Two things are always true onRiverdale: Everyone is hot, and everyone fucks.
And the abs, oh, the abs!
All of which leftBeaverdalewriter and director April ONeil in an unusual artistic predicament.
How do you make a porn parody out of a show thats already a porn parody of itself?
Have you read the newRiverdalecomics?
The comic takes these characters weve grown up with and essentially perverts them.
The Cheryl-Jason incest is insane!
Itissort of like a porn parody, following the wholeRule 34 thing.
We didnt even know it was going to be calledBeaverdale.
[The producers] changed that on us last-minute.
It was just going to be XXX Archie Parodyor something.
Much like the writers ofRiverdale, ONeil was keenly attuned to the libidinous undercurrents that motivated the original comics.
In the year of our lord 2019?
but forBeaverdale,ONeil got back to those very basics.
I tried to play off that competition between them.
It made sense for them to have a threesome with Archie.
I could never pick between Betty and Veronica, ONeil confesses.
I see Archie torn between them and Im like,I get it, Archie!
Similarly potent premises formed the foundation forBeaverdales other two scenes.
If conceiving the film came naturally to ONeil, realizing her vision was another story.
Once we put it on him, it was obviously too short.
Half the fucking scene, I was just trying to tuck his hair back in.
Whatre you gonna do?
Production hiccups notwithstanding, ONeil looks back onBeaverdaleas work she can be proud of.
Im always on the subreddit, ONeil says.
Everyones like, This is an insane shitshow!
And thats why we fucking love it!
Betty and Veronica, for example, arent just a blonde and a brunette.
Theyre classic manifestations of blonde-ness and brunette-ness.
We want to keep enough in to show that were playing with its characters and ideas and styles.
In this respect, the squeaky-clean, all-AmericanArchiehas always been waiting for the porn treatment.
Riverdaleposits a Hot Archie Who Fucks as a internet-friendly, softer alternative to the softest of softcore.
Her film isnt just pornographic for depicting unsimulated penetration, though theres certainly plenty of that.
between its passionate yet relatively tame sex scenes.Beaverdaledoesnt bother with the pretense.
It knows what you want, and it wants to give it to you.
People want the opposite of what theyve already got; thats the nature of wanting.
Who fantasizes about their own life?
