Everybody's a Star

"I first saw Deep Throat about 15 years ago on grainy bootleg VHS tape," says Daniel Robert Epstein in the intro to his interview with Bailey and Barbato on the Suicide Girls website. "At the time I thought that Cinemax Friday Nights After Dark were more scandalous and titillating. However Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato’s documentary Inside Deep Throat schooled me just as it will school everyone else who forgot or never knew what an impact the seminal porno film Deep Throat had on this country."

Randy: I think every single person we interviewed for this film is a star and not just the obvious characters but even Norman Mailer, John Waters and Camille Paglia. For all of them you just want the camera to keep rolling. I bet there is about 10 reality series which we could spin off from this film.

DRE: Where did the footage of the debate between Harry Reems and Roy Cohn come from?

Randy: Bill Boggs used to have a show in New York midday. Harry wiped the floor with Roy Cohn on that.
