1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Guess who’s back? The podcast returns for a special holiday Fistmas treat, with one of the roughest films we’ve covered: Roger Earl’s BORN TO RAISE HELL. Filmed with an unflinching documentary feel, Earl’s film comes with a disclaimer that it is 'based on a psychological study of a sadomasochistic relationship between adult men.' Quite an understatement for a film that features golden showers, ruddy beaten asses, alligator clamps, and — yes — brutal fisting. We’ll go in-depth on the Brazilian leather icon and star sadist, Val Martin; discuss the cyclical influence of Fred Halsted and Earl; and learn why the film is banned from screening in L.A. to this very day. And speaking of L.A., we also take a deep dive into one of the most notorious chapters in the city's queer history: a 1976 charity &quot;slave auction&quot; that resulted in the arrest of 40 leathermen, including many of the principal cast and crew of BORN TO RAISE HELL, Fred Halsted, and the staff of Drummer magazine.&amp;nbsp;We cover the raid from its initial discovery via a postal inspection informant to detailed reports of the auction to its the accused’s lengthy legal battle. This is a corker of an episode — sit back, grab a recycled beer, rest your legs on a willing sub, and listen!
