In my final episode, I chat with Keith Campbell (stunts) and Craig “Tex” Barnett (Special Efx), about how they are able to create some of the most chaotic and eye-popping sequences from their work on Adam Sandler’s most recent movie “Spaceman of Bohemia” to “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Transformers.

Fun and authentic filmmakers

I love how this series is really true and authentic to the guests. There is no pretentiousness, just casual, fun, conversational.
