Joanna Angel: Clothes On, Pissed Off

Much as we love everything Fleshbot Supreme Commandress Joanna Angel does with her clothes off, it's nice to see her pop up in places where we don't have to pop up, too.

As a disgruntled party host in the pilot "The Further Adventures of Edmund and Pablo," Angel is the oblivious crush object of Edmund (Jon Daly), who insults her food by oversalting it. But we are similarly awkward in her presence.

The pilot is available on Youtube and we would have liked it even if Angel weren't in it-though we're glad she was. The story of two antisocial Hollywood losers whose douchebaggery is directly proportional to their comeuppances, "Edmund And Pablo" also stars G4TV's Alison Haislip and co-writer Pablo Valencia, who plays a subtle, innocent foil to Daly's toolishness.

The script was co-written and directed by Ed Dougherty, and produced by Justin Dittrich who, several years ago, made a very funny porn movie called "Spunk'd."

And, as is the case with low-budget Hollywood specs, there is a surprising cameo: Russ Tamblyn, an Oscar nominee for "Peyton Place" and beloved for his role as Riff in "West Side Story," shows up a few scenes later. So Angel joins Sasha Grey in knowing someone who went to the Oscars. And Angel thanks boyfriend James Deen in the credits, which is more than Hilary Swank did for poor Chad Lowe...

Watch the very SFW pilot for free to see Angel be perturbed by a lout. And then wonder what she might look like naked.
