(Hollywood, CA) Multi-award-winning, prolific director Jim Powers is one of the wildest interviews Holly Randall has ever done—it’s so wild that the full version is only available on Apple Podcasts and Patreon. The video version on YouTube is only a portion of the chaos, comedy, and cumshots.

The Apple Podcast version, “Jim Powers: Godfather of American Bukkake,” is educational right from the start—it opens with instructions on how to buy porn furniture for shoots. Then, Holly and Jim talk about Jim’s origin story, which was accidental, and he was previously a stockbroker. Jim discusses shooting his first sex scenes on the beach and getting arrested. They talk about Jim founding the iconic American Bukkake series, wrangling 150 guys for a cumshot, and creating Bag Ladies for JM Productions. He was always jumping the shark and received an unexpected Hall of Fame induction. It’s over 60 minutes of wild tales, which is an outrageous, unfiltered crash course in porn history.

“It was great to talk about the Wild West of porn, and I was happy to fill Holly’s bukkake cup with all the insane American Bukkake stories! I had a great time on her podcast and hope that I educated a whole new generation on the adult industry. Enjoy!” says Jim Powers.

Jim Powers is one of the most prolific directors of our time who’s always been known for being controversial and once told Forbes he wants to be the Warren Buffett of porno. Growing up in the Valley in the 1970s, Jim was influenced by comic books, horror movies, fan magazines, and skateboarding, and in the 1980s, all he wanted to do was be a punk rocker and skateboarder. After graduating from Cal State Northridge, he became a stockbroker, a DVD distributor, and a part-time pornographer.

In 1992, while gambling in Ballys in Vegas, Jim wandered into the AVN Awards and decided he could make a better movie than most people there for $5k—he and his friend put up $2500 each to make “The Hills Have Thighs.” Kevin Beachum of Midnight Pictures encouraged him to shoot amateurs on the beach, even though he had never even picked up a camera. While shooting on the beach in Malibu, his set was shut down, and he was hit with felony charges of pandering and conspiracy. He continued to shoot at private houses and swinger parties for Beachum and other companies to cover his legal bills.

In 1993, a chance meeting with Jeff Mike of JM Productions led to history when the two joined forces, regularly pushing the limits of sex while still staying out of prison. Jim helped them roll out their bukkake line and invented American Bukkake—Downtown Larry Melrose from the Howard Stern Show was frequently on his sets. Jim had his own company, Powersville, and directed for legendary adult studios Heatwave, Mayhem, Sin City, Notorious, Immoral Productions, and Smash Pictures. Currently, he directs for Gender X, Devil’s Film, BiPhoria, Dogfart, Zero Tolerance, Adult Time, Transfixed, Fantasy Massage, and Addicted to Girls, and averages over 300 scenes per year. In 2023, ASN Lifestyle Magazine profiled him with a 10-page feature.

With 50 performer credits and thousands of scenes as a director, Jim won Director of the Year (Body of Work) and Best Director – Non-Feature from the AVN Awards and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2005. He’s also scored countless AVN Awards nominations for Best Director, Best Director – Feature, Director of the Year: Individual Project, Best Directing Portfolio – Specialty, Best Director – Parody, Director of the Year (Body of Work), Director – Non-Feature, and Best Videography, as well as Gonzo Director of the Year from the XBIZ Awards, Best Producer Nominee from the TEAs, Best Director – Parody from XRCOs, and Top BDSM Release from AEBN’s VOD Awards.

During the Black Flag era, Jim sported a mohawk and toured in punk rock bands. He still plays bass in the punk rock band Killroy at high-end venues like Roxy, Viper Room, and Knitting Factory.
