Episode 176: Waterpower (1977)

Special Guests: Shaun Costello, Sharon Mitchell, Jeanne Silver

A notorious adult film which blends the true crime of Michael H. Kenyon and the movie Taxi Driver, Shaun Costello's Waterpower stars Jamie Gillis as Burt, the Enema Bandit, who terrorizes women with his Bardex bag and nozzle.

We spoke to director Shaun Costello about the strange history of the film (which is often credited to Gerard Damiano) as well as "patient" Jeanne Silver. We also continue our conversation with Sharon Mitchell from our Smoker episode.

We're joined by Heather Drain to discuss this fascinating portrait of bicentennial New York City.
