I admit to having a soft spot in my heart (and a hard spot in my pants) for Hot House. A fan since the beginning, I was eager to see what director Steven Scarborough would do with his own studio after years spent at Falcon, topping himself over and over again, with arguably the best run of any longtime director there. Hot House was created with a clean bold look. Colors are vibrant, sex is electric and a special focus is given to the models, rather than the considerable trappings. There have been a zillion porn movies set by the pool, but to me, the "Trunks" series is the apex of them. The transition from Scarborough to Christian Owen as the studio's director was utterly seamless, as if Owen had been planning what his scenes would look like for a long time. The colors got bolder, the situations took on an added elegance that never disrupted good sex, but the focus was still squarely on the models. Scarborough was a master, arguably one of the best, when it came to plot porn, and if that style was on the decline by the time Owen took over, Owen found unique ways to make his scenes vivid without dialogue, a Herculean task of its own (fans will know the indoor rain scene, deserving of a spot on many an all-time best list). Yet at no point did the central feel of Hot House ever disappear, the crispness, the refinement, the feeling that the scenes were artfully considered and cast in a way that showed colossal creativity and forethought. For its 20th Anniversary in 2013, Hot House has taken 10 of its best scenes to show off its singular place way up high in the gay porn pantheon.
We start in 2006 with a scene from "Justice," under the direction of Steven Scarborough. Shane Rollins is framed for a crime and taken in by massive policemen Tony Mecelli and Robert Van Damme. This type of scene typically only takes one massive cock, but why not use two? The scene is far more vivid due to moments like the beginning, when Robert literally pulls Shane's mouth open so Tony can bury his cock inside Shane's mouth. Naturally, it doesn't take Shane long to agreeably do them both, having a great time blowing both. Robert sucks too, more animated than usual, but Shane is the powerhouse oralist in this scene. Robert puts on gloves so he can finger and rim Shane, rimming being a Hot House specialty from the onset. Robert powerfucks Shane while Shane keeps busy with Tony in his mouth and then Tony fucks Shane. Shane rides Tony until cumming and then the tops finish.
Easily one of my favorite Hot House movies is "Descent," and the scene between Aiden Shaw and Marcus Iron probably ranks high on my list of all-time best. Aiden Shaw's looks, abilities and energy were hypnotic, one of the best performers gay porn has had the luck to employ. Marcus Iron may not rank as high with fans, something at least partially rectified here. This pairing is an explosive dream. Scarborough's 1997 "Descent" is a completely unique piece, one I urge you to watch. This ethereal scene is the highlight. Marcus, which those pleading eyes now and then looking up, gives Aiden's truly beautiful cock a wet perfect blowjob, a deep-throat that seems to impress Aiden quite a bit. A very passionate make-out section follows and just when you think Aiden is about to launch his dick into Marcus, he instead face-fucks him, with Marcus still awesome. Aiden does eventually fuck Marcus, and it's sensational on every level, but the chemistry here is what drives the work. Marcus has a naturally timid look, but it was just a look. His ass told a different story, and luckily Aiden figures that out quickly, nailing him powerfully while the two barely break gaze. After riding Aiden, Marcus shoots on Aiden's stomach, followed there by Aiden.
The third scene is from "Locker Room" (2008) directed by Robert Drake. This is a baseball locker room, as evidenced by the bats. Of the metal kind, at first, but soon goateed Ethan Wolfe is swallowing Kyle King's cock. Kyle is impossibly young here, an interesting look for those of you who may not have seen him in his earliest years. Red-headed sprite Blu Kennedy arrives and is forced to suck Kyle. He works his mouth as hard as he can, especially on Ethan. Kyle gives Blu a dreamy rimming while Ethan blows Blu at the same time. Most interesting about this scene is that all three flip-flop. That's rare in any threeway, porn or otherwise, and a special coup here. They keep on their socks and cleats, the kind easygoing sports theme that survives to this day at Hot House, though in some interesting altered forms. Kyle's cum-shot at the end is worth waiting for.
"Skuff 3" from 2005 was part of a very lavish Steven Scarborough series, as dark as something like "Locker Room" was light. Now we're in the basement with a leather fetish. Jason Ridge, in a clingy neoprene suit, is sucking the cock of a man wearing a gas mask while another man wearing a gas mask looks on. The two in the masks are Collin O'Neal and Christoph Scharff, two hunks who should never be masked. Jason blows them both with abandon. Even in a leather setting, the talents of the performers are most important. Jason Ridge's ass is a beaut, so whether it's getting rimmed or fucked, all is right. The moments where Collin is licking it and Christoph is sucking Jason's dick inches apart are full of lust and excitement. A man-in-the-middle with Christoph fucking Jason and getting it from Collin sizzles.
