Todd Haynes joins the show to talk about his latest film, May December. In addition to continuing Todd’s long-running creative relationships with Julianne Moore and independent film producer Christine Vachon, "May December" marks his first collaboration with Natalie Portman, who produced and stars in the film. "May December" follows Gracie (Julianne Moore) and her husband Joe (Charles Melton), whose notorious romance gripped the nation when it made tabloid news twenty years ago. When a Hollywood actress (Natalie Portman) meets them to do research for a film about their past, the couple buckles under the pressure.

Haynes explains what struck him about the script after receiving it from Portman, digs into his rich history working with Moore, talks about the process of casting Melton, and breaks down one of the film's most intense scenes.
