Son Doobie: Love Doctor

Rappers associated with porn are hardly rare: Snoop Dogg the most obvious example. This fairly lousy porn video spotlights Son Doobie (Jason Vasquez) from the group Funkdoobiest, but even as an artifact has been lost in the landfills of cinema history.

And under the ground is probably where it belongs. The late, barely lamented Adult Entertainment label Metro released a number of interesting titles over the years, particularly the work of director James Avalon as well as the noteworthy artcore project "Zazel", but this falls into the ephemeral junk category.

The oft-used Radio Show format for episodic porn, recently revived to quality effect by British auteurs, is the spine for this one, as Son Doobie plays a fictionalized version of himself as an FM radio host who gives sex advice on his call-in show. The tales are illustrated for us or folks visit the studio to hump. Very simple, even the anonymous director "Michael Stone" could handle such a routine assignment. Unfortunately for me he has Quasarman (Mike Quasar) handling the camera, a sure danger signal that the product will be unworthy of human consumption.

Doobie is unimpressive as a sort of observer of human frailty from his perch in the radio station booth, masturbating and only latterly gets involved in the freaky action. His name-dropping patter is stupid, with lots of plugs for the likes of Ron Jeremy -typical inanity.

Of the vignettes the best has to be the team of Summer Cummings and Skye Blue showing up as lesbians in the studio to impress Doobie. Their polished act applying all sorts of toys, dildos, butt plug into Summer's vagina and asshole gets old fast, but might have been an eyeopener for mainstream fans (if any) who watched this VHS release back in the day.

In that mode, Bridgette Kerkove shows up to do one of her kinky routines, and lovely Claudia Chase services Doobie in the studio finale. She starred around this time in Quasarman's magnum opus (I believe he made it under a pseudonym) "Memoirs of a Madam", the only one of his thousands of videos I could recommend. It's no stretch to tentatively (in want of evidence) speculate that Mike Stone here is actually Mike Quasar.

After several verbal plugs, Ron Jeremy shows up in the flesh, as does Jake Steed so perhaps their cult fans will rediscover this loser some day.
