  • Bite sized movie fun

    I’m not the biggest podcast person due to the length of the episodes, however, Leigh & Tim’s short episode lengths and to the point and direct (and also light and humorous) approach to talking about movies is very much up my alley. They’re both really nice people too. A nice and easy listen, it feels like you’re just talking with a friend after seeing a movie.

Inside Primetime: Ajon Singh on Skyler Gisondo and subverting nostalgia
Q: What was the original ending?
The original cut ended with Chris Hansen's line, “What would have happened if I wasn't here?” Singh and Lance Oppenheim thought the ending felt hopeless to test audiences, so Singh wrote a new scene around Dan receiving a SAG card and reconsidering his acting dream.
Inside Primetime: Ajon Singh on Skyler Gisondo and subverting nostalgia
Q: Why did you feel so strongly about investing in this story?
Singh grew up watching To Catch a Predator and believed the show had a large cultural impact. He was especially interested in how entertainment and law enforcement became intertwined, and in the story's decoy character.
Clayface: layered, brutal and brilliant
Q: Were you surprised at how deep this movie ultimately got from a character perspective?
Gironda was surprised by the film's emotional depth, describing it as a love story blended with horror. He said the romance is understated and enriches the story without overpowering it.
Clayface: layered, brutal and brilliant
Q: What did you know about Clayface before this film in terms of like, how familiar were you with this character and their world?
Gironda knew Clayface as a Batman villain and recognized his appearance, but had little knowledge of the character's backstory. He found the film more enjoyable because he came in without many expectations.
Clayface director James Watkins says it will “rattle you”
Q: What was an important layer to the world of this film that you wanted to get right?
Watkins wanted Gotham to feel real and heavy. The production filmed in Liverpool, used vintage Panavision lenses, and drew on 1970s New York street photography to create a corrupt city with a distinctive, gritty atmosphere.
