Episode 449: Casper Kelly Interview | BUDDY: Nostalgia, Childhood Propaganda & Why We Crave Safe Stories
from ScreenFish · host ScreenFish
In this ScreenFish 1on1 Interview, director Casper Kelly discusses BUDDY, exploring the influence of Grimm’s Fairy Tales and the ways children’s entertainment can carry elements of propaganda beneath its comforting surface. He reflects on the film’s distinctive set design and his decision to undermine the familiar television worlds that once made audiences feel safe. Kelly also considers the darker side of nostalgia, asking whether our desire to idealize the past can distort memory and prevent us from seeing it clearly. BUDDY is available in theatres on Friday, August 28th, 2026. #buddy #horror #casperkelly #toomanycooks #movie #film #interview #podcast #filmtok #fyp @MongrelMedia
