X-Rated 2: The Greatest Adult Stars of All-Time

X-Rated 2: The Greatest Adult Stars of All-Time (2016) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM. It picks up the story of the performers who turned an underground business into a genuine part of pop culture, and asks what their lives actually looked like off camera.

Director Eli Cross gathers rare interviews with the people who outlasted every shift in the industry, from grindhouse theaters to streaming. Jenna Jameson, Sasha Grey, Ron Jeremy, Nina Hartley and many others sit down to talk. The film also pulls in outside voices on the genre's reach — Whoopi Goldberg and filmmaker Steven Soderbergh among them. It runs 95 minutes and looks at a controversial trade without either preaching or glamorizing it.

This isn't erotica but a retrospective, a real attempt to read the phenomenon as culture: who these people are, what fame cost them, and why their names still surface decades later. It's for anyone curious about the back rooms of show business and honest documentaries on taboo subjects. Stream X-Rated 2 (2016) online on iFILM.
