🎙️ Growl Podcast – Movie Recap & Review: Preaching to the Perverted

In this episode of the Growl Podcast, Nicholas Tanek & The Lady Lioness dive into the cult classic Preaching to the Perverted (1997)- a provocative, controversial, and surprisingly insightful look at the BDSM underground of the late 90s.

Join us as we recap the entire film, break down its unforgettable characters, and explore the film’s themes of morality, sexuality, and power. But we don’t stop there…

We also compare the movie’s portrayal of kink culture with today’s consent-centered BDSM community, discussing how attitudes toward kink, consent, and sexual ethics have evolved over the past few decades.

Expect a whimsical, humorous, and thoughtful analysis as we unpack:
✨ The film’s plot, twists, and most outrageous moments
✨ The characters and their motivations
✨ The political and cultural panic around BDSM in the 90s
✨ How the movie’s portrayal compares to modern kink culture and consent practices
✨ What the film surprisingly gets right (and hilariously wrong)
