Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, and The Bacons: The Rolling Stone Studio Live at SXSW

About this episode

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick discuss their family's involvement in the film 'Family Movie' at SXSW.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick join The Rolling Stone Studio Live at SXSW alongside their kids, Sosie Bacon and Travis Bacon, to talk about turning their real-life family into the stars of Family Movie, a meta horror comedy about a family making a low-budget horror film. In conversation with David Fear, the Bacon clan unpacks the chaos and chemistry of collaborating across generations, why horror remains such a durable crowd-pleaser, and how the film became one of SXSW’s buzziest premieres. They also get candid about the surreal moments that come with mixing family and filmmaking – including what happens when your parents have to fake intimacy on camera.
