S23 - Ep 7 - JAG - Assistant Directing
For today’s conversation, Assistant Directors Robert Scott and Kevin Koster reminisce about their time on “JAG”, the long-running legal drama that aired 10 seasons from 1995 to 2005. Robert was there for Season 1, which aired on NBC, and Kevin joined the AD team for Season 2, when CBS picked up the show. Both ADs were there at the end, and have stories to share about the various studios that hosted production, how the show’s relationship with the military evolved over the years, and the overlapping seasons when the “NCIS” spinoff was waxing ascendant. Also some namedropping and a lot of laughs along the way.

S23 - Ep 6 - The Sticky - Score Composition
Amazon Prime’s “The Sticky” is a clever bit of storytelling: the tale, inspired by the real-life heist of $18 million worth of maple syrup from Quebec’s national reserves, combines drama, suspense and comedy in equal parts. Helping knit together these disparate elements is the work of Score Composer FM Le Sieur, who joins us today to discuss his musical influences, his composing process and the specific inspirations for this very Canadian piece of work. Also happy to have fellow composer Louis Weeks join us as co-host, offering additional insights as we explore what makes the score for this six-episode series truly unique.

S23 - Ep 5 - The Bondsman - Costumes and Production Design
Kevin Bacon returns to the small screen with “The Bondsman”, and today we welcome back two veterans of the podcast, Production Designer Eve McCarney and Costume Designer Liz Vastola, to discuss the challenges of a show that’s balancing genre spectacle and family drama. Co-host Gianni Damaia has some good questions, but primarily he wants to know what it’s like working with Kevin Bacon (he has a “Tremors” image on his wall). All eight episodes of the first season are currently available on Prime.
