Mike Roberts: The Making Of a Porn Star Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  12/10/2005

Those of us who were fortunate enough to pick up the September issue of Freshman Magazine were blown away by the pictorial spread of the cover man Mike Roberts. He was positively godlike. Young, beautiful, muscular, hung, and uncut. How could he be human? This is how he looks in Matt Sterling’s A MATTER OF SIZE 2. But before he got the makeover he appeared in a number of Body Shoppe films as “Angel”. I remember seeing him listed as such in the Adam Gay Directory for 2005 and thinking, “why isn’t he in any of the films I have?” Of course he was just the rough cut of what he is now, but he was handsome; he was built; he was hung.

Now that Mike has emerged as someone with superstar potential, Body Shoppe has released a compilation of his films for them and have entitled it MIKE ROBERTS: THE MAKING OF A PORN STAR. The title on the DVD itself says “porno star”. (Yuck.)

We begin with an outdoor scene (probably his first) where he is paired with Auzzie (Aussie in the Adam Gay Directory). Aussie chews gum. He’s cute and has a nice dick. In later scenes Angel/Mike has a small goatee. Here he is smooth shaven. Even though he does not look godlike yet, he’s still quite an eyeful. The chest is beautifully developed. Indeed from head to toe, he’s something. (In later scenes we see his feet so we can say the kid is flawless.) What I thought when watching this was that it really is rather silly to stand around outdoors with your pants around your ankles while an old queen natters on and some one snaps pictures. Jack off fodder it is not. Finally these two sit on a rock and play with themselves. Eventually they get Auzzie to hold Angel-Mike’s cock and he then pretends to suck it so they can snap pictures. (He doesn’t suck it at all he just holds his hand around the cock head and pretends to. If I had that chance, boy!)

In the second and the following scenes Angel/Mike has his goatee and a light sprinkling of chest hair. He’s with two other young guys one of whom is kneeling and begins to suck on Angel/Mike’s dick. It doesn’t rise to the attention. Angel/Mike’s chest and legs are pink from sunburn. His midriff is chalky white. Pictures snap. He does body builder poses and giggles. He has a high-pitched giggle like a girl. The boys now lie down on a blanket and look at girlie magazines, stroking their dicks. “I’m about to cum,” AM announces and goes to stand before the full-length mirror to jack his load onto the glass as is the monotonous tradition in these films. It’s an awesome load! He’s then told to sit back down and wait for the others to cum. “I’ll be sitting here waiting forever on these guys,” he jokes. (Interestingly in every scene Angel/Mike is the first to cum.)

The third excerpt begins with Skylar (a cute young thing and the heretofore star of the studio) squatting on a round mirror to show his anus. (This is another of Body Shoppe’s traditions.) AM squats too. Then we find them standing side by side bouncing up and on the bed. Uncle Don puts Skylar’s hand on AM’s prick. Skylar goes from just holding it to frigging it. Skylar is urged to suck it. “It’s ugly!” he protests. (Straight guys are so silly!) He does put it in his mouth for a nanosecond but then reacts as though he’s just had a cockroach instead of a cock in his mouth. Angel/Mike jacks off onto the mirror. We wait for Skylar.

Next we begin with a low-angle close-up of Angel/Mike pulling on his penis. He’s wearing a stupid hat. In the background we hear the film on the TV. A squealing woman is in the throws of faked ecstasy. A fairly homely guy arrives—Luis. He is chewing gum. He’s given the prime position on the right. Later—when they realize their mistake—the position is given to AM until it’s “mirror time”.

This time we find Angel/Mike in a cowboy hat (see picture on the cover). Sitting on the mirror we get an extreme close-up of his wrinkled hirsute anus. Another “cowboy’ is in the scene with him. Body Shoppe’s resident cocksucker, a pudgy guy wearing a ski mask and gardening gloves enters to suck the other cowboy’s cock. The lucky bastard then has the joy of eating Angel/Mike. He’s such a piss-poor cocksucker that I’m not in the least surprised it has no effect on AM. The poor boy stands stoically, staring straight ahead. (I felt so sorry for him demeaning himself in this way.) The guys jack off to cum on—yep; you guessed it—the mirror.

Six starts with AM and two others showing their backsides. These other two are Cain and Pee Wee. Cain has a very very big uncut cock. Pee Wee is cute but in some of the films I’ve seen Pee Wee has been a bit of a pain. He’s OK here. They put a penis pump on AM but it doesn’t do anything. They then all put on condoms to fuck an artificial “pussy”. Cain has a go. The others forgo this dubious pleasure. Condoms are peeled off and Cain sucks Angel/Mike’s cock. It’s the first decent blowjob the kid has had but he still doesn’t get a stiffy. Cain gives Pee Wee a little head, too. As always and forever, AM is the first to shoot his load on the mirror. The others gasp in astonishment at the quantity of juice this boy produces.

The seventh and final takes place in a gym. Cory—a cute young’un—is on a exercise machine. Angel/Mike and Skylar are watching and playing pocket pool in their jocks. All head over to chin themselves. AM shows a bit of gymnastic skill. That over, they open up their girlie mags and reach into their jocks. They lose their jocks, jiggle their joints, and cum on—the mirror.

Not a pud-pounder by any means. Fans of the studio (and there are many) and fans of Mike Roberts (and there soon will be many) may want this. For others it might be well simply to see this idol in all his glory and avoid seeing the idol with feet of clay.
