Reply to comment by WorldlyCaregiver in Steven Spielberg apologises to sharks for Jaws by GrievousInflux
Speaking of R34. In a recent NPR interview the host asked Spielberg if he was aware of the porn parody "Shaving Ryan's Privates". Struck me as an odd question coming from an NPR show.
Found it in the transcript:
GROSS: I've saved this question for the end because it's a very, very important question - very profound, if I might brag. So are you aware, and I assume you may be, that a lot of porn films satirize the titles of real films or satirize the films themselves. And when John Waters was on our show - this was an interview years ago - he said his favorite was "Shaving Ryan's Privates." And there's actually not only a porn film named that, there's a documentary about porn films that satirize real films, and that film, that documentary is titled "Shaving Ryan's Privates." Did you know about that?
SPIELBERG: No (laughter). Not until this very moment. Wow.
GROSS: I told you it was profound.
SPIELBERG: Well, you know, a lot of my films have had, you know, funny and sometimes a little bit of antisemitic uses of the title. So I just never heard that one before.
