GrindAss House is an homage to the gay adult movies of the 1970s, complete with intentional bad acting, horrid outfits, and filming techniques that lets the viewer know that the only thing that really matters is hot gay sex. Like it's mainstream namesake, its full of crazy fake names, fake trailers, and broken reels.
