Sex, 'Cocaine Bear,' and 'You'

On the Netflix series You, people are — yes, getting murdered — but also keeping on a lot more of their clothes. That's partly because of star Penn Badgley's request to participate in fewer intimate scenes out of respect to his marriage. His comments have sparked a viral conversation about the state of sex on screen. Sam chats with Vulture recapper Jessica Goldstein about the trending down of intimate scenes and where all the good sex has gone. We also ask Cocaine Bear screenwriter Jimmy Warden about potential sequel ideas and what famous bears he's into. And we hear about the culture that's haunting us: Sam Hunt's "House Party" is the soundtrack to the Atlanta BeltLine... and our lives, apparently. Send us your culturegeist. What specific thing in the culture has haunted you for days, weeks, or even years? And why? Send us a short voice memo at [email protected]. Learn more about your ad choices.
