Mr. Skin's always saying that when it comes to nudity, premium cable is where it's at. We love the boob tube because it's not afraid of skin, so it's nice to know that TV execs love us right back.
Party Down creator Dan Etheridge asserted in an oral history last year that Starz pushed them to "explore premium content" (i.e., nudity) on the show, and in a new interview Neil Marshall, who directed Game of Thrones' climactic Season 2 "Blackwater" episode, confirms that HBO execs also have boobs on the brain. As Marshall tells the Empire Film Podcast:
"It was pretty surreal. I’d not done anything like that in my films before. But the weirdest part was when you have one of the exec producers leaning over your shoulder, going, “You can go full frontal, you know. This is television, you can do whatever you want! And do it! I urge you to do it.” So I was like, “Okay, well, if you you’re the boss.”
Marshall goes on to say, "This particular exec took me to one side and said, 'Look, I represent the pervert side of the audience, okay? Everybody else is the serious drama sideI represent the perv side of the audience, and I’m saying I want full frontal nudity in this scene.' So you go ahead and do it."
So if you enjoyed porn star Sahara Knite's full-frontal scene in the "Blackwater" episode, you have HBO's CPO (Chief Pervert Officer) to thank. And oh, how very grateful we are.
