The bite heard ’round the world.

In this episode, Ariel and Morgan take on one of the most infamous (and crazily campy) scenes in horror-comedy history: the gynecologist sequence from Teeth (2007).

From questionable medical protocol to perfect camp choreography, they break down what works, what really doesn’t, and why this movie about vagina dentata still manages to make audiences clench 17 years later.

They tackle it all:

• How Teeth flips the horror trope of sexual violence on its head (and bites back)
• Why good choreography and body awareness make this scene disturbingly effective
• The line between tension, comedy, and terror
• What intimacy coordination could’ve looked like for a scene this outrageous
• And yes—whether it technically counts as an intimacy scene (spoiler: it does)

Somehow, amidst the severed fingers and social commentary, there’s genuine insight into consent, choreography, and why horror movies might secretly “get” intimacy better than most rom-coms!

Get ready for one of our most asked—and most controversial—questions: Do actors ever actually have sex on camera? In this episode, we're diving deep into the blurred lines between filmmaking and pornography.

Ariel surprises Morgan with a deep dive into the notoriously heated and hard-to-find 2005 film, Lie with Me, a movie that famously plays with this very question. We break down the difference between softcore, hardcore, and simulated sex scenes, and ask: does it have to be real to feel real? Can simulated sex be more artistic—or even more erotic—than the real thing?

We tackle the big questions:

• What's the practical difference between a simulated sex scene and a pornographic one?
• How would an intimacy coordinator even approach a scene that calls for real sex?
• What does Lie with Me achieve by pushing the boundary, and at what cost?
• Where do we, as professionals, draw the line between artistic expression and exploitation?

This is a must-listen for anyone curious about the raw, unvarnished mechanics of on-screen intimacy. Spoiler alert: the answers are far from black and white.

Ariel & Morgan, two professional intimacy coordinators, pull back the curtain on how intimacy is really made for film and TV.

In our very first episode, we kick things off with wild on-set stories (yes, one involves a horse 🐴 - don't worry, it's fake), break down what it really means to choreograph intimacy, and tackle the infamous simulated sex scene from the cult classic, The Room.

We give Tommy Wiseau's awkward sequence a beat-by-beat analysis, rate it on our "Spice Scale," and explain what could have made it work. Get the inside scoop on why intimacy coordinators are a crucial—and often misunderstood—part of the film industry.

You’ll hear:

• Hilarious and cringe-worthy stories from our time on set.
• A professional breakdown of one of cinema’s most bizarre sex scenes.
• Why intimacy coordination matters for actors and storytelling.

Love cult films, bad movies, or a hilarious insider's look at Hollywood? You’re in the right place.
