I would love to see a new version of this wonderful VHS Adult feature from over two decades back, in which Wes Emerson skilfully skewers a large number of his contemporary pornographers, hitting them where it hurts: making porn with delusions of grandeur.
Most of the objects of his ridicule are still famous directors: Paul Thomas, John Stagliano, the late John Leslie, Michael Ninn, Gregory Dark/Alexandre Hippolyte and Max Hardcore among them. Format has star Kelly O'Dell interviewing with each of them, looking for a movie role, and then we get to see a spot-on spoof of their usual material. Exception is Paul Thomas, who called "D.T." here is described as "a sensitive hack", and is hilariously mocked without actually having a film of hi spoofed.
Wonderful name-dropping gives the screenplay by Rodger Jacobs, a topical punch, while the low-budget sex scenes hold their own for XXX content, not merely meant to be amusing. Best of these is a spoof of Michael Ninn's big-deal sci-fi movies, with inspired casting of Jon Dough as the auteur named Mickey Nino, since he starred in the target features for Ninn (like "Latex" and "Shock".
Tony Tedeschi impersonates the great John Leslie, named John Leakey, and even plays his trademark harmonica to complete the spoof. Max Hardcore is called Max Hardon, and surprisingly looks more like a caricature of shock-jock Don Imus than the horribly creepy director. Johnny Holloway sort of stumped me, but I suppose it is meant to make fun of Jim Holliday, hardly worthy of inclusion among these other big-names like "John Sleaziano" or "Gregory Hippodrome".
Playing Kelly and DT's shrink is Mike Horner, brilliantly over the top in his NonSex Role.
For the 2019 version, I would focus on the female directors who have quietly taken over the creative end (what's left of it) in current porn: Dana Vespoli, Nica Noelle, Kayden Kross and oldtimers Skye Blue and Kelly Holland, and not to leave out gonzo, Mason. Skye appears here in her acting capacity, as uninhibited as I've ever seen her, starring in the Ninn send-up, doing her dominatrix thing, military cap on yet, with super-sub Summer Cummings and plenty of anal dildo action.
