13 MORE QUESTIONS WITH BRANDON IRON

You might be curious as to why we're recycling interviewees when we're only NINE interviews deep into the PORN section of this website. Then again, you might not be. If you ARE, then perhaps you deserve an explanation (and then again, perhaps not). You see, we had so much fun with adult video producer/performer BRANDON IRON the first time we interviewed him, that we decided to hit him up again to answer some stupid questions. You wouldn't think this is the case, but it's not as easy as you might think to find people in the ADULT business who are willing to answer moronic, perverse questions. Several of the people we have contacted about doing these interviews are overly fucking sensitive (which we think is a little ridiculous considering how many of them are getting corn-holed upside-down for a living), so when we DO find someone like Brandon, who is open to an asshole line of questioning, we fire away.

Brandon has produced some of the most graphic sex scenes ever committed to video. Whether you're watching videos from the SLAP HAPPY series, A Good Source of Iron, or Bell Bottoms, you know for certain you're getting quality product from this guy. So, without further explanation, we give you 13 MORE QUESTIONS...with BRANDON IRON.

Steve C: One scene in A Good Source of Iron features you banging this little blonde chick up the pooper, and like a champ, she does a little ass-to-mouth action. During one butt-to-face transition, you have a small (but noticeable) chunk of poo on your unit...which she willingly takes into her mouth. Were you aware of it during the scene, and if so, why not just mention to the chick that she was about to gobble down a chunk of poo?

Brandon Iron: That was not poo. That was brown-colored lube that was created at a lab to look, smell, feel, and taste like poo. I am glad we fooled you but it was very expensive to develop this technology. We may discontinue this poo-centric research now that the secret is out. (Horseshit. He probably didn't even know about li'l miss poo-gobbler until we just mentioned it)

SC: After watching a handful of titles from the Platinum X catalog, I've noticed that the quality of women you and the other directors are recruiting is substantially above par for smut flicks (especially considering the graphic nature of some of the videos). Are you guys actively paying out the big bucks for cuter girls, or are there just that many MORE hotties looking to do work in porno?

BI: I honestly believe that being associated with the likes of Jewel De'Nyle, Michael Stefano, Manuel Ferrara, Steve Holmes, Mason, Sean Michaels, and Julian elevates us on the porn ladder. New talent look up to these performer/directors and want to work with them. Girls starting out in the business look up to Jewel for all that she has accomplished. She set big goals...then exceeded them! Michael, Manuel, Steve, Sean, and Julian are top-level performers who consistently deliver great scenes. Michael is the current AVN Male Performer of the Year. Mason has proven that she can make hardcore movies with a lot of creativity and passion. As far as pay goes, Platinum X Pictures has a reputation for paying people very well and not making them wait around all day. We usually shoot one scene per day. No one is rushed and the quality shows in the final product.

SC: Considering the vast amount of adult material available for mass-consumption (DVD, video-on-demand, pay-per-view, satellite, adult websites), how much harder is it for guys like you who are generating the content to make money off the content?

BI: It's an incredibly competitive market, but we believe that we are putting out quality product. So far the response has been tremendous. Our out-the-door sales continue to increase each month and our re-orders (especially on DVD) are phenomenal. There are at least 20 online vendors who carry our product. We are launching a pay site later in 2004. We have many VOD (VOD = Video On Demand) revenue sharing programs set up. For a business that has been around less than one year, we have experienced a lot of success. It really gets you excited. No one works as hard for others as you do for yourself. At Platinum X Pictures, hard work pays off.

SC: You once said in an interview, "You take two rectangular pieces of paper from the wad (referring to a wad of cash) and give it to an eighteen year old girl who has never done video and she will suck your dick. It’s fantastic"... Is it REALLY that easy? When you're casting a video in which a an eighteen year-old girl has to get fucked up the ass by two guys and take a load of goo the forehead, what's the move? How do you avoid getting kicked in the balls or getting the cops called on you?

