Description

We wrap up our month of horror-themed titles with perhaps the spookiest of them all: Peter de Rome's nightmarishly psychedelic 1976 film, THE DESTROYING ANGEL. Tim Kent stars as Caswell Campbell, a seminary student torn between the cloth and the flesh and plagued by visions of his more endowed doppelgänger. As he loses himself in hallucinogenic drugs and increasingly debauched gay sex while on sabbatical, will his crisis of faith bring about his end? Equal parts Edgar Allan Poe, magic mushrooms, and Pink Floyd, THE DESTROYING ANGEL is a sex film like no other -- and over the course of our discussion, we'll dive into each of its primary influences and inspirations.

Ask Any Buddy is a podcast companion to Elizabeth Purchell's mashup film of the same name. In each episode, we'll explore one of the 126 gay adult films used in its creation, from seminal titles by the genre's auteurs to oddities and obscurities that deserve a second look.
