It remains a question of who is scarier in this feature, Sharon Jones, a dyke with a hairdo like a cartoon character, or Jamie Gillis. Any relation between Jamie and Dobie is quickly dispelled in the closeup opening sequence which peers into Gillis' bearded face — a face that belongs in a Quentin Tarantino movie.

Gillis interviews Jones who proudly calls herself a freak of nature Okay, so Tod Browing missed her when he was casting his movie about the chicken woman.

Gillis cracks the belt at wincing octaves and lays some demonstrable welts upon Jones' grungy ass, carrying on a blithe conversation at the same time, may I add. He then guides Jones blissfully through a laundry list of human indignities, using her as a human ottoman.

Gillis dispenses with Jones like a game show host running out of time and brings side line observer Tawny on for some dense probing of her psyche. Tawny relates her experiences as a child, and Gillis initiates some psycho-drama, re-creating a spanking venue. He strokes and manipulates her ass, studying its size and circumference much in the way an infield crew tamps a pitcher's mound. Gillis then graduates Tawny from free-hand to leather belt appliqué.

Tom Byron comes on at the end putting in his two cents. He refers to Gillis' scenes as "namby-pamby." Byron, on the other hand, calls himself a traditionalist. So did Ricardo Montalban in the old Cordoba commercials. Stacie Somers, a sexy redhead who's dressed fashionably for the occasion in summer dress and red "fuck me" pumps, places herself over Byron's knee and Tom goes to work on her panty-covered ass like a bongo player in the Ricky Ricardo orchestra. Is this what being a "traditionalist" is all about, Tom? Let's see some ass, man, Ba Ba Loo.

More Punished Cheeks takes a darker tone than your average spanking vid. Be sure to keep the differentiation in mind when making referrals to your customers.
