As the feature begins, we're introduced to Erica McLean, a hardworking, beleaguered pornographer who can't catch a break. Protesters harass her outside her office, proselytizing neighbors interrupt her masturbation time, and just as she's finally getting a chance to relax, she slips on some dog poop...and is magically whisked away to the "Hardcore Circus," "Wizard of Oz"-style.

Once inside the big top, the plot melts away (with all the hot sex going on, there wasn't any room for it). Short clips of sepia-toned circus action are interspersed with super hot freakshow sex (which we mean in the best possible way). Though all the performers put on a good show, we were especially won over by Audrey Hollander and Otto Bauer's lion taming act and Kimberly Kane and Evan Stone's, um, sex scene (we weren't totally sure what circus feat they were performing).

In what's easily the most intense scene in the film, Audrey and Otto pull out all the stops. Not only is the lion tamer/lioness act wellplayed, but we have to give extra points to Audrey for taking a whip handle in her pussy, a cock in her ass, and a riding crop slapping against her skin. (I want to go to there. No, seriously: I want to go to there.) Oh, and of course, double bonus points for Audrey then doing double anal with a cock and a whip handle. (I don't think I want to go to there, but I really, really like watching it.)

Kimberly and Evan likewise impress, with plenty of dirty talk, rough sex, and some wonderfully delicious anal sex. We always love Kimberly's intensity, and it only ramps up when she's engaged in anal action. (And if "Content" really is her best anal scene ever, we have a lot to look forward to.)

Rounding out the feature are Madison Scott and Lee Stone, Aiden Starr and Rob Rotten, Lavish Styles and Tommy Gunn, Kendra Banx and Starri Knight (the feature's sole lesbian couple, who also are the only ones to fuck out doors), Ron Jeremy and Lilly Lovely, and a very, very brief scene of Blue Iris and Tere Joyce having their way with a few men—including a dwarf.

Alas, even the hardcore circus can't stay in town for forever, and Erica McLean's eventually returned to reality, where she wakes up in bed surrounded by quite a few cast members ("...and you were there, and you were there, and you were there"). Luckily, we have the ability to return to the hardcore circus anytime we want—all we have to do is press play. We have a feeling we'll be making regular visits this summer.

Previously: Erica McLean's "Hardcore Circus" Is A True Masterpiece

Aiden Starr, Audrey Hollander, (the recently passed) Blue Iris (RIP), Tere Joyce, Kendra Banx, Starri Knight, Kimberly Kane, Lavish Styles, Lilly Lovely, Madison Scott, Ron Jeremy, Evan Stone, Rob Rotten, Otto Bauer, Tommy Gunn, Sergio Roho, Erica McLean, and a midget in a Mardi Gras mask comprise the bulk of the cast. The movie features eight scenes and loads of wonderful extras, lavish costumes, hijinks, mayhem, ballyhoo, protestors, the sublime, the ghoulish, and the decadent. Pretty much everything but the bearded lady makes its way into this masterpiece.

Erica wanders throughout like the tiny little string that ties the narrative thread of this beautiful and lush chaos together, inspiring or moderating the erotic couplings. She even goes so far as to intimately inspect some of the girls (see also: the lovely Kimberly Kane) after they have been filled with fresh loads of piping hot cum.

In the end, the sex acts are fittingly strange, with Otto and Audrey turning in a comparably tame but smoldering and passionate scene that mesmerizes, and little Madison Scott taking the forty inches of dick Lee Stone has to offer six ways to Sunday up her every tiny luscious little orifices—literally. If this lithe blonde stunner isn't the performer of the year, we can't imagine who is.

"Hardcore Circus" comes out by month's end from Hustler. Look for it. In the meantime, put on your top hat and check out the snaps our ringmaster sent us! Happy Monday!
