Episode 378: In The Seats With...Gerard Damiano Jr., Christar Damiano, Robin Leonardi and the 50th Anniversary of 'Deep Throat'

Just admit it....we've all watched it....On this very special episode we are putting our ideals of film preservation to the test and owning it as we dive into the history of an important piece of cinema that changed the pop culture landscape in ways that are difficult to imagine.  It's the 50th Anniversary of 'Deep Throat'...yeah THAT 'Deep Throat'.Unsatisfied and unfulfilled, a young woman (Linda Lovelace), derives little pleasure from sex. She feels a lot of “little tingles”, but wants “Bells Ringing! Dams Bursting! and Bombs going off!” Her roommate (Dolly Sharp ) sends her to an unconventional therapist (Harry Reems), who discovers the root of her problem. Her clitoris is deep down in her throat! The solution: a technique known as “Deep Throat.” Once cured, she devotes herself to helping others to find the sexual satisfaction that she so desired. With a new 4K remastering, 'Deep Throat' is kicking off the first leg of a multi city world tour as audiences are reminded of how a singular piece of cinema changed how the masses think and deserves to be preserved. We had an extra long conversation with the son of the original filmmaker Gerard Damiano Jr (a filmmaker in his own right).,his sister Christar Damiano, and Damiano Films principal Robin Leonardi (daughter of legendary Porn Star and Activist Gloria Leonard) to talk about the restoration process, the legacy of the film, Linda Lovelace  and so very much more.To learn more about the impending world tour of the film or to find out how to #VoteThroat and make this film apart of the Library of Congress National Film Registry, visit damianofilms.com
