The Sizzlin’ Something Weird Summer Challenge 2024: Teen-age Fantasies: An Adult Documentary (1972)

Dragon Art Theatre Week (September 8 – 14) Pssst. Hey…buddy… you wanna see some naked movies with your mom in em? This stuff here is premium split tail in action, my friend, straight from the vaults at Something Weird Video. It’s all the HARD X stuff on the SWV site that I could find on Letterboxd and let me tell you, when I say HARD X I mean it! These movies show it all baby, whatever sort of freaky shit you’re into, these movies have got it. Nipple clamps, ice cubes on the balls, lesbos, homos, cumshots, whips, leather, you name it! Plus we got air conditioning and the cleanest bathrooms on the deuce. Just step inside … and if you need some luudes or a lid talk to my man Shifty over at the popcorn counter. Tell him Klon sent you.

The only film by Frank Spokeman and the lone film by writers Robert Selmers and Herb Wheeler, Teenage Fantasies is the American cover version of Germany’s Schoolgirl Report and the one advantage that we have over German filth films is that our side has Rene Bond, which is a lot like having all the nuclear warheads.

Filmed at the Eugene Hotel in Eugene, Oregon, this starts with a square up scroll, in which the filmmakers want you to know that thanks to the pill and porn chic, the teenagers of 1972 finally have fantasies. And now, we’re going to get to see them re-enacted.

Most of the scenes — a teenage threeway, a girl interested in aggressive sex, the tradesman’s entrance — are your basic sex stories. Where this shines is when Suzanne Fields (Flesh Gordon) does a JOI scene a half century before internet porn and whenever Bond is on the screen, taking man after man as she introduces each segment. She’s got on fake eyelashes, blue eyeshade and looks like what I can only assume angels appear like, minus how the Book of Ezekiel described them as wheels with eyeballs all over them and four faces.

The only other performers who are not one and done are Carmen Olivera (A Clockwork Blue).

This was filmed by Andy Romanoff, who started as a production manager as Herschell Gordon Lewis’ films before shooting A Taste of Blood and Something Weird. He went on to work as a still photographer on Switchblade Sisters and The Swinging Cheerleaders, the Louma crane op on 1941Can’t Stop the MusicOne from the HeartWolfenFriday the 13th Part 3The EntitySomething Wicked This Way ComesTo Live and Die In L.A.Stop Making Sense, the Warrant video for “Cherry Pie” and Sweatin’ to the Oldies 3.

Teenage Fantasies also had its own psychiatric consultant, Dr. Roland W. Thaxter. I have no idea what he did on set.

But anyways, Rene Bond forever.
