If there is a world in which a good starting point is sufficient to give life to a wonderful production then it is in the format of a web series, wherein the very short duration of episodes, the need for swift and inventive scenes and the relatively low expectations of the public help to foment a production focused more on individual scenes than the pursuit of the through-line. Such is the case in Blue Movies, the most intelligent, breathtaking and interesting web series in recent times that begins with the error of the protagonist, who is persuaded to go for an internship at Paramount, not realizing that he has agreed to work for Pornamount, the name summing up the nature of its productions.

From the beginning Blue Movies proves adept at carrying a strong theme (the ironic intepretation of the world of pornograhic films) and a clarity of purpose ( such as the pulling out of literally a thousand hilarious pornographic parodies, the trailers a handful available for seperate viewing). In doing so, the series creators have managed to go above and beyond all expectations, the first episode launching the show as a whole into orbit ( with the lead-in to the episodes a hilarious pornographic versions of movies such as The Godfather, Forrest Hump or The Dark Knight). The series uses the microcosm of peeling back the layers of the production of pornography as a means to address the world of cinema more extensively and vividly than any other series online at the moment.

Additionally there is also the fact that the series deals with the issues of sex (although you don’t actually see any nudity) through the medium of the internet, a place where porn is the focus of much of the traffic and interest.
If Blue Movies lacks the courage of Young American Bodies, it has the intelligence and desire to investigate and contend with the porn industry’s underlying flippant nature (for instance by showing the director and head of the studio as the most clueless character at times), launching a cinematic broadside at the quintessential ‘classic’ porn titles (films such as Godfucker, Men in Black Men, Forrest Hump etc) and by drawing attention to the legions of invisible workers carrying out the thankless tasks required in the business (its is not by chance that the protagonist is in this last category).

The latter episodes arrive with a uncharacteristic strength for a web based series, primarily to examine from the ground floor the figures who are usually marginalized, outsiders, the small fish and the losers. Tom of Blue Movies is the classic example of the American Hero labeled by society as a loser, he himself having only a minor interest in the myth of success. Hollywood has recently been discovering these types of characters (such as in the films of Wes Anderson and Jason Reitman) in preference over the steotypical archetypes of so called ‘winners’.

The Series currently consists of 5 episodes, all written and shot extremely well and distributed by the Koldcast platform, and as more time passes the more this show will be lauded as one of the most solid and reliable for its calibre of production on the Internet.

We did a special “PSA” with a great web series called The Fall of Kaden to promote our show for the Streamy Awards. It stars some of the team over at Kaden, but also Sascha Alexander, and our own director Scott Brown. On top of all that, the incredibly talented Shira Lazar helped us out by hosting the video.

We were reviewed by German Web Magazine TVDIGITAL.de and here is a translation courtesy of Sayed’s bodyguard, Matt Weight

A series with youth-friendly pictures and extremely witty dialogue involving the human side of the Porn industry. However, the trick of the films is not the portrayal of banal sexuality, but with the artistically challenging task of expressing genuine intimacy – that is, at least within the confines of the studios of ‘Pornomount Pictures’. With their pornographic depictions of great cinematic pictures they strive to become the number one studio in the entire adult industry.

From the very beginning of the opening episode ‘The First Time’ the satirical element which the writers and producers have created are apparent; The Joker from ‘The Dark Knight’ has his grand entrance. Only this time it the porn ‘The Dark Night: Full of Hot Freakin’ Orgies’ in which the scene where the Joker shoves a pencil through a man’s head is reenacted. The end result, however, is quite different; the Joker slams an enormous purple dildo on the table, which one hopes he knows how to operate better than that.

The director, Max Chapman, is generally pleased with the scene, he still however has some problems with the performance of his leading actor. “The question is, what does the Joker want in this moment?” – “he wants to have sex with the sharp blond girl”, that is the wrong answer. The director screams “He wants to kiss and cuddle/ intimacy (I’m serious) “at the joker.

In such a manner the erotic fun of the web series is pulled forward, without naked bodies and without sex. Yet, can a man who is used to watching actual porn be satisfied with superb acting achievements, innovative cinematography and intelligent dialogue? Sure! It is exactly because of these things that one looks at the porno’s, in the same manner that director Max Chapman does. And that is the reason this web series is so delightful to behold. Irregular/irreverent , new eight minute chapters appear in English. Three episodes have already been presented.
