sexy comedy in the Wicked Pictures movie Second First Date. Quasar can
go light or dark—or mix the two, as in last year’s Ingenue (which garnered
Tommy Pistol an AVN Award for Best Actor)—but here he keeps the mood
sunny. And the cast seems to have a good time with the witty script.
Kyle Stone in a non-sex role makes the most of his scene as a lawyer who
SSelf-identified curmudgeon porn director Mike Quasar delivers a sweetly
tells married couple Debra and Richard (Mercedes Carrera and Derrick
Pierce) that they just can’t afford to get divorced. “I’ve been going through
your financials and it’s more like reading a Stephen King novel,” he tells
them. “Truly terrifying stuff. I don’t know who your financial planner is, but
they should be sued for gross negligence.”
So after a little bickering, the two agree to “set some ground rules and try
not to kill each other.”
It helps that they live in a posh pad and agree that it’s OK to date other
people. And they both have friends eager to push them back into the fray.
Angela (Angela White) is a fan of an Ashley Madison-esque site that
helps cheating lovers. “We just get it done and move on,” she counsels
Debra. “Then I go home to Dylan and treat him like the king he is.” And we
get to enjoy her sensual dalliance with Ricky Johnson.
Meanwhile, Richard learns about a different site from his buddy (Marcus
London), who’s got a way-younger girlfriend (Ivy Wolfe) in tow. “There’s
an app for gorgeous 21-year-old women?” Richard marvels. Again, viewers
peek in on London and Wolfe, who seem to get a kick out of the dialogue
Quasar provides them (“But you remember when Kennedy was shot,” Wolfe
teases).
EDITOR’S CHOICE/MARQUEE MOVIES | AVN.com
Age Inappropriate Clockwise from top left, Mercedes Carrera, Angela White and Ricky Johnson, Whitney Wright and
Derrick Pierce, Carrera with Tyler Nixon.
Things really turn comedic when both Richard and Debra hook up with their own
young lovers, Tyler (Tyler Nixon) and Whitney (Whitney Wright). Though they’re not
that far apart in age, there are some differences that Quasar exploits for comedic value.
(Best line is from Whitney: “You really don’t understand millennials. Drama is our fuel.”)
In the end, all’s well that ends well—or at least that’s what’s promised at the fade-out.
Good performances all around make this a pleasant erotic diversion.

CATEGORY: STAR SHOWCASE
AAAA
Five scenes from Twistys featuring Treat Lana Rhoades.
Ryan McLane comes home to find that Rhoades has
reprogrammed his video game controller and now it
controls her. Following that, Rhoades is the picture of
‘20s glamour in a very red bar, and fingers herself to
orgasm. Good showcase for Rhoades.

Elegant settings and care in production make this one
shine. The sex lead-ins tend to validate this high-end
endeavor, and high-caliber talent who stand out with
a dick up their ass really add to the enjoyment. A few
extras, like Jennifer White’s squirting, give the viewer a
bit more for their bang bucks.
