Tune in for a bonus episode in which Sara and Sam joined the fine folks at Screens of the Stone Age for very unique film!

When Men Carried Clubs and Women Played Ding-Dong (1971) is an Italian s*x comedy in which cave women of two warring tribes stage a s*x strike until their cave men make peace. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a stone-age adaptation of the Ancient Greek play Lysistrata by Aristophanes. It’s all Greek to us, so we’ve invited Dr. Sara Hales-Brittain and Sam Siegel of the Greeced Lightning podcast to help us understand the erotic chicken cosplay, glory-hole fish emasculation, and petroleum-based conversion therapy. You heard me.
