SPRING BREAKERS f/ Griselda Venum – (The YKF Cinema Show)

“The spring breakers are the scum.”

Nicholas Tanek sits down with high-protocol dominatrix and one-woman haunted house Griselda Venum to break down Harmony Korine’s cult classic Spring Breakers. We dive into the film’s dark underbelly—exploring its BDSM and kink elements, the infamous gun-fellatio scene, grooming dynamics, power exchange, and the seductive corruption of youth. Griselda unpacks the film’s twisted masculine/feminine themes, class and race dynamics, poverty versus hedonistic excess, drugs, crime, and the way innocence spirals into chaos. From psychological domination and fear play to real-life parallels involving dangerous romance and moral erosion, we make everyone “Look at My Shit!”

“Spring Breakers is a comment on how we live in delusions.”

SHORTBUS w/ Briska – (The YKF Cinema Show)

“Who hasn’t had a threesome that started like this?”

Rope goddess, proud fem daddy, and poly household leader Briska returns to The YKF Cinema Show for a raw, joyful, and explicit deep dive into John Cameron Mitchell’s cult classic SHORTBUS — the 2006 NYC erotic masterpiece packed with unsimulated sex, chaotic orgies, queer healing, and post-9/11 messiness. Briska reveals how this film literally changed her life as a young sexual health advocate, why it still hits different 20 years later, and how it mirrors real kink community vibes — the good, the messy, the patriotic ass-singing, and everything in between. Consent is sexy. Trauma dumping at sex parties. Dominatrix real talk. Poly negotiations. Vibrating eggs gone wrong. We discuss why this unapologetically raw indie film remains a gateway AND provocation for the kink & queer community.

“Short Bus fundamentally changed my life.”

Goddess Rainey (from Charlotte, NC) joins Nicholas Tanek on THE YKF CINEMA SHOW for a breakdown of Steven Soderbergh’s groundbreaking 1989 indie masterpiece, Sex, Lies, and Videotape. She delivers sharp insights into the film’s core themes of control, honesty versus lies, vulnerability, and power exchange, while exploring consent, voyeurism, repressed sexuality, and raw desire. With her signature wit and expertise as a medical play aficionado and sadist queen, Goddess Rainey dissects James Spader’s impotent voyeur Graham, Andie MacDowell’s frigid-to-freed Ann, Peter Gallagher’s cheating toxic John, and Laura San Giacomo’s chaotic hedonist Cynthia.
