Episode 19: Arch Brown’s THE NIGHT BEFORE (1973)

This week on the podcast, we're taking a look at the sole big-budget feature from the filmmaker Christopher Rage once described as being "the man who practically invented gay porn," Arch Brown. The Night Before tells the story of Hank, a slacker with no real ambition in life other than to meet all the interesting people in New York City. And that he does — or does he? — when he runs into Paul one day in Central Park.

Over the course of the episode, we'll dive into Arch Brown's background, this film's role in the development of Hand in Hand Films, and whether or not it’s actually possible for a dildo to go into a butt, come out of a mouth, then go into another mouth, and then come out the other butt.
