Sounds like a great business model.

I watched most of their scenes pretty closely when they came out, and I remember the different permutations pretty well. Each individual scene usually involved the same 3 or 4 tops and one bottom, mostly in one room or set, with the occasional variation obviously (a weird mid-course swap-out of the bottom, etc.). Even if the same rotation of performers filmed multiple scenes in a day or over the course of several days, they would switch off in terms of who bottomed, who was on camera duty (mostly incompetently so, of course) and who was topping. These recent compilations of what I believe are outtakes hop from setting to setting, cast to cast, and in some cases are listed as having production dates that span a bigger range of dates than was typical for their shooting period. Most of their classic episodes are listed as filming on one day.

They’ve always taken one filmed scene and split it up into multiple updates, trying to pass it off like they were all filmed separately. When a studio starts recycling scenes (and doesn’t list it as a recycled scene) it’s rare for them to add something to it because they’re hoping people won’t notice. Also, taking the time to do that is of no benefit if the studio is struggling. But FX does whatever they want, so who knows. It would take someone watching the original and the rerelease to see if that’s the case.

There have been a couple updates like this in the past 5-6 months where they seem to have done just that — cobble outtakes or unused sequences. This is from a period where they might have shot 2-3 scenes.

The main images were taken at the same time. Don’t know if this update is the same scene or a new one pieced together from the cutting room floor.

I can’t see them cobbling old edits together. That would take time and effort. That’s not the Fraternity X way.

Lol. That might already be the case. Trevor Spade hasn’t done porn in years and the production date states 2014.
