‘Bupkis’ Director Jason Orley Discusses How the X-Rated Opening Scene Was Inspired By ‘Happy Madison’ and ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’
22.06.2023 - 02:27 / variety.com
Charna Flam “‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’ and ‘Happy Madison’ have probably seeped their way into Pete Davidson’s head, and ‘Bupkis’ is what’s come out,” is how the show’s director, Jason Orley recently described the new Peacock comedy series to Variety. Written, produced and starring Davidson, “Bupkis” immerses audiences into a “surrealist” adaptation of Davidson’s life with the help of a star-studded call sheet, including Joe Pesci, Brad Garrett, John Mulaney, Sebastian Stan, Ray Romano and more. “Bupkis” opens with a caricature of the celebrity as he takes a moment to “unwind” in the basement of his family home. Davidson throws on a pair of VR goggles, presses play on an immersive pornographic video and in a moment of pleasure — and soon-to-be distress — his mother, played by Edie Falco, walks in as he reaches his climax.
Orley acknowledges how the opening sequence tests the audience to see if they’re ready for whatever Davidson is about to throw their way. “You would want to get the audience situated before that and make sure they’re comfortable before you start doing that. But we’re like ‘Nope, if you’re still with us? Then you’re with us for anything.’” Orley wanted that sequence to become “[‘Bupkis”] most matter-of-fact moment,” with the intention of creating a joke that thrives within the series’ “most boring and quiet moment.” While the comedic tone aligned with Davidson’s reputation, Orley was slightly apprehensive to throw these acclaimed actors into the season’s raunchiest moments; yet Orley notes, it was their prestigious personas that elevated the absurdity of each situation. Given Peacock initially bought “Bupkis” with the X-rated scene attached, Orley knew he needed to embrace Davidson’s X-rated
