It's finally happening, we're actually going to talk about opening credits on OPENING CREDITS®.
So, if you're one of the few people who have been sorely disappointed that this podcast isn't actually about title sequences, today's your lucky day! We're joined in this episode by William Lebeda, Creative Director at Picturemill, the studio behind some of the most memorable movie and tv show intros, including ‘Panic Room,’ ‘Sonic the Hedgehog,’ and ‘Transformers One.’
William, alongside Executive Producer David Midgen, talks us through the process of making the iconic opening credits for 'Succession', and how it was more hands-on than you might think. He also gives his honest opinion on the controversial 'Skip Intro' button (which is changing the game for title design) and tells us about his dream day on set working with everyone's favourite fuzzy friends, The Muppets.

Don't listen with your parents, this week is all about sex (scene) education.
David Thackeray was one of the first ever Intimacy Coordinators; a relatively new role in filmmaking introduced to help the cast and crew tackle (whoops) those more delicate scenes.
He’s also one of the most in demand, having worked on ‘The Crown,’ ‘Heartstopper,’ and ‘Sex Education.’
In this episode, David tells us what his job actually involves (and more importantly, what it doesn’t), how he gets past the awkwardness, and his techniques for making a film set a more comfortable and supportive place for everyone.
Meanwhile, Laura gives her verdict on the newly-released ‘Paddington in Peru’, and we share some of your guilty pleasures and hidden treasures!

We're heading Stateside this week, but don't worry, we're talking movies, not politics.
We're joined in this episode by not one, but two guests; Jeremy Lasky and Danny Gonzalez, Co-Founders of Perception, an Emmy-nominated design and visual effects studio based in New Jersey, USA.
If you've ever seen a superhero movie, chances are you've seen their work in the interfaces, heads-up-displays and holograms of the MCU. From Tony Stark's J.A.R.V.I.S. in 'Iron Man 2,' to the futuristic lab in 'Black Panther,' these guys are in the business of designing screens for the big screen.
Jeremy and Danny tell us what it's like to work with Marvel, how they use science-fiction to inspire science-fact, and what they think real world AI has in store for the future of filmmaking.

She also addresses her critics by giving us a lesson in real period make up (oil and soot eyebrows, anyone?) and explains why she always prioritises character and story over historical accuracy.

We may have peaked... we have our first Director on the show this week! Georgi Banks-Davies joins us to talk about the modern-day Greek mythology that is 'KAOS' on Netflix - "Blessed Olympia!"
Forget what you think you know about what a Director does, Georgi is here to bust some myths of her own and tell us what the job really involves, and whether you even need to direct the God himself, Jeff Goldblum.
From the world of commercials and Sundance-listed short films, to starting a creative partnership with Billie Piper on 'I Hate Suzie,' Georgi shares how her rule-breaking style led to her creating the heavenly and hellish worlds of 'KAOS.'
