Jim Holliday and Jill Kelly introduce clips of the "Top 25" (actually, 26) adult stars of all time, and depending on which option you choose, you can either watch the scenes as they originally appeared, or you can have the film's/video's soundtrack in the background, with Jim and Jill making comments on the action as it progresses, throwing in tidbits of history and trivia as the occasion arises.

This, of course, is a terrific idea, but the implementation takes a few minutes to get up to steam. It would have been nice if J&J had rehearsed their lines a bit more before setting them to tape (the "she just returned from a dance gig and only had two hours sleep" excuse really isn't acceptable), but it won't be long before viewers are sucked into the action and fascinated by the words. As might be expected, Holliday does the majority of the talking — after all, he is The Historian in the crowd. On the other hand, Kelly asks some incisive questions, and reveals a bit of her own psyche in the process; a real plus for Kelly fans.

Along the way, you'll see scenes with Marilyn Chambers and John Holmes (Insatiable), Ginger Lynn and Tom Byron (New Wave Hookers), Seka (in a Swedish Erotica loop with Holmes and Jamie Gillis), Annette Haven and Constance Money (Anna Obsessed), Georgina Spelvin (Devil in Miss Jones II), Lesllie Bovee and John Leslie (Femmes de Sade), the ubiquitous Ron Jeremy and plenty more, though the brevity of some of the clips accounts for a slightly decreased "Content" rating. It's likely viewers will listen to the J&J dialogue more than once, mining it for its wealth of info; but they'll be watching some of the scenes for years to come.

This disc is certainly going on our list of pre-nominees for the 2000 Awards — and in our permanent collection.
