Writers Todd Bartels and Lou Howe join us to explore the ingredients that went into bringing Anthony Bourdain's story to the screen in TONY.

Producers David Heyman and Shannon McIntosh take us through the wild world of working with Quentin Tarentino on Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.

Heyman and McIntosh reflect on the rush to get the film to Cannes in time, the necessity to have physical film prints delivered in order to make the deadline, and the success that followed.
