"This video is just for all the Billy Brandt fans out there," writes the star (or one of his publicists) in a blurb that appears on the box. "I wanted give something back to show I appreciate all their support." What he gives back is basically narcissistic fluff. In recent on-camera interviews publicizing Philip St. John's Getting It at the Rave, the 23-year-old dandelion-blond from Flint, Michigan seems unaffected, alert, and rather likable. But in Totally Billy, his self-conscious mugging takes patience to watch.

The camera follows Brandt through a couple of drawn-out photo shoots and a personal appearance at an Indianapolis bar. We see him negotiating the terms of the Indiana gig, wriggling through a dance routine, and signing autographs. We learn that he smokes cigarettes, that his soft drink of choice is the ultra-caffeinated Mountain Dew, and that without his glasses, he's practically blind. There's very little sex. Brandt masturbates teasingly toward the end of the second hour, and fucks his Rubensesque sometime girlfriend, whose face we never see, on two occasions.

In vehicles like Falcon's Absolute Arid, Billy Brandt established himself as one of the treasures of gay porn, so it's especially disturbing to learn that after Totally Billy was shot, he survived an automobile accident with serious injuries including broken vertebrae. One reason to purchase this flawed piece of self-promotion is that Brandt, who lacks health insurance, has incurred medical expenses that could leave him bankrupt.
