Poet Elaine Kahn, author of Romance or The End, joins the girls this week. “Where have all the great movie sex scenes gone?” A Zalman King inspired listener asks in a night email, and we answer. Elaine explains her favorite British reality dating show Flirty Dancing, and where the American reboot went wrong. A discussion of reality dating shows from around the world, with an emphasis on weird formats (including Netflix’s new show Love Is Blind.) Plus, why none of us enjoy The Bachelor! Then it’s a long piano recital about The Hunger - Tony Scott’s 1983 new wave vampire movie starring David Bowie, Catherine Denueve, Susan Sarandon and a scary posh Manhattan townhouse. We are divided on vampires and what they represent in fun ways! All this and a reading from Martine’s Sexual Astrology for this week’s Spooky Love February episode of Night Call.
