Review brief: Let My Puppets Come is a real oddity in the world of adult film being the first, and only, adult puppet musical movie. The film is an adult puppet show that lampoons the adult film industry, with well-made puppets, extensive musical numbers, and a good heaping of low-brow humor. Let My Puppets Come isn't going to be for everyone in fact, the viewers that will genuinely enjoy the film will be in the minority. For the right viewer, though, Let My Puppets Come is a fun film. Vinegar Syndrome has done an excellent job with their Blu-ray and DVD combo pack with excellent picture and sound quality.

Review brief: A Climax of Blue Power is an interesting roughie. A Climax of Blue Power was initially made as the softcore roughie The Impersonator by Lee Frost and then was converted, with inserts, into the hardcore roughie A Climax of Blue Power. Some of the inserts were well done and others, not so well done. As an exploitation film, despite being quickly made, A Climax of Blue Power works well. As a hardcore film, A Climax of Blue Power works poorly, and the inserts add nothing to the film at all. Vinegar Syndrome has done a nice job with their Blu-ray and DVD combo pack of A Climax of Blue Power with good sound and picture quality.

Review brief: The concept and story idea behind the gay hardcore feature film Mens Room are good ones. However, the film is likely to be best enjoyed by gay viewers because the concept is stretched out too long and the time is filled with large amounts of sex scenes with little story portions here and there. The streaming-only edition from Vinegar Syndrome on Exploitation.TV has problematic video quality but good audio quality.

Directed by: Prestho
Review brief: People Trap is an adult short film from a pseudonymous director going by the moniker Prestho. People Trap is one of the entries from Sutter Cinema's First International Erotic Film Festival, and the least enjoyable of the entries that this reviewer has seen thus far. The other entries from Sutter Cinema's First International Erotic Film Festival that this reviewer has seen all played with the adult film format and were likely made by film students. People Trap is a more standard all sex film with slightly more content than the 8mm loops that were being made at the time, and feels like a more established pornographer made it. Vinegar Syndrome's streaming-only edition on Exploitation.TV looks and sounds good.

Review brief: The Hit is a poorly done feature-style adult film from director Bob Kirk. If you are familiar with the work of Bob Kirk, you know exactly what to expect from this film. If you aren't the film is a flimsy story that holds up horribly shot sex scenes. The Hit is an easy film to skip. Vinegar Syndrome has done a decent job with their streaming-only release on Exploitation.TV with good video quality and decent audio quality.

Review brief: The Ordeal of Donald Hewitt is an interesting conceptual hardcore short film. The director Judy Sloane played around quite a bit, and the resulting final film is interesting to watch however, viewers won't find the film erotic. The Ordeal of Donald Hewitt in fun to watch in a historical aspect to see when new directors were playing around with what could be done in the hardcore format. Vinegar Syndrome has done a nice job with their streaming-only edition of The Ordeal of Donald Hewitt on Exploitation.TV with good video and audio quality.

Review brief: The Farmer's Daughter and her Punishment Pony is a dreadful film that will disappoint almost all who decide to view it. The film is a combination of three tedious adult film loops and an abysmal live stage show. The only good thing about the film is that it is short. Vinegar Syndrome has done a nice job with their streaming-only edition on Exploitation.TV with good audio and video quality.

Review brief: Playgirls of Munich is a fun comedic adult film that follows the continued adventures of buffoons Barney and Chuck as they once again tramp through Europe. Playgirls of Munich is a rare entity in the adult film world, a sequel that follows the original and keeps the same main characters. Playgirls of Munich is well worth watching and shouldn't be missed. Vinegar Syndrome has done an acceptable job with their steaming-only release of Playgirls of Munich on Exploitation.TV with good audio quality and acceptable video quality.

Review brief: Sexual Liberty Now! is a pseudo-documentary that uses the backdrop of President Lyndon Johnson's Commission on Obscenity and Pornography report as an educational stand to present pornography on the big screen at a time when pornography had to have educational value to avoid prosecution. As an actual documentary on the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography report, filmed pornography, and sexual practice in America Sexual Liberty Now! is an utter failure filled with a lot of suspect information. As entertainment, Sexual Liberty Now! makes for fun viewing. Intentionally, or not, Sexual Liberty Now! has amusingly absurd moments that allow the antiquated film a new life. Vinegar Syndrome has done a nice job with their streaming-only edition on Exploitation.TV with good video and audio quality.

