plot. We also spend a good bit of time discussing Jasper Sharp’s essential book covering the genre Behind the Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema. And so much more!
