Wanderlust opens with an adorable song accompanying
an equally adorable tease from Amarna Miller. Shot in
4K Ultra High Definition, the lighting is stunning and
creates a very natural and beautiful ambience.

For a small frontier town like Diablo City, there’s a lot
going on. Consumptive land baron Frank Garrett (Jay
Crew) may be yoked to his harpy wife, Pearl (Jessica
Drake), but his heart belongs to hooker Joanna
(Annika Albrite), and so does a deed to part of his
ranch and a map to “the most beautiful part of my
ranch,” which he gave her in a moment of post-coital
tenderness.

Penny Brooks provides her own music in the Madisons’ celebration of the great outdoors.
demonstrates absolute fire with Ryan Madison in
the opening scene. Taking place in a quaint little
bedroom somewhere woodsy means that noise is no
problem, and the throes of passion emanate with her
delight. Don’t be fooled by the sweetness of the the
soundtrack and styling—there’s nothing sweet about
the fucking. The girls are free to do as they please
with Madison, the sole male performer in this series
of scenes, and without strings and judgments, the sex
is hot.
There are only four scenes, but that’s because each
scene is a session of epic body-pleasing proportion,
as marked by the fact that the sunlight dwindles and
the orgasms keep coming. The performers never seem
to tire, and it really does seem like the kind of sex
one can expect when nothing is at stake. Hippie chic
is the aesthetic, and pretty Penny Brooks provides
her own music for the soundtrack, along with her
other oral talents—and she even whips out her guitar
while getting rammed by Madison. This scene is a
showstopper.
The chemistry is undeniable, as is the care and
attention put into making this movie so different
looking, from the wardrobe to the setting to the use of
natural light, giving it almost universal appeal, from
those looking for a beautiful, couples’ friendly movie
to seekers of just straight-up hot fucking and sucking.

Stormy Daniels ups the ante in Wanted.
saloon, flashy lady Dani (Stormy Daniels) is using
her considerable wiles and a bit of cheating to win at
poker, hiding cards in the well-filled bodice of her red
silk dress. When Garrett goes for a second round in
bed with Joanna and dies in the process—thankfully
offscreen—bad guy Sheriff Clayton (Steven St. Croix)
arrests her and takes the deed and map away, snarling,
“No man would give this to a whore” and condemning
her to be hanged for murder.
Garrett’s assistant, Samuel (Eric Masterson), and
Lilah (Allie Haze) know the real story. They beg Dani
and her sidekick, Birdie (Amber Rayne), to help save
Joanna from the noose. Birdie wants no part of it, but
Dani takes command: “Birdie, get my gun. And my
pants.” The resulting gunfight ends with Joanna and
her rescuers high-tailing it out of town.
Clayton tries to gather a posse, including passing
stranger Morgan (Brendon Miller), as the fugitives
head off. Morgan, it turns out, is a bounty hunter who
has a history with Dani, and when Morgan gets the
drop on her Dani gives her word to turn herself in
to Morgan—if she can help Joanna first. A duplicate
map gets found, and the group goes out to find what
Garrett called “the most beautiful piece.” They finally
find it as Clayton finds them, and an armed gunfight
ensues, with the outcome in doubt until the last
gunshot. Leaving Dani to settle up with Clayton.
Tech credits are first-rate, with exquisite
cinematography by Jake Jacobs and Andre Madness,
often in low light. Daniels’ script mixes period visuals
with contemporary dialogue, often spoken by Amber
Rayne as the Thelma Ritter/Bill Murray voice-of-
reason buddy character. There are 10 sex scenes
before the fadeout and the second disc is full of extras,
adding further value. Highly recommended.
