The cast of Shiva Baby on the film's relatable horrors, girlbosses

If at times Shiva Baby plays like a horror movie, well, that’s by design. Emma Seligman’s hilariously stressful cringe comedy draws from one of our most universal fears: Being stuck in a room with relatives you barely know. It’s a fear Shiva Baby stars Rachel Sennott (Call Your Mother), Molly Gordon (Booksmart), and Dianna Agron (Glee) know well, having endured years of family events with awkward questions, unfair expectations, and lots and lots of food. In the video above, The A.V. Club speaks to the actors about the memories that fueled their performances and the days spent filming in the Brooklyn summer heat that made the sweaty tension of Shiva Baby feel palpable. The trio also praises their game-for-anything co-stars-including veteran character actors Fred Melamed and Polly Draper-and Sennott discusses the complexities of “girlboss” feminism.

They hate to see a girlboss winning

EN EFECTO, MANA

[@KnarfStein]

Depends on the person and their profession. If the girlboss is the head of a Christofascist organisation, then they can go hang.

Unless you think shattering the gender glass ceiling or whatever is more important than implementing theocratic authoritarianism. In which case, to each their own! ☺️👍

4:35 The trailer is definitely a neurotic nightmare in the best film scene, LOL, but what sealed the deal for me watching the film is the mega MILF vision that is Polly Draper!

I'm not Jewish, but I had a lot of Jewish friends in college in the 60s. Most of them were from New York or New Jersey. 😂 THANK GOD having dinner with them was not like this hilarious movie!😅

Girl bosses? I mean there's a lot of examples of girl bosses and I think the characters of this movie are definitely not that. One is selling her body. The other is obsessed with the one selling her body. And the other has a husband who uses her money to pay for the girl's body. Where do you see boss in all that? In real life i would let the girl with the husband boss me around and do whatever she wants to me and I'd say thank you but the character she's playing is not a girl boss.

@@RaRa-vf3zx you can't say anything smart? You're answering so you're giving me your time. You're already wasting it. Trying to look smart always ends up making you look dumber than you'd normally look. How pathetic.
