There was a 10 minute sequence in the middle of the episode where Kendall Roman and Chip take turns saying goodbye to their dad or their husband. "It felt like every time that you cut away from the character, I'll kind of jump forward in time," said director Mark O'Mara. The camera had to be sadistic, really, it had to be unflinching and just keep looking at the pain.
Today, after Kara and Nayeema discuss what the Dominion defamation lawsuit might mean for Rupert Murdoch and News Corp, we turn to a fictional media story of Logan Roy and HBO’s Succession. Our guests are Brian Cox, series creator Jesse Armstrong and director Mark Mylod. SPOILER ALERT: there are lots of spoilers in this episode, starting at about 10 mins in so go watch the show first.
