Joseph Kahn has directed some of the most iconic music videos of all time...Say My Name by Destiny’s Child, Everybody by the Backstreet Boys, Without Me by Eminem, Bad Blood by Taylor Swift…the list goes on. But he’s also a filmmaker who refuses to play it safe. His newest film, ICK, is a wild, splattery horror comedy that somehow feels both unhinged and deeply personal.
This week we sit down with Joseph to talk about his journey from shaping pop culture to using monsters as metaphors for modern apathy. They dig into the film’s messy tone, the real life frustrations that inspired it, and what he hopes people take away from it.
This one’s funny, sharp, and full of fake blood. Just how we like it sooo...
