On today's show, host Giles Alderson welcomes not one but two amazing guests: producer Meg Thomson and director Matt Brown. They're here to talk all about their latest indie feature film Freud's Last Session, starring Anthony Hopkins, Matthew Goode, and many other great actors. Giles sat down with Meg and Matt to chat about...

  • getting Anthony Hopkins on board

  • the producer-director-relationship
  • directing legends
  • shooting in a different location every day
  • the challenges of making an indie drama

    Freud invites iconic author C.S. Lewis to debate the existence of God. And his unique relationship with his daughter, and Lewis' unconventional relationship with his best friend's mother.
