    Apr 26 2024
    This week, Krista takes a look back at her conversation with Keri Russell. A the time, Russell had wrapped up work on season 1 of The Diplomat. Russell's performance as the career diplomat Kate Wyler would go on to earn her numerous accolades, including an Emmy and a Golden Globe nomination. In this episode, Russell explains why she immediately said yes to the part despite the logistical challenges it would require, digs into what she loves about Kate's incredibly nuanced character, and describes what it was like simultaneously working as an executive producer on the series. She also shares her 11-year-old daughter's hot take on her beloved series Felicity, discusses her long-standing creative relationship with J.J. Abrams, and recounts a few memorable times when fans recognized her on the street. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.

  • Zack Snyder
    Apr 19 2024
    Krista takes a deep dive into the career of filmmaker Zack Snyder and shares how that journey led to his latest undertaking, Rebel Moon - Part 2: The Scargiver. This second film in the Rebel Moon franchise continues to expand the sci-fi universe that was introduced to audiences with Rebel Moon - Part 1: A Child of Fire. The pair talk about Snyder's life-long love of photography, examine the films that inspired him growing up, and discuss his experience attending ArtCenter College of Design, in Pasadena, California (where the idea behind Rebel Moon first started to form). Snyder also digs into the unique logistical challenges that Rebel Moon - Part 1 and Rebel Moon - Part 2 presented, explains what it was like to direct Sofia Boutella through the films' epic action sequences, and shares what he loves about collaborating with his wife (and Rebel Moon's producer) Deborah Snyder.
