Dirty Business: The Erotic 80s

Listening to Karina Longworth's Erotic 80s podcast series, I realized I have pop culture knowledge of, but haven't actually seen, a lot of these films. This is my attempt to remedy that. First three films are 70s, but lay the groundwork for what's to come.

See my Erotic 80s Adjacent list for additional films that didn't fit into Longworth's series.
