We're kicking off a new theme, 'Sex work and Pornography', with Justin Kelly's 2016 true crime adaptation, King Cobra (2016) which tells the story of underage porn star Brent Corrigan and the murder of Bryan Kocis (here named Stephen).

Starring Christian Slater (superb) and James Franco (ick) as predatory older gay men, the film is stylish, but hollow.

Bonus points for Molly Ringwald and Alicia Silverstone, though!
