I watched this last night on the road on HBO MAX. It was the first film released in the trilogy.
The film ‘Pearl’ took place in 1918, this film takes place in 1979.
Pearl is in it as an old, decrepit and horny old woman. She is still married to Howard. She never achieved the fame/success she wanted in the first film and is still stuck on the farm. She see’s herself in the young girl ‘Maxine’ who shows up with others on her farm to secretly shoot a porn movie.
The porn movie being shot fits in with the prequel film when Pearl first sees her first porno. This and Pearl’s disappointment on her life connects this film to the prequel.
The movie is shot in a ‘Grindhouse’ style and has similarities to the cult classic ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’.
For the Militants, there is interracial between BM/WW. They are shown have full Rated X sex. Kid Cudi/Brittany Snow’s scene shows the most. Mia Goth just shows her in cowgirl.
For the Thirsty, Brittany Snow and Mia Goth are seen nude in a few scenes. Jenna Ortega only goes down to her bra/underwear.
For the Foot Fiends, Mia and Brittany’s feet are shown in a number of scenes.
For the Gay Agenda trackers, there is BM nudity of Kid Cudi. There is a full frontal scene with him in the dark and his ‘Fake’ penis can be seen swinging.
It isn’t explained why Pearl is still with her husband after what he saw when he returned home and why he accepted the way she is. Some information is given on Maxine’s background. I will suspect more will be explained in the 3rd film ‘Maxxxine’.
Good amount of graphic violence in this film compared to the first which had less.
I rushed binging these two cuz HBO MAX plans on removing these two from there service tonight at midnight for whatever reason.
Looking forward to the 3rd film.
