How The Righteous Gemstones pulled off a giddy, gruesome, emotionally devastating “mid-jack-off” altercation.
She’s fulfilling this image that she has for what a rock star does, but as with all things with Judy, it’s wrongheaded and weird,” Carcieri says. “This punk who plays the guitar, who is a muse to this artist, that’s how Judy probably sees Stephen. Whether he is that guy or not, that’s probably how Stephen sees himself as well.”
BJ losing the “mid-jack-off” altercation, as McBride describes it, wasn’t an issue for Baltz, whose character had, over two seasons, been tased, punched, and shot. What was more difficult to prepare for was BJ’s personality shift once he learns that Judy has cheated on him, and his turn toward brother-in-law Jesse for macho guidance that goes against his established nonviolence. “It’s something that poor, sweet BJ has not been subjected to until now,” Baltz says.
The production secured a house in Charleston’s Park Circle neighborhood in November, with a long hallway, as requested by Watson, so he could create the “horror movie walk” that BJ does through the house while listening to Kenny Rogers’s “Daytime Friends,” which Stephen considers his and Judy’s song. In their first of three walk-throughs, Watson and DeMeyers adapted the script to the home’s actual layout: “You have to reimagine the blocking.
Watson’s shot list was exceptionally detailed, with descriptions for each of the scene’s 50-plus frames. With a couple weeks before the December filming date, intimacy coordinator Zuri Pryor-Graves was on hand for Schneider’s comfort, and the prosthetics department crafted a penis for the masturbation shot and a set of testicles for when BJ grabs Stephen.
; it wasn’t superlong takes of 30 beats of choreography,” DeMeyers explains. “We’re gonna do a 20-second take of the acting, and then we’re gonna do two beats of action, and then we’re gonna cut.
