Welcome to Ain't Dey Beauts! Every week, Jack Read and his guests discuss a different filmmaker and their first feature — how it was made, how it fits into their life and career up to this point, and how it stands on its own.
On our debut, we're joined by Simon Kiser to discuss Jennifer Kent and her 2014 horror beaut, The Babadook. We talk about child actors, dirt, Wallace Shawn, taking care of monsters, and getting murdered by Rebecca Ferguson - among other things.
Follow the show on Twitter @beautspod and on Letterboxd. Follow Simon on Twitter @SimonKiser and slide into those DMs if you're interested in hiring him to run your RPG campaign. You can also visit him at Hex & Co. in New York, a cafe offering hundreds of board and card games, coffee, draft beer, breakfast and light eats. Hex & Co. are following tight safety procedures during COVID-19!
Our highlighted charity this week is The Okra Project, an American grassroots mutual aid collective that provides support to Black trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people. Support The Okra Project today!
