Those halcyon days in the summer of 2019 when everything seemed possible and you could hug the ones you love.  The multi-talented Michael Nardelli was kind enough to join our fledgling show for a chat about Circle (2015) in which he starred, and on which he worked as a producer. We also talked about his new show for Prime Video, Dark/Web, and filmmaking in general. He was a generous and entertaining guest and we published the interview in full (skip to 29:40 - 1:40:00 for the interview). So the question is, did Hugh love Circle so much he would pretend to be its spouse, or was he urging people to vote for him just so he didn’t have to watch it to the end?
