Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler are joined by journalist and film expert Brian Iskov, author of "Denmark on the Bedside" (2020), a beautiful study-cum-coffee table book about the Golden Age of Danish sex comedies. A wide-ranging discussion that covers:
- The cinema career and life of Brian;
- The book and its creative origins;
- Danish Sin (origins and different from Swedish);
- Annelise Meineche and how "17" got the Danish celluloid nudie ball rolling;
- Change in Danish censorship laws;
- The Bedside films v. the Zodiac/Starsign films (soft v. hard);
- Hardcore makes an entrance (in Denmark and Bedside);
- Ole Söltoft (the curse of Bedside), Annie Birgit Garde and Birte Tove;
- Mainstream actors appearing in ‘porn’ and public attitude;
- The legacy of Bedside today.
The crazy music at the end is from "Danish Bed and Board" (1972), where everyone is having sex with everyone in the last scene.
