Jade Venus Guests on Holly Randall Unfiltered

Jade Venus Guests on Holly Randall Unfiltered   (Hollywood, CA) Stunning blonde Italian adult entertainer, model, and creator Jade Venus is the latest guest on the Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast, and her fans are in for a good time.   “Topping the Industry: Jade Venus on Power, Pain & Longevity” is the last episode filmed/recorded in Holly Randall’s old studio. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to go from being from a small town in Montana to a powerhouse trans performer in the industry, watch this episode. Holly and Jade cover a lot of ground, from Jade coming out as trans at 12, growing up with Tori Easton, leaving home for Cali at 18, and working at Abercrombie while camming for $1k a day. Jade also has some highly entertaining stories, like how she finished off her Agent Provocateur corset and lingerie pieces with a skirt from the fashion district, cracking her ribs for beauty, streaming/gaming Fortnite and Overwatch, and on-set horror stories. Jade also gets real when she discusses addiction and sobriety, industry politics, trans visibility, and why comfort, not fame, is the ultimate flex.   “Holly was incredible, and this was one of my favorite interviews—she did her research and had stellar questions and made me feel completely at ease, which is not an easy feat. And unlike other hosts, she really got me. I really love her, and you’ll love this interview,” says Jade Venus.   Sponsored by Stripchat, listen to the audio version of “Topping the Industry: Jade Venus on Power, Pain & Longevity” on Apple Podcasts.

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 Bally’s 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, Adult Time, Transfixed, and Fantasy Massage, 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 and Best Trans Movie from the XMAs in 2026. He’s also scored countless AVN Awards, XMAs, XRCOs, Bazowie, and AEBN’s VOD Awards nominations.   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.
