Aldis Hodge and Matthew Lillard join What The Film to talk Cross Season 2, moral ambiguity, and what happens when justice and the job don't align.

In this conversation, we explore:

- Alex Cross's approach to protecting a billionaire he doesn't fully trust

- Matthew Lillard's take on playing a "disruptor" with ambiguous intentions

- Why Cross refuses to let bias affect his work—but won't let his job supersede justice

- The show's central question: Is doing the right thing the wrong way still justice?

- Why this season leaves you thinking long after each episode ends

- The spinoff we'd all watch: Cooking and Poetry with Aldis & Matthew

Aldis Hodge stars as detective Alex Cross in Prime Video's Cross, based on James Patterson's bestselling novels. Matthew Lillard (Scream, Scooby-Doo, Five Nights at Freddy's, Good Girls) joins Season 2 as Ed Ramsey, a billionaire tech disruptor whose intentions remain unclear throughout the season.
