As both of the movies in the title came out during the fall of 2023, it’s worth comparing them.
“Seduce and Destroy” is a spy porn parody movie starring Luna Star, she “is a seductive femme fatale made manifest” as publisher Brazzers states in the description. The movie was shot on beach locations, featuring many other Brazzers performers like hot and upcoming CJ Miles, Kelsi Monroe, Mick Blue and Oliver Flynn.
Influence: Vanna Bardot is a Tushy showcase, starring the your petite starlet Vanna Bardot, featuring her first double penetration and first anal scenes. The movie also features Vicki Chase, Jax Slayher and Maximo Garcia.
The main stars
Fortunately, both of the companies spent enough from the budget on the main stars so they both are present in all the scenes in their movies, respectively: Vanna, the 24 years old actress from Miami stars in all five scenes of Influence. Luna Star, who can be considered porn veteran with her 34 years, stars in all four scenes, almost structured the same: one DP, one lesbian, one simple hardcore and a threesome. Both of them are the main stars and main characters of their movies, completely ruling the scenes.
Plot
Fitting to the general concept of porn movies, both have cheesy plots. In Influence, Vanna’s character (named Vanna, as a usual naming convention of the Tushy franchise) tries to build a business empire. Thus, she has to sleep with multiple men and even some women. Some crypto shit is also involved but frankly, no one really cares about that.
The Brazzers spy porn parody has some very vague storyline in which Luna’s character is trying to get some secrets. But as we go through, we’ll see more and more disturbing fallacies:
How do they have a strap on in the middle of a tropical beach where they arrived in their bathing suits only?
How can two female spies play with each other during skydiving?
Fucking on the hood of the car solely: why not inside? And so on and so on...
Music
“Influence” has its own track, along with a standalone song performed by Queenie Satin. Not great but not bad either, still shows the effort the creators put into the movie.
The Luna Star flick creators used cliché sample music which still works well for a porn movie. Unfortunately, the other sounds are very disturbing: badly recorded scene sounds include popping envelopes, loud crickets, ship engine humming and so on.
Lights
Too bad the Brazzers crew used the natural sunlight only. Even on a yacht, the shadows are too harsh, drawing too strong black lines compared to the sunlight areas. In Influence, the Tushy crew used proper lights so everything is perfectly visible, even Vanna’s gaping pink asshole, which is opening too much sometimes – one can tell she’s not so experienced in shooting anal.
Cum play
The Brazzers director Jesus "Zeus" Muniz concentrated on the fucking itself only, so we only get to enjoys a few moments of cum being shot into Luna’s mouth, or on her body. The snow balling shot at the end with Kelsie Monroe lasted for 16 seconds only. Influence director Derek Dozer took the time for long minutes of cum play in almost all of the scenes.
Anal
Vanna Bardot is fucked in her ass in every single “Influence” scenes, even in the lesbian ones. The close-ups and the plenty of time showing her getting used to it make the scenes exciting and sensual. And as we can see her pink rosebud gaping between the hardcore poundings, one can tell she’s really tight back there, feeling her struggles to take them all. Even her co-pornstars have all their asses pounded by BBCs or just toys, but they all take it deep and hard. Amazing shots!
Luna Star also performs anal in two scenes, showing an amazing performance. She’s taking it like a champ, even in her DP scene. But the back door plays are too fast, too playful, like they are just some normal days in her life, not a stretching rare experience.
Overall,
I enjoyed the Vanna Bardot flick much much more. The plot was more interesting, the sex was harder and most exciting, and the whole movie was put together with so much precision it really made my day. Seduce and Destroy isn’t bad either, but feels more like something to watch having a hangover. I’ll definitely keep on watching scenes from both studios, but I think Tushy has won this fall.
