The Square ft. Jon Millstein: "For Better or Worse, I'm Normal"

About this episode

This episode features an interview with Jon Millstein discussing the film The Square and various filmmaking topics.

This week, I'm joined by actor/writer/boss JON MILLSTEIN to break down the 2017 Ruben Östlund film THE SQUARE! We get into our humble hometowns, Jon's most inspirational and most feared filmmakers, and what we're calling "filmmaking of the body!" After dark, we get into Mad Men, Godzilla Minus One, After Hours, House of Yes, Our Home Out West, and Killer.
