There's no director credited, but a tape this good doesn't happen accidentally—so one must suspect the careful guidance of series creator Henri Pachard, as well as astute camera work that captures, for instance, the interplay between Crystal Gold and T.T. Boy. It's very reminiscent of the type of gritty interaction we sometimes see backstage on sets, and it's just another reason why Venom deserves an easy pre-nom as Best Gonzo Series.

Gold's anal scene with Paul Cox after a mish with Boy is good, but most of what follows is better. Start with Mr. Marcus and Julian St. Jox doing the rump bump mish and doggie style with a very responsive Devon Shore, then Kelly O'Dell being incredibly turned on by Alex Sanders' missionary banging. (A bit too much actor-held camera footage in this scene, but Kelly's enjoyment is unmistakable.) The real clincher, and a worthy pre-nom for Best Group Scene, is the finale with Stephanie Swift, Sophia Ferrari and John Decker. Not only does Swift deliver an incredible orgasm while fingering herself (though Decker does add a digit or two), but she proves to be an able cameraperson while chronicling Decker's back-and-front fucking and rimming of Ferrari.

Somewhere in there, the two girls do a 69, and later, Decker delivers a double facial, but it's that sensation of being right there that pushes this scene, and this tape, over the top. Kudos to all concerned.
