On this week's episode, we sit down with the visionary writer and director, Edgar Wright—the man who invented Baby Driver's musical choreography and perfected the genre-bending Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End).

Edgar discusses his philosophy of feature film writing, the meticulous craft of kinetic editing, and the process behind his latest, highly-anticipated action-thriller, The Running Man.

Dom Lenoir sits with Edgar over a hot chocolate and breaks down the bold decisions that define his career, this is a masterclass in visual storytelling and technical filmmaking.

If you are an aspiring filmmaker looking to inject rhythm, precision, and unique style into your projects, this episode is essential listening.

The Running Man is RELEASED in cinemas on 12th November.
