The art of Annoyance

Midnight Movie Gumbo Podcast ·

2024/12/12

We rewatched a few films recently, and couldn’t help but bring them up in this episode. Our ADHD driven podcast tends to go many places at once , and being sick while recording not to mention equipment failure can be quite annoying.

Which actors do our listeners have in mind that you can’t watch them in anything based on one

2024/12/05

We’re getting steamy tonight folks, and having a blast with this topic. The 1970s brought us the detective XXX features of John Holmes , and the beauty of Linda Lovelace in Deep Throat. Through the years the adult films would add their spin to several Hollywood Cl-Ass-ics , and go on to show us that nothing is sacred from a XXX remake. Finally…..adult features that we can watch from beginning to end, and not feel the need to fast forward to just the sex. From the big budget Pirates Of the Caribbean
