Everyone growing up
watching ’80s porn should
really appreciate the detail
and love that went into
making this parody of that
E
era. Director and writer Will
Ryder takes us back in time,
back when Jim South’s World
Modeling and Reb’s Pretty
Girl International were the
only real agents in town.
Hollywood in 1984 was
nothing like George Orwell
predicted, folks! This is
evident here, where modern
and current performers are
used to portray stars of this
In Their Shoes Playing ’80s stars are (back row) Mia Austin, Zoey Monroe, Natasha Vega, (front row) Angelina Chung, Ashlee Graham, Lucy Tyler, Courtney Shea, Cameron Dee. Top right, Tom Byron.
bygone time. And, as a whole, they do a very
good job, often resemble those they mimic,
and basically have fun doing so. With attention
toward tongue-in-cheek authenticity and humor, a
cheesy soundtrack that could have been from back
then keeps the beat going at a sleazy tempo. And
don’t forget the return of pubic hair.
Back then the stars, eager for work, often
hung out at their agent’s office. Playing agent Jim
South, Tom Byron narrates some of the scenes.
When a stand-in is needed to play Byron himself
(a client of South’s back then) for a sex scene
with Traci Lords (played by bubbly Lucy Tyler), Tyler Nixon assumes the role.
While Lords is the obvious headliner and raison d’etre for this release, it is also
about history, and short stories and origins are provided of stars like Nina Hartley
(Ashlee Graham), Amber Lynn (Cameron Dee), Samantha Strong (Carter Cruise),
Christy Canyon (Natasha Vega) ... nearly a dozen altogether—plus the guys.
The sex? It is pretty much also what was often seen in 1984: multiple positions
without getting too crazy. Even the non-sex roles—you know who you are!—are a
delight to see, even if only momentarily, as most were also in the biz during that
time period. A narration, primarily by the very sexy voice of Misty Stone, fills in the
blanks in the story.
Relive the basics of the Golden Age of porn, which pretty much ended when Traci
Lords’ true age was revealed—this is an absolute must-see.

Karlie Montana, Jenna Sativa, Kenzie Taylor. 116 Min.
CATEGORY: ALL-GIRL, STAR SHOWCASE
AAAA
This is the AJ Applegate show—she is in every
scene either as half of a girl/girl couple or, in the one
exception, part of a sizzling threesome with Kenzie
Taylor and Karlie Montana that is virtually a free-for-all
of fondling fingers and busy tongues.

CATEGORY: COMEDY
AAAA
The majority of the scenes here begin with some
humorous set-ups between Ryan Driller and Tommy
Pistol—followed by flat-out lecherousness in the guise
of righteousness as they elicit sex from their next willing
disciple, all of whom are young and eager to make these
church elders happy.
