Emmanuelle 5 (with Monique Gabrielle & Steve Barnett, Air Date: 8/27/93)
Added 2022-01-13 04:51:41 +0000 UTC(Outro 9:09)
Happy Wednesday, Patreon Pals! Tonight we have a really fun episode from “Emmanuelle“ Week featuring the truly iconic Ms. Monique Gabrielle (with the equally iconic Mr. Steve Barnett 😉).
I‘ve gotta dig up the rest of Emmanuelle week for ya, because this series has a vast history that needs to be explored…deeply. 😉 If JB hasn’t made a chart explaining all the different Emanuelle/Emmanuelle movies (which are still being made to this day!), I’ll make one for us. 🖤
Enjoy, and Happy Scream Week!! (It’s also JB’s 40th Anniversary Week, but y’know…priorities. 😉🖤🖤)

We all loved it ! Great homage to the original. Lots of great nuggets in there. Loved the salute to Wes Craven.

2022-01-17 07:42:36 +0000 UTCOh no way!! That definitely needs to be corrected!!
2022-01-17 07:42:26 +0000 UTCInteresting. Though I feel there’s an extremely pointed, confirmation biased personal slant to this article. The author wants to color it all as very tragic and harrowing but is mostly using conjecture based on a handful of comments and their own weighted interpretation. The truth is likely somewhere in the middle, per usual. Laura likely wasn’t nearly as hedonistic as she’s often painted, but probably far more so than this article allows. The author clearly dislikes this sort of film and that colors the whole piece.

2022-01-15 02:17:51 +0000 UTCIt’s interesting when Joe Bob asks Monique if Emmanuelle is pure male fantasy and whether any Women could actually be like her. By most accounts Laura Gemser pretty much was.

2022-01-13 18:58:23 +0000 UTCIn fact, I think it might've been one of those free weeks, and they were using it to entice people in to paying for both Showtime AND The Movie Channel.

2022-01-13 18:37:29 +0000 UTCI kind of love that "Emmanuelle Week" was mainstream enough to be on Showtime instead of TMC. I remember that at the time, too.
