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.
