Greg Barker - BONUS Throwback Interview!
On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 263 from May 2020 with Greg Barker about moving from career in documentaries to making his first narrative feature for Netflix. I thought this was a good pairing for Stefon because both their first narrative features were produced by Netflix, under very different circumstances and in different points in their careers. After that we play another round of The Game, enjoy!
