For me, it was time for rehab when I had been estranged from my family for a year and I spent Christmas shooting up heroin and meth cocktails, getting a black eye, and hiding in a seedy alley surrounded by garbage because of a drug-induced psychosis that had me convinced I was being chased by gang members.

For many people — especially beleaguered members of the press exhausted by press releases announcing things like Pornhub-branded lube, Pornhub promoting the cause of pet sterilization awareness, and a service nobody wants that involves texting emoji to receive porn — porn promotion doesn't do much to challenge the adult industry's reputation as a seedy business with a primary focus on immediate gratification.

Fieri and his partner, Bobby Flay—who, for the purposes of this show, is a hard-drinking, chain-smoking cop who doesn't think twice about putting a paring knife to a suspect's throat or shoving their hand into a George Foreman grill—hunt down the criminal, staking out shitty restaurants and household kitchens all over the seedy underbelly of Flavortown.

Lynch wasn't yet ready to splash around in the seedy noir shadows of L.A. (That would come later, in 2001's Mulholland Drive.) Perhaps he wanted to conjure up another beautiful dead blonde who could serve as a fresher cipher, a Marilyn without the baggage, an undiscovered starlet onto whom an entire village projected their fantasies of goodness and sin.

The theaters were sometimes victims of spotty upkeep, a kind of seediness that finally worked in the company's favor when "Rent," Jonathan Larson's musical set in a seedy downtown neighborhood, opened in 1996 in the long-neglected Nederlander (formerly the Billy Rose and, briefly, the Trafalgar), a match of setting and venue that helped a much-ballyhooed show run for a dozen years.

The political dynamics that over a decade ago seemed to be pushing Latin America in a fairer, more equitable direction have broken down dramatically in recent years, exposing the seedy underbelly of a mode of politics that progressive forces must confront and challenge if they want to rebuild a popular base to resist the rise of the radical right wing.

Instead, they say, for two days in a row he visited a seedy-looking storefront called Orchids of Asia Spa, where he spent less than 20 minutes per visit and paid between $100 and $200 for these encounters, one of which involved oral sex, with women who were, according to the police, prisoners, brought over from China with the promise of legitimate jobs.

With his cheeks flocked with old acne scars, the sebum gleam to his macrocephalic forehead, his long, exquisitely dented aquiline nose (his favorite feature), inexpiably seedy smile, and hair an untamable squall of dark curls, Bobby, at twenty-nine, resembled a not unhandsome but grotesquely ancient teen-ager, a physical template he happened to consider the Platonic ideal for a poet.

James Ivory's Quartet (1981), which plays through May 9th at the Quad Cinema in its new 4k restoration (and opens later this month in L.A.), is a visually dazzling recreation of 1920s Paris that subverts romanticized notions of the era, exposing the City of Light's seedy underbelly and the forms of bondage women endure in a hedonistic but still rigidly patriarchal society.

That seedy opening haunts Tess through the rest of her career at the restaurant: when her co-workers tell her they all thought she was too pretty to be good at her job; when she wins an office personality contest that she thinks is a compliment, only to learn it's really the "biggest whore" award; when she finally sleeps with her boss in exchange for a promotion.

Before gentrification erased all that had come before, Zownir captured New York's seedy years when prostitutes walked the streets, movie theaters screened porn around the clock, live sex and peep shows took loose change, and the West Side piers were the ultimate destination for anonymous sex—but also art interventions by Vito Acconci, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Peter Hujar in the years following Stonewall.

When the series premiered in 2004, Veronica (Kristen Bell) was 17 and still mourning for the life she used to live, before her best friend was murdered, before her sheriff dad was fired in disgrace for investigating the wrong man and all of Veronica's rich and popular friends turned against her, before Veronica joined her dad in becoming a PI and started spending her nights on seedy motel stakeouts.

During that brief November in 1976, beginning with sparsely attended performances by the Sex Pistols in art schools and seedy bars before they were even calling themselves punk, the ferocious sentiment of the music and culture—raw, fast, in your face—spread as a much-needed shot in the arm for Britain's youth, who were graduating from school with bleak job prospects and a general atmosphere of doom and malaise.

Here are two that I believe are worth more attention than they are getting: First, the dramatic increase in the number of sexual offenses and offenders, registered and not, coincides with two dynamics of pornography over the past 40 years: Its diminishing stigma and its movement from magazine racks and seedy video stores to the very devices we carry in our pockets and the TVs in our homes.

They spun gold out of Candelaria's success and went on to open Glass in 2012, a rock 'n' roll cocktail bar in Pigalle inspired by the New York bars in which Fontaine and Tsou had worked years prior; then the seafood-and-cocktails small-plates restaurant Le Mary Celeste in 2013; and Hero in 2015, a Korean-inspired canteen with inventive cocktails near the once-seedy Strasbourg Saint-Denis neighborhood.

I'd quit dyeing my hair and donate my high heels; I'd greet the occasional chin hair with a Buddhist master's zen and treat my body like a place I could exist without apology instead of something akin to a seedy apartment complex, a place I needed to constantly manage and improve, with unruly bits to be waxed and plucked, painted and dyed, trussed in spandex and lifted with underwire.

The podcast unfolds its strange road trip through first-person vignettes and narrated letters addressed to the title character; more explicitly built on horror tropes than either Night Vale or Wires, it tells the story of a woman searching for her missing wife in the spookiest liminal spaces of America's highways and byways — truck stops, dive bars, seedy motels and diners, and the vast expanse of the open road.
