    142: Watchmen, 300, Super 8 etc. w/ Larry Fong, ASC

    142: Watchmen, 300, Super 8 etc. w/ Larry Fong, ASC

    Today I'm thrilled to welcome my good friend Larry Fong, ASC to the pod to talk about his incredible body of work but almost more importantly, our shared love of the art of Magic. Not only is Larry in the ASC but he's also a member of the Academy of Magical Arts right across the street from the ASC clubhouse at the Magic Castle, a two-fer that I consider to be the home run of creative memberships.

    In this episode we talk about many of Larry's films, but an abbreviated list of his phenomenal work includes movies like 300, Watchmen, Super 8, The Tomorrow War, Kong: Skull Island, Batman v Superman, The Predator, and recently the Netflix film "Damsel".
