It is around the time that Tommy Lee’s penis is anthropomorphized and begins talking to him that Hulu’s new limited series 'Pam & Tommy' elevates to high art
It’s a series that makes you think in ways that might surprise you about bias, shame, and misogyny in terms of how a major news story unfurled 25 years ago—and what ways we might have all been complicit in the unsavory underbelly of a pop culture phenomenon. It’s also a true crime story. Many people, when they think about the Pam and Tommy sex tape and how it grew into a cultural punchline, forget that this was a private item that was locked up in a safe.
The camera movement around them is vigorous and stylized, often using music video tricks to center the duo in the frame in a way that evokes a cheeky laugh—like you’re meant to know you’re watching cartoonish approximations of the people themselves. That’s the impulse, after all; their brand and their images were beamed at us with that kind of heightened cartooniness all those years ago.
That giggling wink at the nostalgic lunacy of mid-’90s culture and the genre of buffoonish crime capers helps nail the exact right tone for. It settles you into the same silliness that you might have processed the sex tape scandal with in the first place, so that you might be startled, or at least enlightened, by the ways in which its impact is much more serious than that.
