🎙️ 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…
“Your nipples remind me of my girlfriend’s clit.”
Jade Desires is back to discuss the art of the ruined orgasms, tease, denial, Odaxelagnia (biting), mindfulness, psychology books, and how primal players are the ones who ignite everything.
“Men’s nipples do not get touched nearly enough.”
What does it really mean when we say chosen family?
In this deeply moving live episode, Lady Lioness sits down with co-host Nicholas Tanek to talk about what happens when the BDSM community shows up in real life—not just in scenes, not just online, but in moments of loss.
“Power exchange is how I express my love for people.”
Briska is a legendary New Jersey rope educator and performer in the BDSM scene. She founded The Moth House, a small leather house dedicated to queer joy, community, and education. In this discussion, we explore her past experience modeling for major kink sites, including Hard Tied, Infernal Restraints, and Kink.com. She retired from modeling around 2010 to focus on tying others, creating dynamic scenes, teaching, and deepening her own rope and power exchange practices.
“Rope is an extension of myself.”

“2026 is the year of showing up.”
Eustacia joins YKF for the first one-on-one episode of 2026. She’s the legendary Boston Dominatrix who’s also a certified helicopter pilot—her spirit color is traffic cone orange. We discuss the dungeon reflex, the grief of a sub’s passing, being banned from platforms, NOLA hip-hop, The Lost Boys, and attempting to re-enact Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again” video.
“I’m still going to try and flush your head down the toilet.”
“We’re the top of the food chain.”
Mischief Schari (Mischief Matters/Mischief Manor) joins The Lady Lioness & Nicholas Tanek on YKF The Growl. We discuss running New Jersey’s coolest BDSM dungeon, having two lifestyle subs, being the hub of Nicholas Tanek’s whimsical creativity, LGBTQIA+ inclusivity, musicals, Princess Leia, Wonder Woman, and a 5-9 person orgy on the dungeon floor.
“You are the longest relationship you will ever have.”

“Engage in kink with as many people as possible.”
Mistress Vinyl Queen returns after many years to claim her throne as the queen of vinyl at YKF. We discuss San Francisco kink, being the OG of trampling, a flesh-colored cucumber in a prison cell, using barcodes for her shoe inventory, and balancing on a man’s chest while wearing heels.
“Kink is like always going to the gym.”
The Lady Lioness & Nicholas Tanek strip BDSM safety down to its bones — and rebuild it with consent, negotiation, risk awareness, and intentional power exchange at the core. We talk SSC, RACK, negotiation frameworks, scene safety, aftercare basics, and why cutting corners isn’t edgy — it’s sloppy.
Seasoned kinksters and curious newcomers ask questions, share insights, and deepen the conversation — because community education is part of the scene.
Whether you’re new to kink, kink-curious, or a seasoned player who knows safety is a skill you practice — not a badge you earn, this episode reinforces why discipline, communication, and awareness are the real marks of dominance and submission alike.

“Be thankful for what you are given.”
Justin Sayne (Fetish Mafia), The Lady Lioness, Anna Valentina, Mistress Sophie, & Nicholas Tanek join YKF Weekends for an episode on PRIMAL PLAY. We smash myths! Justin Sane detailed his quick-release asphyxiation collar for safe, mind-blowing restriction-plus-stimulation rushes, plus crew fantasies like Anna Valentina’s midnight forest hunts and alpha-sub claw sessions. Scent obsession, violet wands, knives, pack bonding, and themed aftercare kept it guttural and real—consensual, raw, community-driven. Producer’s note: We witness the birth of The Growl.
