Two episodes for the price of one today! (The price is zero dollars).

First up, Ben Nedivi & Matt Wolpert (creators/ahowrunners, For All Mankind) discuss season 4 of their alternate history space-race series, trusting their decisions, addressing and adjusting tone, killing off characters, and more.

Then, Brian Helgeland (LA Confidential, Mystic River, lots more) discusses his new movie Finestkind--written 25 years ago--as well as some of his greatest hits, including the unlikely story of LA Confidential getting made and the sequel that he couldn't get off the ground, the spark that led to A Knight's Tale, getting his start in horror, and more.
