Dial-a-Degenerate

About This Movie

So, 'Dial-a-Degenerate' is this bizarre little softcore comedy from 1972 that's wedged into the fringes of adult cinema. The premise revolves around a phone sex service that dives headfirst into all sorts of wild sexual escapades—whipping, elbow licking, even bestiality, which gives the whole thing this absurd and surreal atmosphere. The pacing is erratic, jumping from one ludicrous scene to another, almost like a fever dream of sexual exploration. It's not something you'd call polished by any means, but that's part of its charm. The performances range from awkward to hilariously over-the-top, showcasing a certain unintentional humor that keeps it engaging, even if you’re not quite sure whether to laugh or cringe.

This film is relatively scarce, often lost amid the sea of 1970s adult films, which makes it a fascinating find for collectors. It's been hard to pin down a solid release history, and many copies float around in varying degrees of quality. Its eccentric themes and oddball humor have garnered a niche following, though, making it a peculiar entry for those interested in the quirks of softcore cinema.
