Does the name Russ Meyer ring a bell? Decorated World War II cameraman, nude photographer, controversial screenwriter, celebrated satirist, all good stuff…but to a majority of America he’ll always be known as the Godfather of the modern sex flick! And to help celebrate a true Playboy legend, we’re airing five of his most famous films this March on Playboy TV!

Born nearly 90 years ago, Mr. Meyer and Playboy have had a long and storied relationship. Going all the way back to the 1950’s and the infancy of the bunny brand, his photography work with Hef helped launch the magazine. Over the years he shot dozens of nude centerfolds (including one of his own wife!), but that was only the beginning.

In case you haven't noticed, Playboy TV loves reality! No not the lame "trap over-the-hill ugly people on an island" type reality, we love sex-crazed adventures, hot stripper drama, and gorgeous bodies plucked from cities across America. That's what this network was built upon and we're proud to carry on the tradition with a new production guaranteed to make even more naked dreams come true. This month, we're officially kicking off the search for PLAYBOY SHOOTOUT, a hot new reality experiment reaching across all Playboy! For guys, it's a chance to live out your ultimate fantasy...as a real Playboy nude photographer! Imagine getting ahold of Hef's first class film equipment and capturing imagery of gorgeous girls for our magazine and website! For girls it's a shot at true bunny stardom.
