Show Notes

Wow. This is a tough one. Less a porn and more a bleak tale of abuse and addiction told through sex-scenes, Her Name Was Lisa is proof that pre-internet porn is wild, but pre-VHS porn is another thing entirely. Great performances by Samantha Fox and Vanessa del Rio—and a number of choice blazers—help this movie go down more smoothly despite the film's dark tone. Lisa's rape in the middle of the film isn't even the darkest part—her spiral into drug addiction after is what really got us.

 Her Name Was Lisa is on both the AVN's list of 101 classics as well as the X-Rated Critics Organization Hall of Fame.
