The Next Valentino

About This Movie

So, 'The Next Valentino' is quite the curious piece from 1988. You’ve got Kevin Glover narrating this insider's perspective on the adult film industry, which is really something. The way it unfolds, following Thad Baker as he navigates his film education, has this raw, almost documentary-like quality. What’s interesting is how Glover breaks the fourth wall occasionally; he defines industry terms in a casual way that feels both informative and a bit cheeky. There's a certain awkward charm to it all, with Thad's struggles feeling genuine rather than scripted. It’s distinctly different from your average adult feature, making it a unique watch for those interested in the behind-the-scenes aspects of the adult film world.

This film has had a limited release history and appears infrequently in collector circles, which adds to its appeal for those who appreciate niche adult cinema. The scarcity of physical copies, especially in good condition, can make it a sought-after item for dedicated collectors. It's worth noting that the combination of the offbeat narrative style and the insider look into the adult film industry creates a distinctive artifact that stands apart from mainstream titles.
