Envisioned and directed for Adam & Eve Pictures by Kay
FFOR AN ART FORM rooted in humanity’s most primal urges, adult
sensuality. Of the five senses, only the visual never gets short shrift.
But in the quirky world of Forked, viewers will find all of their
pleasure centers fully engaged.
Brandt (who helmed the AVN Award-winning Babysitting the
Baumgartners), Forked is a tasty casserole that is part cooking
show, part reality TV, part porn movie—and 100 percent
entertainment.
The Forked project began last spring with a call for auditions;
that led to SFW audition videos of the Forked hopefuls, which
can be found on the movie’s YouTube channel. Full scenes were
available first on the Adam & Eve VOD site, and then later on a
double-disc DVD.
There’s a lot of content on these discs, with two rounds of
contestants participating in three main activities: cooking, eating and
fucking. We’re introduced to each one when they receive a formal
summons to Forked, delivered on a plush velvet pillow. Interrupted
during a phone sex session, Cristi Ann hastily hangs up to read
the invitation: “You are cordially invited to the Forked party, where
appetites are satisfied in the kitchen and in the bedroom.”
Indeed they are, with all the adult stars involved delivering detailed

AA 1/2
Anybody who’s had the dreadful misfortune of sitting through
an episode of the intellectual compost heap that is CBS sitcom
2 Broke Girls should know that its sole value to the
cultural terrain is its awesome potential as porn parody
fodder. Sadly, this porn parody does not fulfill that
potential.

descriptions of the dishes as they are prepared, tantalizing the listeners’ senses of taste and
smell. For the first two dishes, Cristi Ann salutes her Cuban heritage with lechon asado and
dulce de leche, while Dick Chibbles surmounts technical difficulties (a handheld food processor
on the fritz) to produce salmon covered in fruit salsa. The rest of the dishes range from
comfort food (Leya Falcon’s fried chicken and cornbread) to continental cuisine (Marcus
London and Tony DeSergio tag-team for chicken chausseur—and then do the same with Forked
host Mercedes Carrera). There’s something to whet every appetite, from Mia Li’s fruit tart to
Damon Dice’s “power breakfast” sandwiches, stacked high with eggs, turkey sausage,
cheese, bacon and veggies.
The sex scenes occur somewhat organically, not on the usual relentless porno
schedule. After Cristi Ann admires Jenevieve Hexx’s ink, the tatted brunette says,
“I like your … everything,” and proceeds to explore the blonde Latina’s every
curve. Dick Chibbles catches a glimpse of the action but he has to wait a
while before he gets to bang Alison Rey after some hot flirtation while
she’s crafting her healthy cupcakes.
Nicely shot by cinematographer Mike Quasar, both the cooking
scenes and the sex look delicious. And those who enjoy behind-the-
scenes content will find plenty to like in this two-disc set. As with BTS
interviews, Forked gives its stars a chance to let their personalities shine.
We can enjoy Carrera’s seductive swagger, Damon Dice’s virile, nice-guy
vibe. (A former chef, he compares porn to cooking: “It’s a very high-pressure,
high-intensity situation … you have to be on top of your game.”) Particularly
engaging is Falcon, who works her slutty-girl vibe to comic effect. “I know
I’m a little rough and crazy, but I try not to get rough and crazy with my
chicken,” she says. And when Dice interjects that dogs’ mouths are cleaner
than humans’, Falcon nods knowingly. “You know the dicks I’ve sucked,” she
interjects.
The last two sex scenes both feature Dice. First, he gets to play with Carrera
and Li, enjoying their firm bust lines, long black hair and neatly trimmed
bushes. And for the finale he’s paired with Falcon for an energetic fuck.
Afterwards, when he says, “It’s time to get cleaned up,” Falcon responds
slyly: “Well, I’m not doing the dishes.”
The audience, of course, has no such worries. They’ve gotten to enjoy
five sex scenes and a multi-course feast, with no cleanup required.

Real time porn, two and a half hours of it. Not exactly
cinéma-vérité, there are edits, mood lighting and
occasional music overdubs, but the idea is that the four
scenes are taking place back-to-back in sequence, like the
TV show 24. Play along.