BI: I don't want to make it sound like it is EASY to make porn, but it isn't rocket science either. Casting the right people has a lot to do with the success or failure of any project. We just try to get the girls doing what they really enjoy doing. If a girl likes to swallow, she can do A GOOD SOURCE OF IRON. If she only does guys, Jewel can offer her DIRTY GIRLZ. You are only attracted to Julian? She can work with him one-on-one for his POV PINUPS series. Every week we have many girls who come to our offices looking to be in our movies. Also, agents bring girls to our offices on a regular basis. Newer girls tend to have good experiences working with Michael, Julian, Sean, Steve, or Manuel.

SC: A woman once asked me this, so I'll ask you since I had to bullshit my way through an answer: Why is the anal genre so popular? Many of the videos you do feature girls getting cornholed by several different guys, and obviously you wouldn't be making them if there weren't a market.

BI: I think a lot of guys are fascinated by watching a beautiful woman get sodomized by a big dick. Before I got into porn, I didn't get to fuck beautiful women in the ass. It just didn't happen. Watching porn was a way of living vicariously through guys like Tom Byron, Peter North, TT Boy, and Joey Silvera. As a fan, I want to see people doing the kinds of things I would like to be doing. A woman's perfect ass getting fucked is a beautiful thing! (Ah, so basically these videos are for all the guys who try to give their chicks the dumper love, and wind up getting yelled at, or punched in the balls. Gotcha)

SC: Hypothetical situation: An eccentric millionaire contracts you to make a series of adult videos titled Potato Gun Pimps, in which young women must stand in front of a big bullseye, and withstand a shot from a potato gun (AFTER having sex of course). You will be paid four million dollars for four videos, but the likelihood that your studios will be raided by Federal investigators and that your name will be on an FBI shit-list is substantial. Do you take the cash and make the videos or tell Mr. Moneybags to go screw?

BI: Make the movies! This industry is scared to show many things that consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home. The powers that be somehow think that showing a woman being fisted is obscene. Who's to say? Certainly not me. I don't want to be a lightning rod for attention. Being a martyr just doesn't suit me. I just think that society can handle consenting adults doing what they choose to do in the privacy of their own home...or on a DVD. (I'd still like to see him say that to the FBI)

SC: During our last interview, you had some fairly unflattering things to say about Rob Black (or as you called him "Deadbeat Black") from Extreme Associates. Assuming you've mellowed considerably since then, what would you say about his "crusade" against the federal government? Would you say that he's fighting the good fight for the good of the adult entertainment community, or is he painting more of a bullseye on guys like you?

BI: No one who supports freedom of speech in this industry wants to see anyone, including Rob Black, go to prison on an obsenity charge. I support freedom of speech.

SC: Let's say that the "rough sex" genre becomes played out (which, given the rate at which material is imitated, could happen sooner rather than later). What could possibly be the next extreme step in pornography?

BI: Good sex will always sell. No gimmicks. No fads or trends. Just shoot the kind of sex that gets you off and someone will be into it. I don't believe the rough genre has even come into its own yet. 2004 will bring some interesting product. Here is what is coming down the pipe from Platinum X Pictures and Brandon Iron Productions in the next few months:
February 2004: PHOTOGRAPHIC MAMMARIES (Big bust lust!)
March: A GOOD SOURCE OF IRON #2 (up to 100 loads swallowed)
April: BAKER'S DOZEN (massive facials. 3 girls. 45 loads)
May: SIX PACK (mini-gangbangs. 3 girls take on 18 guys)
June: BELL BOTTOMS #2 (round butts probed better than any alien could do it)
...and in July: TEN LITTLE PIGGIES #3 (100 toes worshipped)
Details to be posted at Platinum X Pictures.


