Awesome Upgrade
"So glad this got an upgrade to HD, both flicks are a lot of fun, the restorations are a thing of beauty. It’s a welcome surprise to get Peekaramas upgraded from DVD to blu-ray with nice slips!"
This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Rich Long) was limited to 2,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.
PEEKARAMA presents the wildest, rarest, and most scandalous theatrical hardcore double features. Taking its name from one of the earliest "all action" sex theatre chains, each PEEKARAMA release presents two themed, full length feature films, both meticulously restored, thus giving you the opportunity to enjoy an old fashioned dirty movie double feature at home!
Hyapatia Lee was one of the biggest names during the twilight years of theatrical hardcore. As she began to take more creative control over her film appearances, including helping to author their screenplays, she also brought her husband, Bud, into the mix to serve as her director; a decision which would help launch his own lengthy filmmaking career. Presented here are two of Hyapatia’s final theatrical features, and Bud’s directing debut, both scanned and restored in 2K by Peekarama. Making their way through the English countryside on their way to Canterbury, a group of travelers rest each night and conclude their evenings by sharing the sultriest of erotic fables in this delightful hardcore adaptation of Chaucer’s classic tome. A big budget comedy-costume epic, THE RIBALD TALES OF CANTERBURY mixes bawdy humor and elegant eroticism and co-stars Colleen Brennan (Sharon Kelly), Mike Horner, Buffy Davis, Beverly Bliss, Peter North, and more. Radio station KNUT has been struggling to sustain their listenership, and when their top sponsor threatens to pull out for good, bossman Gary threatens to fire the entire staff unless they can get ratings way up. DJ Tasty Tastums knows just what to do and switches the programming to a much sexier selection of lister call-ins. Featuring supporting performances from Kristara Barrington, Stacey Donovan, Karen Summer, Mike Horner, Gail Force, Ashley Welles, and more, this cheeky and well paced comedy combines now-nostalgic 80s pop culture references with smoldering sex.

"Not my favorite XXX, but this release is nonetheless quite a valuable addition! Now upgraded with English SDH (which most people would argue is not necessary for porn, but nice that it also includes the song lyrics which are pertinent to the story). Transfer is great and a few bonus features round out a solid release!"
"Anything with Hyapatia Lee is worth watching. I also love medieval settings so that just made it even better. Film is a breeze to get through. All Hyapatia Lee fans should check it out. Did not care to check out Tasty"
"This is a great double feature because both movies actually feel like movies first. The Ribald Tales of Canterbury is surprisingly ambitious for an adult production, with period costumes, sets, bawdy humor, and an anthology structure that gives the different stories their own flavor. The erotic scenes are playful and energetic, and the medieval setting makes them feel a lot more distinctive than the usual formula. Hyapatia Lee and Colleen Brennan are both especially memorable. Tasty is lighter and more contemporary, but I liked its goofy radio-station setup and very ’80s sense of humor. The sex scenes fit naturally into the premise and keep the movie fun rather than repetitive. Both films have that warm, colorful 35mm look, and the restoration preserves plenty of film texture while still looking clean and detailed. The artwork on the limited slipcover is also excellent and fits the retro tone perfectly. A really entertaining pair of films and a strong Peekarama release."
"Review of Canterbury: PUT THAT THEME SONG ON SPOTIFY RIGHT NOW!!! listen I’m mad this porn movie from 1985 had probably 10x the effort in set design and costuming than any Hollywood medieval movie in the last 20 years. Actual COLORS and they had VARIOUS headwear for men and women!!! Not just generic black leather armor slop!!! And as someone with a costume kink this whole thing was heavily appreciated And while not perfect: there is a MILD attempt at having the dialogue sound slightly “olden” and it works! Lots of standard porn humor but it’s all funny. Tasty review: If those two last sex scenes weren’t so ungodly long this would be higher. But they’re SO long when compared to all the other ones and it messes with the pacing. Also: I wanted more plot at the radio station!! idgaf if this is porn I want plot!! Also also: I need all these songs on streaming NOW!!! All bangers. Pure bangers. Especially I think the main theme?"
"The quality of the film looks great. Glad they are switching movies over to bluray and 4k"
"These are two great flicks and with top notch restorations."
"Probably my fave era of porn. Mid 80s stuff"
"Amazing Release of both of these adult classics for the golden age of sleaze! Nice packaging! A+ Highly Recommended!"
"Really fun. Bud Lee is great"
