Overview

• Badgley describes a season 3 fantasy sequence that focused on his face as Joe Goldberg, with his character meant to be with Love while imagining Marienne.
• He writes that a roughly 700‑pound camera apparatus prevented Victoria Pedretti from fitting in frame, so he simulated the action alone wearing a nude thong.
• He says the setup required him to look straight into the lens, a move he typically avoids, and he briefly thought the moment might become a meme.
• The actor recounts giggling on set as the crew joined in before they reset and he completed the take, crediting director Silver Tree for her considerate approach.
• The excerpt is part of Crushmore, co-written with Podcrushed cohosts Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari, as Badgley also revisits his past request to limit intimacy scenes in later seasons.
