#229 – The Babadook | Directed by Jennifer Kent (with Mama D of Petals of Support)

Tune in as Mama D (Petals of Support) returns to the program for a breakdown of The Babadook, the 2014 horror movie about the supernatural terror that a widowed single mother and her six-year-old son contend with after reading a children’s pop-up book about a top hat-wearing monster. Reading Samuel as autistic, the burdens of motherhood, children preventing their parents from getting a restful sleep, and the thematic connections between The Babadook and “The Murmuring” from Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities make up some of the talking points for this episode.

Written and directed by Jennifer Kent, The Babadook stars Essie Davis, Noah Wiseman, Hayley McElhinney, Daniel Henshall, Barbara West, Ben Winspear, Cathy Adamek, Craig Behenna, Hachi, Tim Purcell, and Chloe Hurn.

Spoilers start at 28:50
