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.

Boots Riley joins The Rolling Stone Studio Live at SXSW to talk about I Love Boosters, his riotous new satire about a crew of Oakland retail thieves led by Keke Palmer and facing off against a fast-fashion mogul played by Demi Moore. In conversation with Rolling Stone film critic David Fear, Riley traces the film’s origins back to his long-running fascination with “boosters,” and explains how his filmmaking extends the same political and cultural instincts behind his music with The Coup. He also breaks down why Palmer is, in his words, a “f**king national treasure,” and why he’s taking the film on the road to college campuses. Learn more about your ad choices.
