Mondo Voyeurism

Close the blinds, flip the switch on the stag film projector, The Sin Syndicate are back and peering into the voyeuristic world of Bob Cresse and Lee Frost's underseen docu-roughie, "Love is a Four Letter Word." Forman 'Harvey' Shain plays a handsome young college student sucked into a world of dime-store loops, Tijuana sex shows, and sadomasochistic sorority initiations, culminating in a sleeping pill fueled nightmare that he'll never wake up from. Join us for a wide-ranging discussion with special guest Alex DiSanto on everything from copyright claims on orphaned films, Cresse's tragic run-in with the LAPD, and much, much more.
