Adult Time's "secret" trick of releasing tons of Pure Taboo content on its usually gonzo label Devil's FIlm starting last year escaped my notice till recently, and I'm catching up on watching them now. "I Want Your Friend" provides a four-hour showcase of recent episodes, first time on DVD format (after debuting on the PT website).
The DVD/VOD includes two feature-length vignettes, each running over an hour long. "If These Walls Could Talk" begins listlessly with Seth Gamble giving a very poor, mannered performance as a creep who epitomizes male chauvinist pigdom, giving cute Lulu Chu a hard time. He's a friend of her parents, giving her a place to stay while she looks for work, but making it clear "it's my rules" that govern her under his roof. She complains about the noise when he has lady friends over for sex, hence the stupid title here. But what the show consists of is merely a full hour of gonzo sex as his ladyfriend Slimthick Vic seduces Lulu and Seth joins in for a threesome. Nothing else happens and no ending is delivered in Penicio Del Toro's lousy script -just gonzo sex for the fans.
Ricky Greenwood directed this feature-length Pure Taboo vignette, but Penicio Del Toro's promising screenplay disintegrates after a fine plot twist. The rest of the episode is not believable and the ending stinks too.
Story has Ruckus (with his character name Ruckus also -a stupid touch) going to a "Loyalty Tester" played coolly by Katrina Colt. He wants her to play private eye and see if his fiancee Ashley Lane (she actually gets a character name -Sabrina) is faithful, suspecting she might be a lesbian. He doesn't care about her being bi, but just doesn't want her to be a cheater.
Colt's regular procedure is to flirt with men as target of her investigations and see if they're willing to cheat -she doesn't actually f*ck them. But Ruckus talks her into trying to similarly flirt with a woman, namely Sabrina.
Colt ends up seducing Sabrina and Ruckus catches them in the act, at which point a nice plot twist occurs. But after that we get gonzo sex which makes no sense at all, and the finale is dumb, just trying to be negative in the Pure Taboo tradition. Too bad this one was botched.
Given Bree Mills as writer and Siouxsie Q/Michael Vegas directing, I didn't expect much from "The Wing Woman", but it turned out okay for a change. The story is intriguing and the plot twist effective (while suspension of disbelief remains the weak point).
Lily Larimar and pal Charly Summer are prepping to go out on a date together with older man Charles Dera. Lily is, as usual, something of a chaperone, as Charly is the wild woman of the pair, and Lily likes to be careful and responsible. But just in case, since the date is at Dera's home, Charly is bringing along pepper spray.
Once there, Lily goes to freshen up in the bathroom and returns to find Charles is already f*cking Charly while choking her. Lily grabs the pepper spray and Charly gets angry at her, calling her a prude, who's spoiling everything. Lily takes umbrage at that and insists she's not prudish and soon is going all gonzo in a threesome with them.
The sex is hot and surpriingly they don't have lesbian sex, just competing (almost tag-team style) for Charles' attention. A surprise ending comes off well.
If the transition of Lily's character had been handled and justified better, this would have been a terrific, rather than passable scene. But Bree and her scriptwriters never seem to bother with believable psychology for their characters en route to the inevitable XXX action.
"Playing God" takes the formula of the Pure Taboo series and manages to find positivity for a change. I greatly enjoyed this perverse tale in which, for a change, good triumphs over evil, sort of. At least, and at last, we have a Pure Taboo episode that doesn't leave a bad taste in the viewer's mouth at the end, even though scripter Midnight is guilty of just that so many times before.
Per the title, story has Godparents Dee Williams and Ryan Driller taking matters in their own hands after a disastrous dinner with their friends Kiki D'Aire and John Legendary with that couple's daughter Natalie Brooks. Nat's parents are relentlessly mean to her, body-shaming her when she reaches for a dinner roll, and mistreating her with all the cliches of puritanical monsters from another century.
The audience is immediately identifying with Dee & Ryan's shock at this behavior, and thrilled at them butting in and telling the parents off. That ends the dinner, and poor Nat is taken home no doubt facing more unearned abuse.
Off-camera the parents die mysteriously, obviously at the hands of the so sweet but so vigilante-oriented Dee & Ryan, who welcome Nat into their home to get over her tragic loss. Ensuing indoctrination and grooming her for three-way sex with her godparents is painstakingly obvious, typical of Pure Taboo format, but in a spirit of love that is downright catching.
One can forgive starlet Brooks for stepping out of character as the XXX sex develops, as is so often the case and even necessity of porn to maintain its own need to depict sexual prowess for the viewer's enjoyment. Rubber-faced Dee is a pleasure to watch, and so believable, even if play-acting for the thousandth time, in portraying her sheer joy at having sex before the cameras.
This episode was directed by Anatomik Media, comprised of the team of Rhiannon and Dan Anatomik, who create specialty porn. Bree Mills doesn't receive her customary producer credit, which goes instead to Bree's company: Gamma Films.
