The Pornographer (S01E02)

During the 1980s, Penthouse magazine reaches peak popularity, becoming a leading publication in America. After the controversial release of Bob Guccione's "Caligula," a Roman-themed adult film, the magazine encounters significant backlash from both religious conservatives and feminists. Undeterred in his quest to challenge norms, Guccione stirs further controversy by featuring nude images of Vanessa Williams, the first black Miss America. This bold move ignites a public uproar but simultaneously boosts the magazine's sales to new heights.
