Reviews on the Blog!!!

Blog people (i.e people who follow the blog):

Per Paulie's polite suggestion, I am getting my ass in gear and posting reviews of movies that I've wanted to review, but never got around to on the PornCast. Even though I do more than 100 video reviews a year, the world of gay porn out supplies my podcast production. Hopefully, this will be another resource for our listeners (all two of you that can't get enough of my reviews).

However, first a couple words about blog reviews versus PornCast reviews. On the 'cast, I spend a lot of time going through each scene, and I'm too lazy to do that on the blog. Thus, the blog reviews will be a lot more concise and will deal with the videos in broader brush strokes. I'll tell you what I liked and what I didn't like. I will highlight scenes that I think are especially good.

Also (and also too), I won't be using the famous "splats" ("rock hard," "boner," etc.) on the blog reviews because the splats wouldn't have the needed context. For example, I might give something three splats (***) on the Porncast review, but I have more time to explain that maybe for a twink lover, it should be considered to have higher rating, or that bear lovers should stay away.

Last, but not least, the blog reviews will give you a chance in the comments to tell me what you think. On the PornCast, you'd have to write an email, wait for it to escape the accretion disk (look it up) of the black hole that is our mailbag, and have us read it on the air. With the blog, you are able to tell my my review is full of shit (or how wonderful it is) and why.

Questions, complaints, complements? Leave in the comments.
Stay Hard, Evan

Sounds great, Evan and as one of the blog people, I'm looking forward to it. You never really give anything a bad review on the podcast. Maybe here you'll get to some of the Lurid Diggs of porn i.e. "Stay away from this one!"

One question. If we're "blog people" are the iPod listeners "pod people" a la Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

Of course, there's a reason I rarely give out bad reviews on the PornCast. The main reason is that GayCheapPorn has asked me to review things that I like, as opposed to things I don't like. They don't have any effect on my reviews, but I understand that since they're in the business of selling videos, badly reviewed videos may not sell as well.
The one big exception is a video they specifically ask me to review, and I give my unvarnished review.
Thanks for the feedback.
