In pornography, often the plot makes absolutely no sense except to justify some sort of kinky situation. A stepmother gets somehow stuck in the dryer, or a regular guy is abducted by a beautiful dominatrix and forced to dress in women's clothing and crawl around like a dog in the backyard digging for bones- which is what happens in Bringing Up Baby, a film that’s very very rooted in a sub-dom kink aesthetic and whose insane plot only makes sense as a…

Climax 2018
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
The opening dance sequence beautifully depicts modern society (or modern France), operating at its peak.

Café Flesh 1982
This was a super interesting watch, and very watchable. Its explicit nature makes it completely X-rated, but it’s not edited like a porn film.

Two Girls and a Guy 1997
For how terrible this movie is, it’s extremely watchable.
