“Videodrome” w/ Mistress Genevieve & Peter Tupper – (The YKF Cinema Show)

“She’s totally in control of her pain” – Mistress Genevieve

The YKF Cinema Show gets sucked into David Cronenberg’s 1982 body-horror masterpiece Videodrome with professional dominatrix/dark cinema lover Mistress Genevieve and BDSM historian Peter Tupper (A Lover’s Pinch: A Cultural History of Sadomasochism).
