Kiss and Tell

About This Movie

Kiss and Tell from 1980 is a wild ride through the late-night radio scene, where the DJ is a brazen character lost in his own debauchery. The atmosphere is raw, with a loose, almost improvisational feel that matches its themes of sexuality and hedonism. The pacing can feel erratic, but it captures that sense of spontaneity you’d expect from a radio show gone off the rails. It’s not just about the shock value; there’s an exploration of the era’s attitudes towards sexuality that’s as revealing as it is entertaining. Practical effects are minimal, but the performances, especially from the lead, offer a glimpse into a uniquely gritty, unrefined world that some might find fascinating.

Kiss and Tell holds a curious place in the collection landscape. It hasn't seen many reissues, making original prints somewhat elusive. The film attracts attention for its distinctive portrayal of 1980s radio culture, which might explain why collectors find value in it, despite its obscurity. The scarcity of quality copies adds to its intrigue, making it a topic of discussion among collectors who appreciate the unconventional narratives of the era.
