This rather limp porn romance by veteran Ernest Greene was saved by a fun spoof of a spoof included, providing needed comedy relief. Otherwise, it is an unfortunate example of how the shift toward "all-sex" content has taken over even at a once-great label Adam & Eve.
Main event is a very corny and rather stupid updating of the traditional porn structure where sex vignettes would be framed as sex scenes derived from a radio call-in show, where the host (usually a sexy-voiced woman) would take phone calls and give advice to the lovelorn. Instead, in keeping up with the times we have a podcast, hosted by the married team of April Olsen and Nathan Bronson, with Freya Parker as their producer.
Replacing the phone callers, they instead answer emails received during the podcast, hardly an improvement over the standard format, in that we're robbed of hearing the personal statements directly from the listeners. This results in three vignettes showing the listeners acting upon the casters' advice, followed by a 100% predictable threesome of April, Freya and Nathan having sex on the couch of the living room of my favorite location, the "Immoral Proposal" mansion.
Making the two hours almost worthwhile is a well-played (by Bronson and Olsen) spoof of Saturday Night Live's fabulous skits mocking National Public Radio a couple of decades ago, with the radio show "The Delicious Dish", perhaps the ultimate in comical use of double entendres. In place of Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon we have Bronson and Olsen doing overlapping dialogue delivered with mellow ASMR voices at the microphones. They don't have talented writers like the SNL staff so what they're saying isn't funny, but their delivery is A-OK.
