Oh my god.

This porn parody has skyrocketed to one of my favourites ever. For many reasons, not least because I was a huge Rocky nerd growing up. My heart, now, is with Hedwig, but I couldn't resist watching the Rocki Whore Picture Show when given the chance by Good Vibes.

Brad, played by Rocco Reed, and Janet, played by Jessica Drake, were hilarious to watch as a (now-married) couple who get lost thanks to a rogue GPS. "You will be lost in 200 yards" the GPS says, which made me giggle. They have some pretty hot sex in their car before deciding that maybe they ought to go find a phone to use to get back to their honeymoon. Janet is shown to be pretty hot and horny, but in this really sweet way that I found appealing.

They get to the castle, and run into Stiff-Staff (Randy Spears) who brings them into the castle to meet with Frank N' Beans. We also meet Vagina, the Magenta parody played to great effect by Nikki Tyler, and Euphoria, who is the perky stand-in for Columbia played by Alektra Blue. Frank is, of course, making porn (creating a delicious meta commentary on the industry) and has created the Perfect Porn Star in Rocki, played by the tall, tan, slim Puma Swede... but who will be the star, Rocki, or the excited new talent Janet..?

Director Brad Armstrong is Freddy, and you can tell this whole project, his first porn parody, must be a passion project for him. He sews some of the costumes! There's the addition of two twin-like women, Mona and Lisa, who are Frank's assistants (because porn needs women!) but Armstrong manages to do homage to RHPS while gently poking fun (I love some of the audience responses that are incorporated) and also poking fun at porn tropes generally. And yes, it's still a musical! There's a lot of fun to be had here, so I don't want to describe each scene, but here's the pairings:

Sex scenes:

Massive 18 minute orgy

There's a few things I wanted to point out specifically that made Rocki Whore excellent for me though-

1) Condoms are used throughout, and it's not apologized for or awkward. Yes, it's the magic condom that goes on without any footage of that, but seeing the porn stars remove them and cum onto chests and thighs was pretty hot and nicely seamless.

2) Negotiation happens during sex! This was super exciting to see. Janet asks Brad to cum on her thigh "so I can see it" which is super hot, and there's negotiation between Euphoria and Vagina during their scene too. Little bits here and there- "do you like when I do this?", that sort of thing, really made the negotiating hotter for me and showed examples of how one can add asking for consent to their dirty talk.

3) Frank is AWESOME. He's in drag for his sex scenes, which is really fucking cool, and, what really surprised me? HE FLIRTS WITH BRAD. In fact, they hint that if they weren't interrupted by Stiff-Staff, they would totally have gotten it on too. THANK YOU WICKED! That was totally unexpected and warmed my heart. It was really awesome to see some boy-on-boy queerness, even hinted, in a "straight" porn.

4) Self-Awareness FTW! I loved the little hidden shoutout to PWL, the casting of Puma as "the perfect porn star" with her big fake breasts, tan skin, and incredibly slim body, while casting lots of different types in the rest of the film, some of the one-liners which were just fantastic. I loved that Rocki preferred to direct porn, not act in it. It really worked with the porn-within-a-porn concept and made it intellectually interesting.

5) I loved how silly it was. I mean, the humour was fabulous. From the little nods to the live Rocky audience participation to the jokes, from the fact everyone stays in character during sex to the playfulness of the whole thing, this made me smile. I loved that Mona and Lisa gave Brad a makeover (into what looked like floor show makeup but clownier) before fucking him silly. The menu before you start watching is hilarious- I actually watched the whole thing. It all made me giggle, and I really like that in porn. They looked like they were having fun, and they looked like they were having sex they enjoyed!

6) Imperfection was present. That's really hot to me. Cellulite was on screen- awesome! A toy slipped out, and that was left in- great! A man in a wheelchair gets a blowjob- hot! I like it when there's some impression that this is sex, and things don't always go according to plan, not everyone's got the smooth body, not everyone is able-bodied. It doesn't alienate me.

There's a whole disc of special features, from a special on the costumes to auditions to bloopers to a "making of". There's lots of extra bits, which is great, and they're great fun to watch too! And I also love that they gave a shoutout to their local Rocky cast. <3

So yeah. If you get a chance, whether you like RHPS or not, check out Rocki Whore Picture Show. It's well worth it and it's a great porn, as well as being a fun movie.

Thank you Good Vibes for the chance to review it in exchange for a fair review!
