Part two of a two-part conversation with actor and producer Miranda Benjamin.

The episode begins with a newly recorded segment about a promotional video shoot that left Miranda with whiplash after she was asked to undertake multiple takes of a dangerous stunt - one that should have been carried out by a professional stunt performer - prompting a wider discussion about on-set safety and standing up for yourself as an actor.

The episode then returns to the second half of last week’s recording, as Miranda discusses her perspective on the cancellation of ‘Notion’ in 2022, the decision to pull ‘Blurred Lines’ out of its ashes and her disappointment that the film’s online release was overshadowed by criticism aimed at its director rather than being allowed to find its audience organically.

An honest conversation about creative perseverance, difficult shoots, learning lines, review bombing and the unpredictable nature of independent filmmaking.
