The brilliant filmmaker Richard Linklater (Boyhood) and the uber talented Glen Powell (Any One But You) joins us to chat about their brilliant comedy movie Hit Man!
Richard Linklater and Glen Powell discuss how the movie came about. Why they wrote it together on spec and how they made it with Giles Alderson & Dom Lenoir.
From his debut feature "It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books" – a film he made with almost no budget, Richard Linklater kick started his career. Shot on Super 8, and literally drove around the country screening himself – He made the cult classic "Dazed and Confused," the romantic trilogy "Before Sunrise," "Before Sunset," and "Before Midnight," the animated rotoscope experiments of "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly," and the groundbreaking, 12-years-in-the-making "Boyhood," Linklater has consistently defied expectations and carved
his own path with a signature style that's both intimate and epic.
From his breakout role in "Scream Queens" to his
scene-stealing performance as Chad Radwell in "Everybody Wants Some!!" – Richard Linklater's ode to college life in the 80s – Glen Powell has been steadily building an impressive resume. He's charmed audiences in rom-coms like "Set It Up," and "Anyone But You" showcased his dramatic chops in the true-life war epic "Devotion," and, of course, soared to new heights as the cocky but ultimately heroic Hangman in "Top Gun: Maverick and very recently blew us away in the brilliant 'Twisters'.
Hit Man is out now on NETFLIX!

We welcome onto today's show Bella Gonzales, an accomplished director of photography whose remarkable work spans across several prestigious series.
Bella is known for her exceptional contributions to episodic series such as FX's
Fargo, Apple TV+'s The Big Door Prize, and Hulu's PEN15.
Her unique vision and technical prowess have made her a standout talent in the industry, and her recent projects are a testament to her skill and creativity.
On the show, Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir chat with Bella about:
What lenses she uses, camera angles and working with different directors.
She talks about what light means to story and why should pick your battles in prep and on set.
We also dive into blocking, floor plans and not coming from a world of 'no'.
We talk Alien, the new TV show she has just finished working on and what is like being part of history and we dive deep into the making of Fargo.
For the new Apple TV+ series, Me, Bella was the sole director of photography for the pilot and all 10 episodes of this series, working closely with director Michael Dowse. Her role allowed her to set the show's visual tone, treating it with the care and precision of a feature film.
For Fargo Bella also previously worked on season 5 of Fargo, where she built on her previous contributions to the series and her work and relationship with showrunner, Noah Hawley. She lensed episodes 3&4 of the new series which is out now on Apple TV+ and stars Juno Temple and Jon Hamm.
