It’s 2006, YouTube is in its infancy, and internet porn is still behind a paywall. Taking the stage name Brent Corrigan, a fresh-faced, wannabe adult video performer is molded into a star by Stephen, a closeted gay porn mogul who runs the skin flick empire Cobra Video from his seemingly ordinary suburban home.

so like james franco's hands are huge and that's all i took away from this, how do you even manage to make such a cast of actors act so unbelievably bad

Trying to find a James Franco performance that is actually good: Challenge level: REALLY HARD
James Franco seems to just excel at this stint what he really is: a terrible person, a bad actor and…
Look, I did a little research turns out he’s played 8 gay roles in his career. Now I don’t go to the “gay actors are only allowed to play gay roles” club, but when you have done it 8 times, you may want to share something to the class.
The rest of the cast is fine. Garrett Clayton is alright, he’s good looking, he’s better than this than in the Teen Beach movies, so he may be better suited to a maturer role. Christian Slateralso kinda been a meh actor, and with age his facecard can’t carry his performances.
This movie is painfully slow, just when it begins to get to the actually interesting part of the plot, it’s about to finish.
Side note: One of the production company logos had a sound effect that’s free on iMovie. There was like a hundred logos though.

The cinematography looks pretty decent, for a Porn movie 😭
(ANYTHING FOR JAMES FRANCO.)
