Went in with zero expectations, but this charming old comedy turned out to be a genuinely fun ride. Combining gay characters, a pride parade, and a heist plot in one movie sounds like a recipe that could easily fall apart, but when it's pulled off right, like it is here, you end up with something that feels satisfying and delivers exactly the kind of simple entertainment it promises. The setting is Chez Nouz, a gay cafe tucked into the heart of Amsterdam, run by an older guy named Adje who acts as a stand in father figure for Bertie, the bar's main drag performer, a guy who never actually knew his real dad and has spent years fantasizing that he might secretly be the son of some famous Dutch singer. Their little makeshift family also includes Babette, the straight waitress, and Rachid, a regular who Adje took under his wing and gave a room to after his own family kicked him out for being gay. The bar's other regulars include Peter-Jan, a good looking gay lawyer, and Gijs, a...
Meet Trent, Skyy, Guillaume, Edward, Teddy and River - the six pornstars of "Boy Boy Montreal." River and Cory Kane are doing a photoshoot together. Guillaume welcomes actors Teddy and Pierre Fitch for a spa at home. We see the steps that are taken and the business challenges when production companies want hire a new model. Th behind the scenes look at scripting to editing of these porn films, how often they get tested for STIs, preventions they take and how important it is for them to be careful. Something interesting happens when we enter the world of fake cum, penile injections and other magic tricks behind pornography. Skyy, Teddy and River visit a cosmetic surgery clinic in order to get an anal laser bleaching. Pornstars Jason Vario and Ethan Chase get a penile injection. Topics like gay for pay, or straight porn actors is discussed along with the usual topic of how easy or hard it for these porn stars to maintain a relationship in real life with their partners and what they think of the choice of vocation. The actor also talk about the continuous evolution of porn from the VHS days to production studios to the current trend of only fans or clips. They also talk about how video games within porn and AI can probably disrupt the industry.
As I mentioned, I wasn't sure if I am going to get into this reality show cum documentary style show, but thanks to the six individuals chosen, it was a treat to watch. All of these actors were a delight and I will admit that I was the first one to be pleasantly surprised because I did not expect that. They were funny, charming, they knew hat they were talking, handsome, they didn't shy from talking of all sorts of issues within gay porn right from body type to penis size to drugs to steroids, to shelf life of actors to relationships and everything else. We also see these people meet other people involved in the industry directly or indirectly and get their perspective. There are sessions with sexual health expert, a psychologist and the funniest when they answer to some very personal yet awkward questions. I didn't expect that all these actors would be so engaging. Of course, icing on the cake is to see some film shoots also happening. Hat surprised me most was the whole obsession around penis size, tricks that production companies to do for fake cu, the whole injecting penis was scary by the way. Amongst a lot of documentaries and shows centered around gay porn industry, I have to say that this was the most fun to watch, engaging, charming yet also very informative. The no hold barred kind of interaction an interviews and discussions was very refreshing and almost no one shed away from talking and discussing all uncomfortable topics. I definitely applaud the makers of the show. (6/10)