SC: Here's the setup: You're in a New York City strip club, in which beautiful women are bringing home anywhere from five hundred to a thousand bucks a night to show men their tits. You need to pick up two girls for a shoot with you later that week. Do you:
- Approach girls with an offer of $500 each for one scene?
- Approach them with an offer of $1000 each for one scene?
- Keep your mouth shut, and try not to get whacked by a Russian pimp?
- None of the Above

BI: That's an easy one. Pay the girls $2,000 each to dominate the Russian pimp by sitting on his face and pimp-slapping him. Film it. While one is sitting on his face and the other is riding him cowgirl, take his wallet filled with money. Everyone wins! If the pimp causes problems, blackmail him with the video. (Yeah, you go blackmail a Russian mobster. I'll help identify your head when it washes up along the East River)

SC: I once saw a video you directed in which you graded girls on their performance in a scene (the name escapes me at the moment; a lot of these tend to blend together after a while). Grades ranged from A's to F's for certain girls. If you could ever give one of your co-star's performances/scenes a grade of F-minus, which would it be?

BI: The series was TRY-A-TEEN from Legend, the bastard child of the TEEN TRYOUTS line from Devil's Films. It was produced and directed by Mark Wood and I. We had a lot of fun with most girls. I can't even remember the bad girls. Let's just say that time heals all wounds and that all those girls are now straight A students.

SC: One of your business associates, Jewel DeNyle, told us that she's really into the peeing thing (it's very 'animalistic') and Aurora Snow said she'd never do a shitting video (can't say we blame her). Where's Brandon Iron's threshold? Does he have one?

BI: Anything that comes out of either Jewel or Aurora is OK with me. They have the best pussies and asses in the business! As for me, I am reluctant to do a reverse gangbang with, say, 20 women. I am willing to try one, though, just to get over my inhibitions. Producers can contact me to discuss how much I will have to pay them to be given this opporunity. Not sure who said, "You only live once, and once is enough if you do it right!" Leave the thresholds, inhibitions, etc. at the bedroom door when you get into porn. You will learn a lot about yourself and others. The human body is a magnificent thing! (I'll bet that last line works wonders on the eighteen year-old chicks who have never done a smut flick before)

SC: When you're in the midst of a group sex scene (Much like the one you were in with Steve Holmes and Michael Stefano in Euro Girls Never Say No 3), how do you stay excited when there's another guy getting is knob polished a few feet to your left/right?

BI: Like real estate, the three most important things in porn are location, location, location. As long as you have an unobstructed view of a nice girl, you let nature do the rest. I feed off of the energy of others. Seeing other people enjoy themselves gets me going.

SC: What do you think of the multi-million dollar corporations who profit off your product? Why shouldn't they be villianized as much as the people who generate the material?

BI: Seeing as how Platinum X Pictures has generated revenues in the 7 figures in less than one year, I can't say anything bad about multi-million dollar corporations. We are becoming one! As Gordon Gecko said in WALL STREET, "Greed is good." Sex and money fuel a lot of different industries. Only in America can both co-exist in such a great way. There is a saying to the effect that a good salesperson sells the sizzle, not the steak. With porn, you get the sizzle AND the steak. Why buy a beer just because your subconscious mind tells you it will help you get laid? Just rent a movie and actually see a hot girl get laid! The big corporations learned a long time ago that sex sells. Most successful porn studios have learned that sex shot well sells through the roof.

SC: Hypothetical situation #2: You're in the midst of a friendly game of catch with some of your friends during an adult video convention, and one of your cronies thinks it would be a real hoot to switch the soft, harmless NERF football with a live grenade, which just happens to blow up inches from your face. Your eyes are blown out of their sockets and your tongue is disintegrated, but you can still hear. Your penis also functions normally. How will you continue to function (if at all) as an adult producer/performer without the use of your eyes and voice?

BI: We're at a convention, right? Chances are Larry Flynt is there. I listen for the crowd that always surrounds him, borrow his wheelchair, mount a heat-seeking dildo on the front with a motion-activated video camera, and go to town on every contract girl signing at every booth. If a girl sounds like she is into it, I mount her and shoot a load on her face....if I can hit it, that is.

Thanks!
Brandon
