So, you know, there's a sex scene montage in Poor Things that I wanted to talk to you about. Like, you've done sex scenes before, but this is sex played for comedy. Like, it's not supposed to be sexy.

So in 2012, there were just a lot of superhero movies out there and a lot of really good actors were being swept up in them, particularly Robert Downey Jr. playing Iron Man.
