Well, we pretty much hate on Hannibal Rising for about 90 minutes here. Thankfully this is not the last episode of Eat The Rudecast. Miko has read Hannibal Rising as a novel, and fills in how poorly Thomas Harris adapted his own poorly written novel that he was blackmailed by Dino Di Laurentiis into creating. [...]
Fantasy is a useful tool and a beautiful way to play together. Exploring through fantasy is worthy of consideration when you are embarking into the world of ethical non-monogamy and multi-partnering because it is a risk-free way to discuss what works, and what doesn’t. Ginger and Prof give you permission to enjoy your fantasies together [...]
Sexual empowerment coach and co-hostess of the Sex Gets Real podcast, Dawn Serra, and the Intellectual Homosexual himself, Lucas Brooks AKA Lucky Charming, joined Lola on stage this month. As Joaquin threatened to drench NY Lola and the Double P rallied to put on an awesome show at Otto’s Shrunken Head. The crowd may have [...]
We’re joined by frequent guest and friend of the show Kate Kulzick, contributor to The AV Club and PopOptiq, and host of our favorite Hannibal podcast This is Our Design and wide ranging TV podcast The Televerse to discuss Ridley Scott’s 2001 film Hannibal, the final film in the Anthony Hopkins Lecter trilogy. We all [...]
Prof and Ginger take you for a sail and discuss their introduction and experience with compersion. No worries, the boat isn’t the S.S. Minnow. You’ll make it through this half-hour tour with just a bit of breeze blowing in your ears. Asking each other tough questions about how they each cope when compersion is harder [...]
After the decent Manhunter and the unacceptably mediocre Red Dragon, we tackle Silence of the Lambs, and are quick to point out that we all adore this film. It’s one of the greatest horror movies, and certainly the greatest serial killer film of all time. With such pedigree we find it difficult not to wax [...]
Ahhhh… it’s good to see my people again. Welcome back perverts. Many of you travel and have taken the time record a little bit of yourselves. Today I reward your efforts! This is truly a milestone, truly a day worthy of song and drink. It is the day I release a Gentleperverts Social Club where [...]
We begin the Anthony Hopkins Lecter Trilogy with arguably the worst of the three of them, Red Dragon, an ill advised eleven years later prequel that finds us with an incredibly uninteresting Will Graham in Edward Norton, serviceable at best Dolarhyde and Reba (Ralph Fiennes & Emily Watson), but a more restrained performance from Anthony Hopkins, [...]
Prof and Ginger tackle the conundrum that often in heterosexual relationships cross-gender friendships are considered odd, suspect, or even forbidden. Reflecting on their own experiences with sexy and “platonimous” friendships, they deconstruct the damaging cultural expectations for friendship when in relationships. Their take on open friendships means respecting each human deserves their own meaningful connections [...]
We’re joined by Sean Colletti, the other half of the This is Our Design team to discuss an epic example of ’80s movie, Michael Mann’s Manhunter, the first filmic adaptation of Red Dragon, as we begin our analysis of the Hannibal Lecter film series. We wade into the Brian Cox VS Anthony Hopkins – Who is [...]
Lola and the Double P took over the stage at Otto’s Shrunken Head on September 3rd. Co-hostess of the Carnalcopia podcast and all around badass Katie Mack and our favorite giver of go-go goodness Sweet Lorraine joined Lola on stage. Katie and Sweets were officially inducted into the Pussy Posse, (Pussy Tickles Ya’ll!! ) and [...]
Ginger and Prof spar a bit and share their strategies during an intimate conversation from bed. Finding escape in each other rather than escape from each other is a key component to being your partner’s biggest fan. This relationship philosophy holds compersion and generosity are necessary gifts to give one another through both challenging and [...]
Lola and the Pussy Posse took over the stage at Otto’s Shrunken Head on August 6th! Double P alumni, Francisco Ramirez and Foxy Squire returned to the show this month, and reminded us why we love having them on as often as we can. We came up with the official greeting of the Pussy Posse [...]
On this inaugural episode of Intellectual Foreplay, Prof and Ginger discuss curiosity. Remaining curious about one another through their 20+ year relationship has cultivated a deep love and a playful vibe. They share their strategies and motivations in getting to know other people, using a beginners mind in exploring new relationships, and how they cultivate [...]
For the third season running, Bryan Fuller et al have managed to shock us silent with the revelations and twists that bring the season to the close. With this finale possibly being a bit more final than the other two, we discuss whether it’s possible it could’ve ended better, worse, or even differently. We discuss [...]
Ophilia attended Gen Con 2015, a tabletop gaming con in Indianapolis. She received a suggestion to talk about it on The Kinky Geeks. Along with 5 straight days of boardgaming, she also managed to find kinky card games, sexy art, deviant cosplay and geeky burlesque. We talk about furries, crossplay and sexy afterparties. We also talk about [...]
We’re joined by an out of town friend, fan of the podcast and the show, Raina, as we discuss the penultimate episode of our season (hopefully not series). Raul Esparza gives his best performance of the series, Richard Armitage creates an otherworldly persona through movement and vocalizations as he truly becomes the dragon. We speculate [...]
Welcome back Perverts! So I’ve settled on twice a month instead of every two weeks. DEAL WITH IT. If you want more, contribute more! Put me out of podcast word talking business! Ignore my reality and substitute your own by sending your thoughts, your clips, your, to quote Donald Trump, your whatever, to dylan@lifeontheswingset.com and [...]
Formerly NBC’s Hannibal goes far off-book with this episode, taking us to a place where we smug book readers are just as uncertain about what is to come in the final two episodes of the season. The Red Dragon is thrown at Will’s family in a tense scene of stalking, Hannibal spends as much time [...]
The double P gained three new members this month when the owners of Shag Brooklyn, Sam and Ashley AKA the Shag Gals, and go-go goddess Ooh LaLoba joined us on stage. We kicked off the Fourth of July weekend with a kinky tiki party. We discussed getting your groove back after your long term relationship [...]
We’re halfway through the Red Dragon arc on Hannibal, and are being given both stunning beauty in the scenes between Dolarhyde and Reba, and stunning acts of CGI crappery (see the below CGI teeth). We go off on several tangents, Cooper calls some fans hipster douchebags and spends a good four minutes angrily ranting about [...]
It’s been a long time, dear listeners. We’re not sure how often we’ll be coming back, but for now we bring you an explanation for our absence. At the end of May, Sophie suffered a series of strokes. She has been recovering ever since and this episode is a very personal, deep look at what [...]
The Red Dragon arc reaches the beauty that separates this work of fiction from so many in this genre with the introduction of Reba McClain (Rutina Wesley) and beginning to peel back the story of Francis Dolarhyde. Meanwhile Will and Hannibal begin a dance of working together in their own family, as Hannibal remembers his [...]
