Haven’t had a chance yet to see Beau Is Afraid, Ari Aster’s three-hour descent into a very fragile male psyche? You may want to stop reading this paragraph right about now. You haveseen the movie? In that case, you’ll definitely want to read Matthew Jacobs on how Aster and prosthetics designer Steve Newburn conceived and constructed one of the film’s most unforgettable set pieces: a monstrous, 16-foot-tall sentient penis. Know, first of all, that Newburn responded much like the rest of us when he first learned about Aster’s creation. “I was going, Wait—what did I just read here? I remember writing down a note: ‘giant penis thing,’ with a big question mark. Then I reached out to Ari, like, ‘What’s your idea for this? Can you just doodle a little line drawing on a napkin? I can’t even imagine what this is supposed to mean.’”
Elsewhere in HWD, Katey Rich chats with Succession’s Dagmara Dominczyk about season four, episode five; actual VF writer Chris Murphy connects with fictional VF writer Lon O’Neil, a.k.a. Barry guest star Patrick Fischler; Anthony Breznican gets the lowdown on how Dead Ringers turned Rachel Weisz into twins; and Natalie Jarvey explains the sudden downfall of NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell.
