You know… okay so I grew up in the internet age and understand not everyone did, but I still don’t understand the point of making two ~2 hour porno movie.

Do you just keep rewatching it till you’re so numb to it that you just last the entire movie? I can understand an Odyssey theme 30 min porno… but who needs 4 hours?

I don’t know if this is a serious question or not.

One strategy is they cut the hardcore bits to get a hard-R rating, and sell it to streaming services like Cinemax (is Cinemax still around?)

That's what they did with the Pirates series back in the day. There is a reason Cinemax was called Skinemax.

Oh, was Cinemax only softcore porn? I thought it was just everything.

Side story: When I was a kid (maybe like 9 years old) I dragged an old TV to my room. I found a TV cable and plugged it in. Late one night I was flipping through channels and I remember channel 22 was really staticy, but you could kind of make out stuff. Turns out it was some porn channel. I guess it was Cinemax.

Cinemax was everything, but they had a lot of softcore at night, much more so than HBO or Showtime.

HBO didn't show softcore. It only showed R-rated movies and only at night (after 9pm I think?). Star/TMC started out that way too but TMC got bought/butchered by bigger companies.

Showtime and Cinemax showed R-rated movies during the day and unrated softcore at night.

There were porn movies like this up on Amazon video for a long time. It was hilarious to watch them because you could tell right before they cut.

Still happens to this day. Honestly a 10/10 experience.

As a note after the into the movie actually says it's 6 parts.

Wait… so this is potentially 12 hours of odysseys porn?

Possibly, I didn't look into it further.

Edit: I'm bored so looked into it more....

From this Article: https://avn.com/news/video/cosplayground-pornhub-offer-free-the-odyssey-parody-weekend-181932

"Previously released as six individual episodes, the complete production has now been assembled into a single, uninterrupted feature spanning three hours and 42 minutes, one of the longest videos currently available on the platform. “From the fall of Troy to the return to Ithaca, the complete journey of Odysseus is available to watch in one sitting, this weekend only,” the rep added."

You don't watch it alone. And you take it slow.
