Hello, Lovelies! We've got a special treat for you this week as we're releasing part one of this month's episode of Required Reading, our Patreon-exclusive show about putting pro wrestling and film in thematic conversation with one another. In this installment, Brian Bell and Hollis discuss the Sanctum of Silence match between Anton Voorhees and Richard Shhhnary from Hoodslam's "The Last Time We Were Happy Together." We delve a bit into the history of Hoodslam and its influence on pro wrestling before tackling a truly unique match that turns pro wrestling tropes and audience behaviors on their head to deliver a spectacle of silent violence with an underlying commentary on masculinity and personal expression. If you enjoy the show, consider backing LGBT In The Ring on Patreon (patreon.com/lgbtringpod) to hear part two, where we discuss the match alongside Harold Lloyd's silent film classic "Safety Last," when it drops next week and access the entire Required Reading library!
