Unwatchables is excited to welcome Jetta, otherwise known as Letterboxd’s “theironcupcake,” to this week’s episode! Our guest brings her considerable expertise to discuss the “Golden Age of Porn,” that bygone span of the 1970’s where theatrically released hardcore films enjoyed commercial and even critical success. We start with 1973’s The Devil in Miss Jones, Gerard Damiano’s follow-up to Deep Throat that still stands as the highest-grossing adult film and even earned a positive review from Roger Ebert. Next up, we compare two very different approaches to pornographic movies: the zany, Airplane-style comedy of 1976’s The Opening of Misty Beethoven, and the grim drama of 1979’s Her Name Was Lisa.
