Episode Details

Canadian-Serbian actress Nina Kiri is best known for playing Alma in The Handmaid's Tale, but her latest role leads Undertone, an A24 horror film built almost entirely on sound design. She plays the co-host of a paranormal podcast who receives disturbing recordings from a pregnant couple, while caring for her comatose mother in a single house setting. Made for $500,000, the film has grossed $20 million worldwide. Kiri joins Culture 101 to discuss how she got into horror, her Serbian heritage, and reading the script alone in her apartment on a Friday night.
