Half of this new Bree Mills DVD release from Adult TIme (laughingly tagged as a Collector Edition) was already released on DVD earlier this year as "Future Darkly: Pandemic Part 1" and is very poor. I already addressed it in my review of that DVD and will concentrate on the newer material here.
Cherie DeVille gives a tour de force performance in "Kate and the Free Man", a vignette from Bree's Pure Taboo website that manages to cover such topics as agoraphobia, paranoia and OCPD. She's trying to cope with Covid-19 by obsessively washing and scrubbing everything, unable to leave her home even to step out on the stoop to retrieve a gift of succulent plants sent by her sister (played in voice-only performance by Aaliyah Love).
DeVille's escape is by masturbation, having a recurring erotic fantasy concerning the title's Free Man, played broadly by Dick Chibbles. He's a stereotype of the macho anti-masker, proud of defying the pandemic and somehow appealing to a woman utterly crushed by the plague.
Similar to a revenge-fantasy, Cherie imagines him visiting her, met with open arms and POV camera, with the resulting sex scene right out of the early career playbook of Bree's talented competitor Missa X. Despite Bree's heavy-handed direction, this segment creates a compelling picture, from a porno point-of-view, of extreme reaction to our ongoing public health crisis.
Second newish segment is "Anna and Alex" starring the couple Lola Fae & Lucky Fate, who play lovers separated by the shutdown/quarantine restrictions of the pandemic. Voice-over narration (resembling a radio broadcast) by Carter Cruise gives exposition stating that restrictions are finally being lifteed after 30 days of no new cases in L. A., following 50,000 deaths there (compare to 25,000 actual to date in L. A. County in real life). No mentions of vaccines existing in this scene or how the virus was conquered.
Clad in near-Hazmat costume, with mask, face shield and full-body protective suit, Lucky playing Alex arrives at Anna's home and they reunite. Gradually they dare to become intimate, and daring the encroaching risibility of the scene of XXX lovemaking by performers still wearing most of the protective gear (cock visible and little else) Bree gives us a romantic climax and sense of hopefulness that is diametrically opposed to the standard downbeat/negative ending of her typical Pure Taboo vignette.
