Hello there!

In this week's bonus video, we're taking a look at the saucy screen tests that James Dean enjoyed with Paul Newman and Richard Davalos, which seem to reveal what we all suspected: Nobody could stand next to Dean without wanting to pounce on him. Also, we're checking out Sal Mineo's artistic nude, which at one point was advertised as "the biggest nude in the world." Plus I've got some bonkers old 1950s "educational" films about teenagers, featuring the strangest delivery of the word "pies" I've ever heard.

And! I've got a sneak peek for you at my next video, which dives into the amazing history of the film Victim -- possibly the first time the word "homosexual" was said out loud on an American movie screen, and that doesn't even begin to describe what made it unusual. I'll have lots more about Victim in the coming weeks, but for now I've got a story about a weird uncle that'll absolutely knock your socks off.
