In “Babes,” Neon’s raucous comedy about the intricate emotional threads that are tested when best friends become new mothers, there’s a particularly rousing scene where Eden (Ilana Glazer) and Dawn (Michelle Buteau) lose their minds on mushrooms. In need of a night away from their troubles, the lifelong pals hole up in Eden’s Queens apartment to let loose a little — Ok, to let loose a lot — and it’s up to director Pamela Adlon to capture it all.
“So it’s 2:30 in the morning and they’re screaming,” Adlon said. “Michelle’s like, ‘Fuck yeah!’ Milk is squirting out of her tits. People are just screaming. Then, all of a sudden, I hear another scream and I’m like, ‘That’s not them.’ And I turn around and there’s a woman from the building in the apartment going, ‘Shut the fuck up! It’s 2:30 in the morning!
