A brilliant director, a magnetic screen presence, and a cocksucker extraordinaire, Al Parker blazed like a 9-inched comet through the golden age of gay porn.

Our normal Tuesday night slot couldn't possibly contain a man of Parker's, ahem, *stature*, so we're breaking out of our midweek shackles to pay tribute to this legendary porn auteur with a screening of some of his best work. 

If he'd stayed in front of the camera, Parker would have gone down in history as one of the greatest stars of the golden age of gay porn. Considered to have shaped the dominant "clone" aesthetic of the 70s and 80s, Parker was not just a vision of physical perfection, he embodied an approachable "unc next door" vibe that was downright irresistible. 

But a man as gifted Al Parker was bound to take the creative reins at some point, and under the banner of Surge Studios, he put out a series of pornos that are some of the most adventurous examples of 80s gay adult cinema (and that's really saying something).

Parker also pioneered the use of electronic music in his films, so please stick around in the bar afterwards to hear some of the best cuts from Surge Studios soundtracks. Let's all imagine we're (being fucked by) Al Parker!
