Episode Details

The “Euphoria” creator talks about writing his new Netflix film around Zendaya’s persona and talents, throwing away the first two days of shooting, lacking confidence on set, finding the right needle drops, making the special “Euphoria” episodes, being aware of the audience’s (and his own) attention span, and severely restricting the number shots, angles, and lenses he uses. We also address (at the beginning and end of the podcast) Malcolm’s (John David Washington) attacks on film critics in the film, which Sam believes is being misconstrued and I believe is problematic.
