Description

This week on the podcast, we're taking a look at the film that gave notorious "Master of Sleaze" Christopher Rage his nickname: his sole 16mm feature, SLEAZE. Hyped in advertising as being "ain't no LOVE STORY," SLEAZE documents the initiations and going-ons of an underground, 42nd Street sex club. With a cast of unknowns and heavy hitters like Casey Donovan, Daniel Holt, and Scorpio; and a visual and musical aesthetic that more closely resembles no wave than it does glossy, early 80s porn, SLEAZE is a unique — and controversial — early effort by the most infamous filmmaker of the decade.  Over the course of the episode, we'll dive into Christopher Rage's backstory, his unusual approach to music, and we'll also hear from him and stars Casey Donovan and Daniel Holt.
