Actress Michelle Monaghan (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Mission Impossible) & writer and exec producer Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Ted Lasso) join Giles Alderson & Dom Lenoir to talk making their new series Bad Monkey.

Michelle talks acting, improv, working with Vince Vaughn, the difference between directors and how to cope and gives some great acting advice.

Bill Lawrence goes deep into why he writes, his process, why he got fired from writing on Friends. We talk Ted Lasso, Scrubs and what it takes to make a hit TV show.

And we talk with both Michelle and Bill about Bad Monkey, Apple TV's new comedy starring Vaughn as a former Miami detective investigating the mysterious appearance of a severed arm.
