The gang look to the present state of erotic thrillers and evaluate the latest offering of the genre, with pretty people, moral quandaries and conveniently placed staircases in Paul Feig's 2025 film The Housemaid.     Night on the Docks - Sax Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

The gang returns to the world of older, sexy Danish women (Anna absolutely insisted) for a tale of corruption, predation and the lengths someone will go to cover up their indiscretions in May el-Toukhy's 2019 film Queen of Hearts.     Night on the Docks - Sax Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

The gang turn to formalist experimentation for their latest foray into the world of erotic cinema, specifically looking over the quasi-desconstructionist giallo from filmmaking duo Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani with their 2009 film Amer.       Night on the Docks - Sax Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

The gang check out the dreamy exploitation story of a teenage sex worker, the boy who wants to save her, and the maniac cop who wants her dead in Katt Shea's 1990 film Streets.       Night on the Docks - Sax Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

The gang welcome back writer/director/actor Emily Bennett to discuss the cycle of emotional vulnerability and unresolved grief contained within the titular strip club in Atom Egoyan's 1994 film Exotica.   Follow Emily on Instagram. And check out her podcast The Tower.   (Oh, and the Jennifer Jason Leigh movie that Leslie refers to during the episode is Heart of Midnight (1988).)   Night on the Docks - Sax Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
