Before streaming, before OnlyFans, before incognito mode — there were blue cinemas. This week, we’re peeling back the curtain on the forgotten world of adult movie theaters: where porn was communal, seats were sticky, and trench coats weren’t just for the weather.
We’re talking about how these spaces shaped everything from censorship laws to queer cruising culture, why the U.S. Supreme Court once had to define porn (and totally failed), and how a moody French romance film sparked a legal firestorm. Plus: what’s left today — and how places like Hush in Sydney are keeping the flicker alive in a very modern way.
Grab your popcorn (or maybe… don’t) — we’re going in deep.
