Gay porn review site ReelGuys.org is introducing an online Web show, ReelGuys Reviews On Video, to compliment their text-based movie reviews.
ReelGuys Reviews On Video is co-hosted by ReelGuys Webmaster/creator and adult video director Mark Kliem and gay film star Lex Kyler.
"It’s the Siskel and Ebert of gay porn movies," Kliem said in a statement. "We review a couple of movies in each episode and show little video clips. We never say anything negative about the movies or the stars, but we’re always looking for ways to get a laugh. I like to think of it as a comedy show with porn reviews, rather than the other way around."
"I did a public access show in San Francisco for five years called Lavender Lounge, from 1991 to 1995," he told AVNOnline.com. "It was nicknamed 'The Queer American Bandstand,' with gay and lesbian kids dancing to DJ music in the public access TV studio. Lex was a regular on the show and that's how we met. When I directed my first porn video, it was also Lex's first appearance as porn performer."
Currently, there are two episodes posted on the site, with more on the way. Just cruise on in to the ReelGuys.org home page to find the blue console, which contains links to the two most recent episodes. Visitors can download the shows for free or they can join the LavenderLounge.com VIP Room to view the entire archive of ReelGuys shows. The episodes are streamed with QuickTime.
"In selecting movies for review, I try to cover various niches for variety, but I mostly like to pick best sellers from the top studios with famous porn stars," Kliem said. "Lex and I especially enjoy movies with plots because it gives us more opportunity to come up with goofy comedy bits."
ReelGuys Reviews On Video also offers a free plugin to Webmasters looking for content. Just visit LavenderLounge.biz to sign up for the revenue-sharing program, then click on the Free Content page. Copy and paste the code into your site, and the updates are done automatically.
"It’s a win-win situation for everyone," said Kliem. "Surfers get a fun show and come back each week to see a new episode, Webmasters get repeat visitors and earn money on the upsell, and studios get free publicity for their movies. My goal is to set up a whole network of sites that run the show. Once we set up a measurable audience, we can start selling commercials."
