I would be remiss in the golden age of spoof and parody in porn not to review the big winner at this year’s AVN Awards for Best Parody. This year’s distinction went to Sam Hein’s The Sex Files. One of the things that sets this movie apart from the rest of the parody pack is the fact it isn’t based on the usual sitcom theme most movies recreate. While not taking anything away from the fun, funny, campiness and ease of drawing laughs of lampooning a comedy, attempting to spoof a science fiction television series with a diehard cult following is no easy task. Yet Digital Sin decided to give it a try, with apparently successful results. Is it possible to put together a well crafted smut film that appeals to both fans of the show and those who may not be too familiar with the original? And here’s my disclosure: While I am a huge fan of porn, I was not a huge fan of the X-Files. I did watch it a bunch. It wasn’t as if I disliked it. But I wasn’t a card carrying fan of the show. I think it’s important to note so you know where I am coming from and to see if The Sex Files still holds up.

Throat: A Cautionary Tale
Studio: Vivid
Director: Paul Thomas
Starring: Aliana Love, Allie Foster, Beverly Hills, Brynn Tyler , Carmen McCarthy, Emilianna, Evan Stone, Herschel Savage, Jarod Diamond, Jerry, Jordan Lane, Kelly Wells, Lee Stone, Marco Banderas, Megan Monroe, Penny Flame, Pike Nelson, Ricki Raxxx, Rocco Reed, Sasha Grey, Tom Byron, Trent Tesoro, Voodoo, Jasper Knight (non-sex), Darth Franklin (non-sex), Marco Leon (non-sex), Shylar Cobi (non-sex)

By now, the story of Throat: A Cautionary Tale has been well documented. Not only online, but on Showtime’s seven part original series Deeper Throat, documenting the process of making this film. And the making of this film has almost as much plot twists and turns as the movie itself, between picking the right girl to fill Linda Lovelace’s shoes (or throat) to the legal battles with the owner of the rights to the original, Ray Pistol of Arrow Productions. When Pistol withdrew his permission to use the title in the remake when he didn’t like the direction director Paul Thomas was going, it set off a courtroom battle between Ra and Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid, the studio making the 2009 version. What started out as a remake of the classic Deep Throat morphed into a story of its own, loosely based on and with a few nods to its muse.

Mix an all-star cast, a renowned director, a remake of the classic, throw in some controversy and television series documenting the entire process and the result is a film that leads the 2010 AVN Award nominations with 12 nominations this year. From Best Actress, Best Director, Best Oral Scene, Best Video Feature and everything in between.
