Episode Notes

"Chernobyl" Creator Craig Mazin on Bringing the Story of a Real-Life Disaster to HBO

Sean, Jake, and (eventually) Kevin are back together, and ready to get into all the latest movies (and some TV) that's made up their week. Dark Phoenix bombed at the box office and Jason Reitman revealed some pretty big details about the direction of his upcoming Ghostbusters movie. We welcome Tye Sheridan back on the show for the rest of our Dark Phoenix discussion not included last week. He dives into some massive spoilers about how the ending of the film was changed, and how the original plot was more closely tied to Captain Marvel (crazy, I know).

Joining us this week for an amazing discussion on his hit limited series, Chernobyl, is creator and writer Craig Mazin. He clues us into some of the amazing work done behind-the-scenes to create a deep and engrossing setting, the small details at play that can have a huge effect on the story's reception, and so much more. Craig was an absolute delight, and clearly put his heart, soul and all his amazing talent into this series. You won't want to miss it, or this interview!
