In a key scene in last night's episode of 'Hung,' Ray tries to transcend the thoughtless-jock image his kids have of him by taking them to see a movie that "interesting" people would like, and he lets poet/pimp Tanya pick the movie and come along. Big mistake, since the movie ends up being some weird Russian silent art film. Neither Ray nor his teen twins seem to realize that Tanya (and the writers of 'Hung') have tried to expose them to a monumental classic in the history of cinema.

Though no one mentions it, it's clear from the scene they watch that the film is Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 masterpiece 'Battleship Potemkin,' one of the most important and influential films in movie history. It's one of the most famous as well; the sequence of the massacre on the Odessa steps (complete with runaway baby carriage) is so iconic that it's been copied all over the place, from 'The Untouchables' to 'The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult' to 'Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith' to last year's 'Inglourious Basterds.'

Going in, everyone in the crowd had to know that the panel for HBO's Hung was going to consist of puns and schoolyard humor. After all, it's a show about a down-and-out guy who uses his best asset -- his manhood -- and becomes a male prostitute. So it shouldn't have been a big surprise when a reporter started the questioning by asking whether the show continues a trend of shows about "ordinary working stiffs with a secret."

It went pretty much downhill from there, aided and abetted by the show's stars, Thomas Jane and Jane Adams.

Jane, on his audition process: "I had to go into the other room to disrobe, so I wouldn't hit anyone in the eye. It's for safety."

Adams told a critic that it was interesting he was making so many penis puns "While you're holding that mike."

Co-creator Colette Burson got into the act, calling the member of Jane's character of Ray Drecker as "The Platonic Penis. It's the ideal penis on a certain level."

(S01E07) Guns. Money. Blackmail. Threats. We knew that when the Malloys made their way back to the Traveler village for Earl's funeral that there'd be trouble. But little did we know that there'd be so much of it.

What's amazing about this episode was that, with everything going on, viewers were pretty easily able to keep track of the various machinations. The cost was a decided lack of heart-palpitating tension. I really expected, with the Malloys re-entering the fold for the first time since Wayne stole the family money and buggered off with his family, that we'd be seeing more action.

But The Riches isn't about action. It's about relationships. And, boy, did we find out a lot about those relationships tonight.