Directed by: Mort Shore
Review brief: This edition doesn't contain the original version of The Love Witch but instead only includes the modified version of The Love Witch, which has cheaply produced courtroom segments that were created by Louis Peraino with Harry Reems. Honestly, The Love Witch is a mess with the original version of The Love Witch massacred by the new footage and inserted dialog (This isn't to say that The Love Witch was a good film before the alterations based on what is presented here it wasn't.). This film is an easy pass. Vinegar Syndrome has done a nice job with their streaming-only release on Exploitation.TV with good video and audio quality.

Review brief: Diamond Head, also known as Honolulu Hustle, is a horrific adult feature film that insults the intelligence and challenges the libido of anyone who watches the film. Many of the cast members look like they were cast at the local soup kitchen and the attempts at jokes will only appeal to the most vacuous of viewers. Diamond Head isn't recommended under any circumstances. Vinegar Syndrome has done a decent job with their streaming-only edition of Diamond Head on Exploitation.TV with decent audio and video quality.

Review brief: Dust Unto Dust is an early hardcore gay feature film from director Tom DeSimone. Dust Unto Dust is a straightforward film with only three cast members that tells a story of a made up Native American legend via a narrator. Even though Dust Unto Dust is so simple, as a whole, the film works well and should entertain viewers. Dust Unto Dust is well worth watching. Vinegar Syndrome has done an okay job with their streaming-only edition of Dust Unto Dust on Exploitation.TV with decent video but below average audio quality.

Review brief: Fuzz is a disappointing adult feature film that attempts to be a comedy but doesn't work that well. The film is hardcore however, most of the sexual footage ends up being softcore. The film has a solid cast, but the cast isn't given much to do at any point during the movie. Fuzz probably isn't worth your effort to watch. Vinegar Syndrome has done a decent job with their streaming-only edition of Fuzz on Exploitation.TV with decent audio and video quality.

Review brief: Despite a few moments of competency, Mob Job, an early feature adult film by Jack Molinas, is mostly a poorly edited confusing mess that isn't worth watching. The plot in the film plummets downhill quickly, and the sex scenes are jammed in where ever they could be, whether or not they fit with where they are stuck into the film or not. Mob Job isn't recommended. Vinegar Syndrome has done a poor job with their streaming-only release of Mob Job on Exploitation.TV with decent video quality but poor audio quality.

Review brief: The Runaway Sisters is a feature roughie adult film that isn't overly erotic however, the film is enjoyable to watch as an actual film. The story for The Runaway Sisters is well-done, and the cast does a great job with their roles. Anyone looking for just carnal pleasure will be profoundly disappointed with The Runaway Sisters however, anyone who likes adult films as adult films will find The Runaway Sisters to be a good film to watch.

Review brief: Thirteen Blue Doors, which appears to have been curated by Terry Sullivan, is a collection of nine previously released adult film loops with dubbed in sound.

Review brief: Hopefully, at some point, Vinegar Syndrome will release a DVD of their Leo Productions short adult films from the First International Erotic Film Festival since they seem to have several. It seems unlikely that they would ever be able to put back together the festival itself since Leo Productions was not able to secure distribution rights for any of the entries they didn't produce. However, even a release of all of the Leo Productions shorts would be nice, even though the short films are flawed, since the different directors were all trying to actually do something with their short films. Roses for Zingara is a flawed but interesting short film from director Preston Holmes that is a tale of unrequited love. Vinegar Syndrome has done a nice job with their streaming-only edition of Roses for Zingara on Exploitation.TV with good audio and video quality.

Review brief: White Slaver is a rather poor and obviously thrown together feature-style roughie from the early 1970s that seems to want to impress the viewer with the fact they had a boat than with well-done sex scenes or any sort of attempted plot.

Review brief: Vinegar Syndrome's double feature of Wakefield Poole's gay hardcore films Take One and Moving! is well worth picking up for fans of the genre. The two films are very different, Take One is a genre-defying adult film and Moving! is a loop carrier.

Review brief: 5 Films 5 Years Volume 1: Golden Age Erotica is an excellent limited edition Blu-ray collection of five classic adult films. The set contains Too Naughty to Say No, Hot and Saucy Pizza Girls, The Ribald Tales of Canterbury, Prisoner of Paradise, and Dixie Ray Hollywood Star. The films on the release span from 1978 to 1985 and, honestly, fans of golden age adult films should find several to their liking, even if not all of the films included are favorites. None of the films on this release have ever looked better on home video and 5 Films 5 Years Volume 1: Golden Age Erotica is definitely worth picking up before it is sold out.

Review brief: Vice Vs Vice sadly has no redeeming qualities as an adult film. It is just one of many cheaply churned out bad adult films that no one expected to live past the film reels all deteriorating. The acting is poor, the sex is badly captured, and the story seems to have been an afterthought. There are many adult films worth watching, however, Vice Vs Vice isn't one of them.
