Hello, my name is Justin Clue and I'm here today with Will Sloan.

And you're listening to The Important Cinema Club and make sure to dim the lights for this one.

Yeah, better keep the kids out of your earbuds for this one.

Because we're going to use probably some dirty language.

We're going to go blue because we're talking about writer, director, editor, artist, Gerard Damiano.

Director of Deep Throat.

Now, I remember when Gerard Damiano died on weekend update that week on SNL. Seth Myers delivered

a joke where he said, Gerard Damiano, the pioneering porn director of Deep Throat, died this week at age 80.

Of course, Deep Throat is primarily remembered as being well directed.

Boat.

Sort of garbage at the TV.

I mean, he's not wrong.

Yeah, I mean, Deep Throat's not a very good movie.

But what Seth Myers, of course, didn't understand. Perhaps he would not wrong. Yeah, I mean, deep throw is not a very good movie, but what Seth Myers, of course,

didn't understand, perhaps he would have understood. If he had watched Gerard Damiano's

filmography. If he had, you know, dug into his local porn store and found the shitty,

sourced from an old VHS DVD of memories within Miss Aggie. Which has an insane cover that we're going to get into when we talk about the movie.

Maybe he would have known that beneath Gerard Damiano's exterior lay the soul of an artist.

But first, we got to talk about Deep Throat.

This is the film that blew up the feature-lengths porn scene.

It was a cause celebres.

It resulted in a bunch of insane court cases.
