Mike dives deeper into life on the set of Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, this time turning his lens on the cast. From Coppola’s fiery love/hate dynamic with Shia LaBeouf, to unexpected moments of connection with Aubrey Plaza, to the quiet mystery of Adam Driver, Mike shares candid stories of how these larger-than-life personalities collide. Together, they reveal how Coppola’s unruly ensemble fuels the director’s anarchic vision.
Writer Josh Karp joins Mike him once again.
