Dicks are really having a moment right now. Chris Pontius’ member stomped all over the opening of “Jackass Forever,” Jason Mantzoukas voiced Sebastian Stan-as-Tommy-Lee’s member for “Pam & Tommy,” and now they’re practically members (har har) of the cast of the new HBO Max series “Minx.” Here’s the thing, though: While “Jackass” and “Pam” use their male genitalia to sort of shock and bewilder, “Minx” uses it to tantalize and to unify.

Minor spoilers, ahead. The series, starring and as and Tommy Lee, follows the ‘90s couple's tumultuous relationship and the highly publicized leak of their private sex tape.

Without even going into spoilers or knowing too much about the series, all it takes is one watch of the trailer for “Pam & Tommy” to know the Hulu series is going to be wild. Hell, the story on paper is almost too strange to believe.

Pam & Tommy as Tommy Lee’s penis.The actor, best known for roles in The League, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place and Big Mouth, will voice the former Mötley Crüe drummer’s penis in a scene during the second episode of the Hulu series.The scene, inspired by a passage in Lee’s memoir Tommyland, sees the musician (played by Sebastian Stan) engage in a “heart-to-heart talk” with his penis to discuss whether he’s falling in love after meeting Pamela Anderson (Lily James).Speaking to Variety about the scene, writer Robert D.

upcoming Hulu miniseries about Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s tumultuous, sex-fueled marriage would be scandalous, but they probably didn’t know it would be this outrageous.While the Lily James- and Sebastian Stan-fronted series “Pam & Tommy” won’t hit streaming screens until Feb. 2, the actors recently opened up about a particular scene in Episode 2 that will surely be NSFW.The pair spoke to Variety in a lengthy story about the eight-episode series and what viewers should expect.One sequence shows the Mötley Crüe drummer meeting Pamela and discussing with himself if he has actually fallen in love.He then has a pep talk with his genitalia.
