How Kayvan Novak’s Dad Helped Shape Nandor’s Big WWDITS Episode


“It’s worth fighting for a good koobideh.”

What We Do in the Shadows ’s Nandor the Relentless has historically had no trouble telling his familiar, bodyguard, fellow bloodsucker (if only briefly), and fandom ship-partner Guillermo de la Cruz what to do. The episode hinges on Novak’s ability to sell Nandor’s transformation from seemingly addled while lecturing a warehouse full of mannequins, to roguishly determined when commanding his followers to set Dartmouth University on fire. In this episode we hear Nandor call into a radio show to request Simon and Garfunkel’s “Scarborough Fair,” and he also plays JoJo’s “Leave (Get Out)” to dismiss Guillermo.
