Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview with Paul Raschid
Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
He humorously jokes about a power to make any unhealthy food healthy (or vice versa), framing it as a light, relatable way to end the conversation and reveal personal interests.
Interview with Paul Raschid
Q: And what's going to be next for you?
Paul talks about The Run, another interactive film coming later in the year, and confirms Hello Stranger's May Steam release window, along with a plan to explore more traditional, linear formats in the future.
Interview with Paul Raschid
Q: So specifically about Hello Stranger then, what drew you to this project and the interactive format?
He describes the project's origins after White Chamber, the Bandersnatch-era influence, and the appeal of nonlinear storytelling and gaming mechanics that invite audience participation.
Interview with Paul Raschid
Q: So a bit of background on yourself. What made you get into directing?
Paul explains his journey from acting and theater to filmmaking, growing up around cinema, and how early exposure to sets and independent productions shaped his path into directing and storytelling.
Andor Season 2 (297)
Q: What makes Andor Season 2 feel different from Season 1?
The panel argues that Season 2 accelerates through years of events in four arcs, emphasizes a Weimar-era political atmosphere, and concentrates on the consequences and costs of rebellion, not just its victories. It also features a tonal shift toward darker, more mature storytelling while keeping moments of Star Wars-appropriate humor and visual innovation.
