Weekend Passes

It was only a matter of time before the Sin Syndicate covered…a 3-D film! Shot in OptoVision and featuring a bevy of familiar sexploitation beauties, Prison Girls (1972) was not a project that director Tom DeSimone looked back at with fondness. Before his passing in October, DeSimone chatted with our very own Casey Scott in a wide-ranging interview that touched on the entirety of his career: early student film work, producing gay pornography, as well as his more mainstream films such as Chatterbox (1977) and The Concrete Jungle (1982). That interview has never seen the light of day until now, and is included in edited form after a classic Sin Syndicate discussion about the major players both behind the scenes and in front of the camera of Prison Girls. Some of the key cast members being: Jacqueline Giroux (Erotic Adventures of Zorro), Annik Borel (Werewolf Woman), and Tracy Handfuss (All-American Girl). But somehow, surprisingly, maybe the most interesting of all is the information we’ve dug up on John Barnum, the bare-it-all male star of The Adult Version of Jekyll & Hide (1972). So soap yourself up real nice and prepare for a two-day furlough, we’re giving out Weekend Passes for good behavior.Episode Specific:Purchase Prison Girls from Kino LorberPre-Order I Used to Be Uschi from Severin FilmsLinks:Join the community on PatreonInstagram with us at The Sin Syndicate Follow us on Letterboxd: Gentry & CaseyCheck out the Something Weird ChannelListen to other podcasts on Someone's Favorite ProductionsContact: thesinsyndicatepodcast@gmail.com
