Unless you’re neck deep in the world of sexploitation, you’re probably unfamiliar with the name “
Bethel Buckalew.” And even if you are familiar, you may have been led to believe that strange moniker was just another pseudonym used by secretive director Pete Perry in a series of hay-roller hixploitation pictures for Harry Novak’s Box Office International. Let's start with some facts. #1: Drinking moonshine and walking should be illegal. #2: We gotta do something 'bout that boy. And #3: Bethel Buckalew was a real person, and in Episode 14 of the The Sin Syndicate podcast, “
Moo Just a Little,” Casey and Gentry look at the man’s carefree, bovine-focused final film in his Sexy Southern series, “
Sassy Sue.”
Featuring a stacked cast of future hardcore starlets (Colleen Brennan, Tallie Cochrane, Sandy Carey), as well as the always amusing Buckalew muse, John Tull, “
Sassy Sue” is a fittingly stupid, but entertaining end to a successful series of Southern sex comedies featuring fantastic fiddle-heavy Country music from the duo of Southern & Hensley, and plenty of skin-on-skin-on-dirt action. So join us as we search for the backwoods liquor still, discuss barnyard loving, and debate the merits of mixing poontang and corn, in surely one of our most braindead episodes yet.
Stack the hay bales, prepare your bee'hind for measurement, and “
Moo Just a Little.”
