Pearl Review - Mia Goth's Twisted Delusions of Grandeur
While subverting the conventions of Golden Age cinema with the characteristics of a slasher, Pearl studies the delusions of grandeur inspired by the movies.

Mike DeMarko is having issues with his computer, so he calls up Brett Bradley from technical support to fix it. When he comes back from lunch, he finds Brett masturbating in his office chair and watching porn on his laptop! Mike’s competitive nature takes over, so it’s a golden opportunity to service the hardworking tech guy and prove his cock is the biggest. Zeke Weidman and Sean Christopher are always playing games against each other. Sean is on a winning streak and Zeke is getting frustrated, so he makes a bet with him: Zeke wants to see who has the biggest dick. Armando DeArmas and Trey Turner are another very competitive couple and tonight they have David Benjamin over for some extra fun. They caress his body while trying to decide who gets to fuck him first, and soon they’re arguing about who will fuck him the best. Also starring Billy Santoro and Brayden Allen, you’re sure to enjoy these macho studs compare their big dicks and fuck their hardest.
