And we are fast approaching AVN time, so I am glad I am watching this one ahead of time, as I am sure it is going to get some nominations. This is yet another big release from Wicked Pictures with Seth Gamble both behind the camera directing, and a co-writer, as well as in front of the camera, playing the bad guy. I would assume that Isiah and Anna are getting lead acting nominations. And for the spotlight scene of this one, I am going with the three way with Anna, Maddy and Isiah, even with the little flub of the mic in the frame, and as an added bonus I would watch the Anna and Maddy match up before that.

When a video of himself putting a handful of rich "influencers" in their place for mistreating their help (Anna Claire Clouds) goes viral, Isiah Maxwell''s simple life as a goodhearted motorcycle mechanic is flipped upside down. Indeed, almost immediately, he encounters various parasites and hangers-on, and good relationships in his life risk drying up. First and foremost among the users is an "agent", Codey Steele, intent on signing Isiah to a deal to satisfy his own debts with a local strip club owner and criminal boss, Seth Gamble. Of course, a sordid affair rife with steamy sex and subterfuge ensues, as Maxwell struggles to maintain his integrity (and more!) in a sea of low-life sharks, fast women, and easy money. Can anything good come of the situation? So goes "Clout", an exceptional feature/series from director Seth Gamble and Wicked Pictures. [This review covers Part One (of two), which includes the first four episodes.]
