The Money Shot, about the day to day operations of the Blue Movie Guide (BMG), drew close parallels to Paul Fishbein and Mark Kernes. It starred Bryn Pryor, who just picked up a Best Actor in a Non-Sex Role at this year's AVN Awards for Corruption. He is also known as Eli Cross, who won the Best Director Award for that movie. The Money Shot features cameos from Asia Carrera, Chloe, and Nicki Fritz. Above everything else, it is an excellent picture of Porn Valley in the early part of this century.
Layout was directed by Paul Thomas and stars Brianna Banks, Penny Flame, and Kylie Ireland, as well as Tom Byron and Tyce Bune. Vivid's PR says that "any resemblance to AVN is purely intentional."
Will AVN now get a Showtime series, too?
