After a brief hiatus, we are back with an incredibly EPIC episode. Matthew Law, Quincy Isaiah, and Tre Hale (as well as our very own Jonnie Park) from Netflix’s NEMESIS join us to talk about method acting, getting made into Lego characters, the Mt. Rushmore of plus-size models, and what it was like working with the creators of POWER. 

Plus, digging deeper into the filming of NEMESIS, prepping for an intense TV show with on-screen violence, and bumping music on set.
