In our latest episode, regular hosts Haitch and Jason are joined by digital set designer, Tim Croshaw. We discuss the *definitive* big budget serious sci-fi masterpiece from 2020: no, not Denis’ Dune, Nolan’s TENET. We cover international film finance, how much it costs to rent a 300’ yacht, and try to sort out the grandfather paradox.
