Adult content creator, Rob Montana, joins me on DGP to discuss growing up poor, gay and Mormon in rural Montana. Montana recounts stories of visiting the local gay bars, coming out to his family before moving to Washington D.C. for work and graduate studies.

There Montana would meet his husband and enroll in medical school. During a dark time in his life, he juggled a marriage, medical school and a growing addiction to crystal meth before getting sober.

Montana would then find his way into the adult entertainment industry as a content creator and undergo a risky Penuma implant (penile enhancement procedure) that affected his livelihood as a sex-worker and throw him back into drug-use only to come out stronger.

Arch Brown, an amateur photographer turned incidental filmmaker first came to broad public attention through his films. During gay liberation’s first decade, Brown’s homoerotic films achieved an international following garnering amazing reviews.

Fellow filmmaker and producer, Jack Deveau, entrusted Brown with a surreal film which has been compared to the works of Jean-Luc Godard, Federico Fellini, Luis Buñuel and Jean Cocteau. So what is Arch Brown's The Night Before trying to tell us?

Dick Fisk was one of the most famous faces of gay erotica in the mid to late 1970’s and onward into the early 1980’s. He was manly, oozed sexuality and confidence and….that mustache. He appeared in only a handful of magazines and movies but his iconic look made him Falcon Studios first "instant" superstar.

In this episode we are going to celebrate Arch Brown, a filmmaker who would become a master craftsman and philanthropist after leaving the corporate world behind, his film, The Night Before, a beautifully crafted film that was on Variety’s 50 top-grossing film’s list in the nation for five weeks. And finally we will celebrate Dick Fisk, the archetypal Castro clone with the perfect physique and generous endowment whose contributions to the gay adult entertainment industry still resonate with his admirers today.
