Wipe that shit-eating grin off your face and heed all of the content warnings (seriously), because we're discussing Pier Paolo Pasolini's notorious anti-fascist 1975 film Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. Tagging in for the conversation is Zoë Rose Smith, the co-host of the Tainted Love podcast!Join us as we do a very deep dive into this controversial film, beginning with a Pasolini primer before parsing through the film's graphic depictions of sexual assault, torture, sadomasochism and coprophilia. This is an extremely challenging film, but dare we say we admire it?Plus: debating the queer representation in the film (can it be both positive and negative?), comparisons to our current political climate and discussing whether or not the film qualifies as porn (it doesn't).Questions?
