The Film
In the latest volume in the PEEPSHOW COLLECTION of 8mm stag loops we get all the sexiness the 70s and 80s could offer up (again!). A woman pays her cab fare with her body, bringing up the cabby to suck and fuck while in another short a woman wakes up her man, who seems to be recovering from some sort of broken arm, with some oral before he gets going and doesn't let his arm stop him from doing anything and everything to his woman. There's a photographer that uses his camera to land two women at the same time, a down and dirty job interview and more!

Taking you back to the sleazy days of the 70s and 80s where you'd find people milling around porn theaters and porn stores in any downtown buying their magazines or pumping quarters into the booths to view reels such as these, this collection gives great insight into the early days of porno video distribution and how even in the early movie making days it was all about who could be the hottest
and the nastiest!


The Audio & Video
Another nice presentation from Impulse Pictures as they've saved these shorts from obscurity and preserved them on DVD. The full frame transfers preserve their original aspect ratio and for the most part look good. There's scratches and speckling of dirt and dust but colors are largely strong and the image is pretty sharp for 8mm film. There's a few moments of harsher wear but I'm very pleased with how these loops look. As always, these loops are silent aside from the projector noise.


The Extras
Liner notes from Robin Bougie of Cinema Sewer magazine are included


The Bottom Line
This DVD collection of 15 loops gives you a much cleaner and safer way of viewing the classic XXX footage without needing a pocket full of quarters (or something to sanitize with after!). You know you want it.
