SEPTEMBER 2025 - SAGA EROTICA - THE EMMANUELLE COLLECTION Sep 17, 2025

Show notes

Join the Severin along with special guest, Producer, Gillian Wallace Horvat discuss the film series that's still as hot today as it was when it was burning up the silver screen... Sylvia Kristel's EMMANUELLE! We go disc-by-disc through this 4-film box set and give in to temptations of each film and all the wonderous bonus features that await us. The Sylvia Kristel trilogy has never seen extras quite like these, including archival making-of featurettes that haven't seen the public eye since they originally broadcast. Not to mention the ever illusive I, EMMANUELLE making it's disc debut! While this isn't starring Sylvia Kristel, it's very much deserving of the Emmanuelle name while also being a perfect example of a Severin release ripe for discovery.

As always, DJ Alfonso provides a playlist of songs inspired by this months drop!
