It’s a craft episode, with Craig and John discussing allies and allegiances in film and television. Enemies are easy; friends are difficult. We talk through the types relationships characters find themselves in, and strategies for making the most of them.
(This episode has a lot of Game of Thrones geekery, but very few spoilers.)
Also this week, we discuss geographic accuracy, release forms, and showing snippets of plays within movies.
