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.”
