The close - cropped shots of (clothed) characters in the Centerfold series mimic the portrayal of (undressed) pin - ups in
nudie magazines — a topic that remains relevant to current conversations on gender.
These range from the sonar vision of the Sonic Eye, to the distracting power of a well - placed
nudie magazine.
In the opening scene, a car tears through a house interrupting a kid's celebration of stealing
a nudie magazine from his father's stash.
