Dexter

It's time for that perennial Holiday classic, the Dexter Christmas Show!

This is really the seventh season episode, Do The Wrong Thing, which just happens to take place around Christmas. But does that automatically make this a Christmas show? Maybe. Like how Die Hard and Batman Returns are Christmas movies, just because they take place around the Holidays.

Dexter--the serial killer who kills other serial killers--captures another killer by the name of Hannah, played by the lovely Yvonne Strahovski. And, following his usual MO, Dexter wraps her down to a table in a tent that's filled with Christmas decorations. She's completely naked under her wrapping.

But instead of killing her, Dexter cuts Hannah loose and makes love to her right then and there. This scene is simply WONDERFUL, and you can see it right here.

Night Before Christmas

Tiffany thought she would enjoy a nice, cozy Christmas at home. Boy, was she wrong! Find out what happened (and what didn't) under the mistletoe right here.

Note: the picture I used here is from Jake and the Fatman.

Soldier Blue

I can't recall if this was the very first bondage scene that I saw as a very young boy, but I do remember being memserized by this when I first saw it on TV many years ago.

Soldier Blue starred a young Candice Bergen, who gets captured by Donald Pleasance and gets tied up in the back of his horse-drawn wagon (along with a soldier played by Peter Strauss).

Bergen and Strauss later get tied to a tree, from which they eventually make their escape.

I didn't see the poster for the film, which featured a barefoot and bound woman, until I was an adult. I still wish Bergen was dressed like this when she was tied up. Oh well.

Return of Swamp Thing

Heather Locklear is the lead actress in Return of Swamp Thing, the 1989 sequel to the original Swamp Thing movie. She plays Abigail Arcane

And, as you can see, Abby gets herself into a wee bit of trouble.

Louis Jordan plays Heather's evil stepfather, Dr. Anton Arcane, who's still doing ghastly experiments in the Florida swamps.

And, from this scene, it appears that Arcane's step-daughter is next for him to experiment on.

Heather doesn't look too pleased with this turn of events.

Sarah Douglas plays Arcane's lab assistant. She was also in Superman II as Ursa.

But no worries, Swamp Thing comes to save the day.

Return of Swamp Thing was directed by Jim Wynorski (Chopping Mall).

Swamp Thing

Adrienne Barbeau stars in the 1982 film Swamp Thing, which was based on the DC Comic of the same name.

At one point in the film, Alice Cable (Barbeau) is captured by the evil Arcane (Louis Jourdan), who "invites" her to dinner.

Cable sits tied to her chair with rope, while Arcane entertains his other dinner guests, who apparently have no qualms about seeing a woman tied to a chair.

Although she's not barefoot (Cable has been outfitted with shoes, along with the dress), this remains one of my favorite bondage scenes, thanks to the ironic situation of a woman struggling for her life against her bonds--all while in the middle of an extravagant dinner party.

This first Swamp Thing movie was directed by Wes Craven, who would go on to direct the horror masterpiece A Nightmare On Elm Street right after this. Swamp Thing would get a sequel, plus several TV shows, including a recent short-lived series that aired on the CW.

Bellamy

Jacqui Gordon plays the damsel in Bellamy, an Australian TV series. This particular episode aired back in the 1980s.

She plays a young woman from a wealthy family who has been abducted for ransom.

This is one of my all-time favorite clips--because, when she's abducted, Jacqui is barefoot, and clad only in her bra and panties. This is all she wears throughout her bondage scenes.

The clip is pretty long, with a lot of nice moments, which you can see right here.

The Ledge

Liv Tyler (The Lord of the Rings) stars in The Ledge. A drama/thriller about her dealing with an abusive boyfriend.

Tyler plays Shana, who works at a hotel. She gets an order to deliver some booze to one of the rooms, only to see that it was her bitter boyfriend who had called her. As Admiral Ackbar would say, "It's a trap!"

Taking her hostage, the boyfriend, who's not the most stable dude around, strips Shana of her uniform, down to just her black panties, and ties her to a chair.

What's interesting is that she's tied to the chair backwards, so that her bare chest is covered. But she's still clad only in her black panties, with a nice shot showing her bound bare feet.

And she's even ball-gagged to boot. No worries, she survives this encounter. Whether it's dealing with Orcs, or psychos in hotel rooms, Liv manages to come through it all.

Disclosure Day First Look

Steven Spielberg is back in the SF genre with his latest, Disclosure Day, a movie I didn't even know the title of until seeing the teaser trailer just a few days ago. It stars Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place 1&2) and comes out June 12, 2026. Blunt is one of my favorite actresses, and Spielberg is...well, it's Steven Spielberg directing an SF film, so I really want to see it. The teaser is very creepy, so I'm really looking forward to this.

