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!

New episodes drop every other Wednesday!
