    Tommy Wiseau

    The one and only Tommy Wiseau sits down with us to talk life after 'The Disaster Artist', 'The Room' on Broadway, his love of architecture, 'Ocean's 11', and his plans for a horror movie about using 8% of your brain (?), in certainly our most directionless conversation yet. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    #32: Peep Show and Succession creator Jesse Armstrong

    Chris talks to the man behind Peep Show and In The Loop about his major new HBO show Succession, which centres on a Murdoch-esque family ruling the American media. The pair explore how writers' rooms work, what a showrunner actually does, getting your head around complex business jargon for a script, the 'toilet paper draft' and the future of liberalism in the face of Trump.

    #31: Brian Tyree Henry is the heir apparent to James Gandolfini

    Atlanta's Brian Tyree Henry just earned an Emmy nomination for his work on Atlanta and is tapped to work with Steve McQueen and Joe Wright on upcoming films. He sits down with Chris to discuss the stage and screen actor's similar acting style to James Gandolfini, how Atlanta season 2's standalone episode format was kinda scary for the cast, the show's silent moments, patient plot advancement, and how it doesn't try to hammer you over the head with a message.

    #30: The shaming of Mark Duplass

    Indie film pioneer Mark Duplass has been forced to issue an apology for recommending a podcast to his followers. We look at how internet mob mentality can seemingly elicit a mea culpa from anyone for just about anything, how there is now no room in Hollywood for dissent, and where all of this might be headed.

    #29: Is Westworld exquisitely intricate or just convoluted?

    Westworld, the heir apparent to Game of Thrones, is back on HBO for a second season, but is it a sophisticated puzzle of a show or just an overly-complicated scramble of information?

    #27: Chris finishes his first film + why do acting Oscars keep going to biopic roles?

    In something of a meta pod, the Kernels team review and discuss host Christopher Hooton's just-completed first feature film, Meniscus. Jacob Stolworthy and Jack Shepherd give their thoughts on the experimental format drama and find out how Chris and his co-director, David Rapson (also on the pod), turned it around on next to no budget. Later, the guys talk The Lost Boys podcast and, ahead of the Oscars, question whether dishing out awards to actors playing historical figures is justified and if we're confusing impressions with good acting.

    #26: Right nominees, wrong winners? Who'll win the 2018 Oscars and who should

    The Oscar nominations are out and for once there's barely a ripple of outrage - the list is good and we can broadly say that the right films, actors, directors and crew members have been picked. The same might not be true with the winners however, with several obvious picks the favourites to win, overlooking some sensational cinema that came out in 2017. Taking up a bunch of categories, Christopher Hooton looks at who will win and who should with colleagues Jack Shepherd and Jacob Stolworthy. Hosted on Acast.