Performance Lacking

A bikini-clad snoop sneaks into an under bunker which contains some hidden high tech. And she's captured and tied up. And then the real drama starts, which you can see right here.

Note: The picture I used here is from Slaughter.

Very Short, But Really Sweet

This scene is from a little known film called Troppo Rischio Per Un Uomo Solo, which was released in 1973.

In this scene, the hero tied up twins on a bed. It's a wonderful shot of two gorgeous, barefoot women who are hogtied. The bondage nicely displays the soles of their feet.

The catch with this scene (and there always has to be a freaking catch, right?) is that it's very, very short. Just ten seconds. Yep, you read that right: it's only ten seconds long.

Oh, but wotta scene! And the file is still big enough to offer a very good picture quality. You can get this right here.

Top Ten Movies of 2025

Superman -- One of the best Superman movies in recent years (although not as good as Man of Steel), with Superman interacting within a fully fleshed out DC Comics universe. And Nicholas Hoult is excellent here as Lex Luthor. Nothing BF or bondage to be seen. (Warner Brothers)

Sinners -- A vampire film with musical numbers? Or a straight on vampire musical? Either way you slice it, Sinners was a pleasant surprise from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler. Nothing BF or bondage to be seen. (Warner Brothers)

Thunderbolts* -- Easily the best superhero film of 2025, with well-drawn out characters and a gripping storyline. No BF stuff worth noting (just a BF guy in one scene), but the entire team get their hands tied behind their backs in one scene. (Disney)

Companion -- A fantastic horror/SF film where the twists keep on coming. The movie is great enough as is, but it also has a superb BF bondage scene with lead Sophie Thatcher. (Warner Brothers)

K-Pop Demon Hunters -- I never thought I would go for this one (I'm not a very big K-Pop fan, myself), but *DAMN* this flick is really very funny, and brilliantly animated! No BF or bondage here. (Netflix)

Dangerous Animals -- A great horror movie about a serial killer who uses sharks to kill his victims. Plenty of BF scenes, as well as BF bondage scenes. (Shudder)

Fantastic Four: First Steps -- After several cinematic versions of this classic comic, Marvel got it right with this film, with the F4 battling a faithfully realized Galactus. No bondage, but Sue Storm and the Silver Surfer have several BF scenes (with the female Silver Surfer going BF pretty much throughout the film). (Disney)

Warfare -- A grim--and extremely gripping--film that follows US Navy Seals on a combat operation in Iraq. It's a great film that's based on a real life account. No BF or bondage here. (A24)

Weapons -- Very scary horror film that has a group of children disappearing. Extremely intense and well done. The storyline pulls you in from the very beginning and never lets go. Nothing BF or bondage wise. (Warner Brothers)

Jurassic World: Rebirth -- The dinos are back, and ScarJo's got them. I really enjoyed this one. It's great having this series back, and I really hope they make more Jurassic films with Scarlett in the lead. No BF or bondage here. (Universal Pictures)

Best TV Shows of 2025

Wednesday Season 2 -- It's just great to have Jenna back. And Woe Thyself, the body switching episode, is my favorite of this season. No BF, but the very first episode has Wednesday tied to a chair and gagged. (Netflix)

The Pitt -- A far more realistic look at an ER, with each episode covering an hour per episode over the course of a shift. It works superbly. (HBOMAX)

Marvel Zombies -- A fun dark ride through an alternate Marvel universe that's been taken over by zombies. Watch all four half hour shows back to back and you've got yourself a two hour zombie movie with superheroes. (Disney+)

Andor -- This series was simply marvelous. The final episode takes us right up to the events of Rogue One. Andor is one of the greatest Star Wars projects since the original trilogy series. (Disney+)

The Bondsman -- A fun horror TV series with a bail bondsman being brought back from the dead to hunt demons. Depite good ratings, it's been canceled after only one season. But it was still enjoyable and is recommended. (Amazon)

American Primeval -- a superbly done one-shot series that shows the darker side of the American West in the 1800s. Betty Gilpin is fantastic in this. (Netflix)

The Eternaut -- Based on the original comic, this is a great series about an alien invasion in Buenos Aires. It deals with a group of people struggling to survive at first, and then later try to fight back. Superb. (Netflix)

Paradise -- What starts out as a gripping murder mystery expands into a vastly entertaining science fiction tale that remains enthralling from start to finish. (Hulu)

Only Murders In The Building -- While it's not a new show, it was new to me, since I binged-watched the first five seasons over the course of a couple of months. An enjoyable and cute murder mystery of the cozy kind. Some bondage with Selena Gomez here and there, but it's pretty slight. (Hulu)

The Diplomat -- Keri Russell returns as the US Ambassador to England in a wonderfully intense series that's also very funny at times. Some very nice BF scenes with Keri in season three. (Netflix)