After these four earlier titles, it's time for "Heatstroke" from Christian Owen, released amid the 20th Anniversary celebrating in 2013. Fan favorites Connor Kline and Trenton Ducati get things started in the pool. Trenton doesn't let Connor get fully out of the pool before making a meal of Connor's ass with his tongue, fingers and even the pool water. The blowjob he gives is no less exciting, delivered with Trenton's signature workaholic style and excitement. Connor, who can be a less aggressive performer, gives Trenton's giant cock a spectacular workout. With blazing sunlight and bright greenery behind them, the guys fuck on the side of the pool, Connor riding Trenton, though Trenton spends plenty of time fucking upwards into him. After Trenton cums on Connor's back and licks it up, he nibbles on Connor's thighs until he shoots too.
We're back at the pool for the next scene, from Scarborough's "Trunks 2" (2005). This one has brunet muscular Matt Cole and golden boy Brad Patton who, for my tastes, didn't have a long enough career. Head-to-toe perfection, he also had one of the biggest cocks gay porn ever unleashed on us, every bit as flawless as its owner. Matt does as well as he can with it orally. Brad takes some time to lick Matt's ass, but there really is no prep for stuffing his dick inside the hole. The bleats from Matt are the same heard from every performer who had the pleasure: after a return to breathing, an amazement at its size and then a pride in being able to handle it. A startlingly blue sky is the backdrop for the oiled guys as Brad opens his bottom further than I suspect either expected.
A scene from "Score!" (2011) is also Scarborough's, even though it has more of Owen's look and style (with the digital age, the candy colored sets and costumes -- even in a leather scene -- are even more of a pull for the viewer). Kyle King is back, again in a baseball setting, but six years later, he's double the size. His partner here is heavily-tattooed Bo Dean. Kyle spends lots of time worshipping Bo's body before settling on his dick. A definite highlight is a 69, though Bo is way out of his league against Kyle. Both keep their cleats and socks and leg guards on, natch. With Kyle on top, he just flips his body around and suddenly he's riding Bo with all his might. He is even the MVP when being fucked from behind, pushing back far more than Bo is pushing forward.
"Paging Dr. Finger" (2008), another from Scarborough, is proof that Hot House is the master of doctor porn. An old stand-by that most other companies left behind with the plumber, Hot House gets great mileage from it, particularly in its comic set-ups. In this scene, Francesco D'Macho comes into the ER with "that GHB" as Dr. Ross Hurston diagnosis it, Nurse Johnny Gunn there to hear the diagnosis. Ross swears Francesco is mumbling "fuck me," Johnny notices Francesco is hard, so they decided to "teach him a lesson." Don't do GHB or don't go to a hospital with a horny gay staff? What's so wrong about the second? Ross keeps giving him more anesthetic, though when the mask isn't on Francesco's face, Ross is. He and Johnny share the sucking duties. Eventually, Francesco is very much a part of the scene, though it's Ross, who shares good looks and energy levels with the legendary Dean Monroe, who is the true oxygen of the scene. Both Johnny and Ross are fucked by supertop Francesco, but the ending comes with Ross hammering Francesco so all three can cum on Francesco's body.
Of the many Hot House movies I have reviewed, Christian Owen's "Sektor 9" is among my favorites. At a time when I was losing the plot porn I had always adored so much, here came a way to present it without lots of dialogue. These weird and wonderful tale is all in the details, a barnyard of surprises. The scene here, set in what looks to be a cross between a dungeon and a Fun House (which aren't mutually exclusive, I suppose) finds Marc Dylan hanging from a wall when alpha daddy Spencer Reed comes by (you can spot the Hot House signature red all over the place, without having to look away from the performers). Marc's every-waiting bubbly ass gets a hearty licking from Spencer, but Spencer soon wants the attention focused on him, so releases Marc to suck his cock. Marc is placed on a round leather table to get fucked and this pairing a limit-free bottom and a take-no-prisoner's top has all you would expect. Spencer licks his cum off Marc at the end.
There is something very bittersweet watching the final scene, from the 2007 Scarborough-directed "Communion" as not only has Josh Weston died, but so has Kent North, a Hot House exclusive who is impossible to forget. He did it all, with a specialty in fisting, and if he seemed genuinely insane during his sex scenes, it was just a manifestation of his lust that was blissfully watchable. Goateed Alex Collack is the third player in this leather scene (no need for plot details). It starts with Alex getting blown by Josh and Kent, both trying to outdo each other when they are not sharing. Kent spends a lot of time poking around Josh's ass, so when he finally rims it, he takes full advantage. Josh still has Alex's cock in his mouth when Kent fucks him, but not always. There are too many times he's howling and raging at the big boy he-man fuck Kent delivers. If you want to see what the muscle boys do to each other, there are few better examples than this scene. After Josh is fucked by both of his costars, Kent gets in a sling. He's a hellcat of a top, but even more ferocious as a bottom. Alex, a bit sidelined by virtue of being the quietest guy in the scene, fucks the hell out of Kent and then Josh gets his turn. There's a whole lot of dildo play for Kent and Josh before Josh plays cumrag. Stay tuned for a bonus cut of the scene after it ends.
Happy Birthday, Hot House!
I can't wait until your 40th Anniversary!
