Love Lies Bleeding: For the Love of Muscle

Ariel and Morgan flex on Love Lies Bleeding and its sweaty, obsessive romance between a gym manager and an ambitious bodybuilder. They dig into how the film fuses desire with muscle, violence, and steroid-fueled excess, and why its sex scenes feel as feral as they are tender. It’s a conversation about queer hunger, bodies as spectacle, and the messy love that A24’s neon-noir turns all the way up.
