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.

Viewing Notes
Finishing my Franco trilogy for the week w/this based on a true story book adaptation of gay pornography drama. The story itself is compelling but the way this film is produced between the direction and production it feels like a glorified Lifetime true crime drama. Given the subject matter it’s not that provocative. Often it feels like it’s trying too hard to be provocative with certain scenes and whatnot but this is something David DeCoteau does in his sleep w/o even trying.
