Hot Cast

Hot Cast Review

Hot Cast is one of the 40 gay porn sites in the Studio Presse network, and this one features original content filmed by this French label as well other French producers and content from licensed DVDs. The site's tagline is "Gay porn with cute virgin boys. Handsome young gay men", so there's a wide variety of guys 18 and up here. You'll find twinks, British chavs and scallies, as well as jocks, athletes and sporty types, muscle hunks, hairy men, daddies, and muscle bears; there are White, Black, Latin, and Arab men. Most of the performers are European, so uncut cock lovers will be happy, but I saw some Americans in the mix, and you'll also find skinheads and fetish pigs in the mix.

The action and pairings are varied.  Most scenes feature slim and smooth guys in their early twenties, but some are a little older, more muscular, or sporting some body hair. There's lots of dick sucking with some blow boys having to handle some pretty big cocks before getting their holes stretched. There are 132 videos with sex toys, 688 with threesomes and small groups, over 922 videos with facial cumshots, and 306 videos with intergenerational sex. Most of the sex is filmed in homelike settings, but there are 375 videos filmed outdoors and 56 in locker rooms; others feature guys having sex in basements, store rooms, and other places. I don't see a bareback category, so I'm assuming most of the action is with condoms, but there's plenty of barebacking elsewhere in the network. There hasn't been a solo masturbation session in quite a while, but there are about 251 videos in the Wanking & Masturbation category, although not all of them are solos. 

HotCast is a French production company, but its own videos only make up a small portion of what's on offer here - only 53 of the videos are actually produced by this studio. In total there are films from nearly 100 different studios with the biggest contributors being Raw Fuck, Menoboy, Spritzz, Phoenixxx, Berryboys, Clairprod, Raw Boys, Eurocreme, and Clairprod, and several of these also have their own theaters in the network. But there are other producers here in smaller numbers like Blake Mason, Cocky Boys, UK Naked Men, and Staxus, and their content has been licensed from DVDs.

There are two ways to enjoy the videos on the site. First, you can buy a monthly membership that gives you unlimited streaming of all 40 network theaters with over 21,000 videos. While membership doesn't allow you to download any videos, it gives you the opportunity to see if there are any you'd like to add to your collection before buying a package of credits and redeeming five to ten of them to download available vids. You can also use credits to stream any of the vids without a membership.

Hot Cast offers 3,747 videos in MP4 format. You can stream the vids in a player that resizes automatically to fit your screen size including your mobiles. The newest vids come in four or five speeds, but the very oldest come in one speed at a resolution of 720x578. But with such a large number of videos, expect other resolutions, as well. And because the videos come from a wide variety of studios, you can expect all kinds of quality from average to good. I downloaded two new videos; one played at 1920x1080, the other at 1280x720, but there could be smaller sizes on some of the older releases.

Many, but not all, episodes have a gallery of six to 12 screencaps that display as decent sized thumbnails. They can't be clicked to enlarge, but you can right-click and save them, and you'll end up with the pics at their full size of 1080x604 at average to good quality. There are no zip downloads, or slideshows.

Let's talk about updates. HotCast's latest six additions are dated, and the dates indicate they were all added over the past week, however the site has only grown by five videos in just over 20 months. While the tour says there are 3,983 videos, hand-counting the scenes reveals there are only 3,747 videos in this theater. We know that Studio Presse moves videos in and out of theaters to fill out the roster, so that may be some of what we're seeing. Two of the latest 12 new releases are HotCast videos, but this studio hasn't produced a new scene for quite some time, so we're likely seeing a lot of recycling; still, there's heaps to see here. 

Let's talk about extras. HotCast belongs to the Studio Presse network, and whether you buy a streaming membership or tickets, you can use them on the entire network of 40 theaters. Raw Fuck features European twinks in bareback action with lots of cum eating and facials while Crunchboy offers 4,549 videos produced in France offering a wide variety of guys sucking and fucking. There's lots of hardcore fetish and kink from sites like Hardkinks and CazzoFilm. And several theaters are produced by solo gay porn stars like sexy twink Philipp Wants, fetish sex pig Brett Tyler, and Latin muscle daddy Viktor Rom, and relative newcomer Mika Ayden. 

Are there any issues? The videos are in a variety of languages, but only some of the non-English vids have subtitles. I have another quibble with the tour claims: while they say you get access to 28,025 videos with 150 monthly updates, these numbers refer to the entire network and not just Hot Cast. Also, movies can appear in more than one theater, so the network’s video total is exaggerated, and we estimate there are actually just over 21,00 videos, not the 28,025 the tour claims. As mentioned, be aware of is that the number of Hot Cast's own videos stands at 53 videos, and that number hasn't changed in five years, so it's safe to say that Hot Cast itself isn't producing new content, although their theater has grown a lot with content from other studios. Finally, not every video in this network is available as a paid download, but most are.

Hot Cast features a hot mix of guys including French twinks, college-aged guys, muscle hunks, scallies, Black guys and more, primarily European, so you can expect plenty of uncut cocks, and the site offers all kinds of sex from videos produced by Hot Cast and more Studio Press studios along with some DVD content. I really liked the variety here as there are all kinds of guys and action, and if they don't have your favorite kind of men, you may very well find them in the network's 39 other theaters. There's a lot to see here with members getting access to 3,747 streaming, mobile-compatible videos as well as the run of the entire huge network.
