Hello and welcome! This show’s guests: the writer-director duo Scott Beck & Bryan Woods. You might know them from movies like A Quiet Place (2018) or The Boogeyman (2023). Today, however, they’re here to talk about their latest film, Heretic (2024), starring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, and Chloe East. In their honest conversation with hosts Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir, they discuss

• the challenges of directing Heretic
• working with Hugh Grant & A24
• how the edit can shape a movie
• the importance of test screenings
• celebrating mistakes
• and so much more!
