Silence on Set

We spoke with Eric Kripke about season 4 of The Boys back in June. We went over what fans could expect this upcoming season, some hidden easter eggs, and character arcs. Now in Part Two... you will see the 5 minute exclusive conversation we had about the MAJOR character who returns in those final few moments of the season. *DO NOT WATCH UNTIL YOU HAVE SEEN THE SEASON 4 FINALE. Host: Monica Gleberman Editor: Shamindri De Sayrah Social Media Graphic: Jojo -- The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca's son as well as his job as The Boys' leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it's too late. The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes—who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought—the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It's the seemingly powerless against the super powerful. *The Boys Season 4 is available to stream in full on Prime Video.

Director and writer, David Stassen, along with actor and writer Ike Barinholtz, have reunited again to bring one of the most hilariously funny and highly satirical films to the big screen this year, Maximum Truth. This project adds to a list of hilarious projects the two have worked on together, including The Mindy Project and, more recently, History of The World: Part II. David and Ike are two of the smartest and funniest people I know. It was a joy to reconnect with them again. I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt! The two of them are geniuses and have proven that time and time again. Enjoy the three of us making fun of one another, talking inside jokes, me hitting on Ike as usual (all in good fun), and us laughing our way through discussing this film. It was also fun to hear how much was improvised and their love for Dylan O'Brien.

We spoke to Freddie Dennis from Netflix's latest hit, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. This is a spin-off/prequel of the successful Netflix original series Bridgerton. Dennis plays Reynolds, who works for the King and secretly has a relationship with the Queen's man, Brimsley (Sam Clemmett). While the series focuses on Queen Charlotte and King George (their initial meeting, marriage, and such) -- Reynolds and Brimsley became fan favorites as they had to hide their relationship. It's the first LGBTQIA+ story told in the Bridgerton world, and Dennis said he could not be more honored to be a part of it. While Dennis gave a lot of credit to his fellow actors, the writers, and the crew of the show -- he went into detail on how he decided to play Reynolds, the conversations he had with Sam to make sure they were getting it right, and some of his favorite scenes to shoot. We also talk about the graceful hand-touching scene (with no dialogue) that happens (if you know, you know). Dennis is one of the easiest people to connect with -- before we hit record, we chatted about where each of us was, how it was sunny in London, and just about life in general. Dennis is exceptionally humble and fights every compliment I give him. However, I think I got through in the end. After dissecting his character, we both spoke about what he is up to now and if there will be a second season of Queen Charlotte that we desperately want. Host: Monica Gleberman Editor: Polina Jdanova Social Media Graphic: Jojo -- Synopsis: The young queen's marriage to King George of England ushers in an epic love story and transforms high society. **Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is available to stream now on Netflix.

We met with the triple threat (Director/Writer/Actor) Jennifer Esposito to discuss the world premiere of her film Fresh Kills at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival. While the film is based in the mob world in NY (specifically Staten Island), Esposito went out of her way to make sure that not only would the film be as accurate and as authentic as possible -- but that it would be told from a women's perspective for the first time. In a lot of these films, the men are the ones carrying the movie. However, for Esposito, hearing from the often voiceless, the women behind the men was essential. Esposito and I broke down a few scenes without giving too much away because this is a MUST-WATCH at the festival. Host: Monica Gleberman Editor: Marianna Randazzo Social Media Graphic: Jojo -- Synopsis: The daughters of the Larusso family struggle to break the unspoken code of the women behind the men in the mob world of Staten Island in the late '80s and early '90s.

Moore, McGuire, and Landschoot all discussed their shock from episodes that just aired and gave teasers and reactions when they read the series finale.

Saint X star Josh Bonzie revisited the podcast to discuss his hit from Hulu called Saint X. Bonzie had previously been on the podcast to discuss what fans could expect when Saint X was released on Hulu. Now that all of the episodes are out, Bonzie and I really got into some of the significant issues the show addresses regarding race, assumptions, stereotypes, discrimination, and how all of this can stem from one incident in your life. Bonzie plays Clive "Gogo" Richardson, who works at a fancy resort when a young attractive white woman goes missing and is ultimately found dead. For the rest of his life, Gogo has to face the repercussions of that one incident. If you haven't seen the show, I would recommend watching all of it before listening to this podcast because spoilers are ahead. But it was fascinating to hear from Bonzie again and really break down how fast your entire life can change with something entirely out of your hands and how this happens to various targeted communities all the time. Host: Monica Gleberman Editor: Ashley Pelletier Social Media Graphic: Jojo -- Synopsis: The series, which is told via multiple timelines, explores, and upends the girl gone-missing genre as it explores how a young woman's mysterious death during an idyllic Caribbean vacation creates a traumatic ripple effect that eventually pulls her surviving sister into a dangerous pursuit of the truth.   The 8-episode series is adapted from Alexis Schaitkin's novel.

We spoke with Violet Brinson from The CW hit, 'Walker,' about how her character, Stella, has evolved from the first script she received to now. Brinson was a delight because she was willing to answer everything and anything. We took a deep dive into the reasoning behind Stella's decisions -- if she would make a good ranger, Stella's future, and what it's like being a part of the Walker family. We discussed the careful balance between comedy and drama (as we know, there is a lot of drama on the show). We had so much fun. Brinson also revealed the latest topics and messages in the group chat between the cast, what it's like playing Jared Padalecki's daughter, and how much she has learned from the cast and crew over time. We even heard about more pranks and jokes while on set and what it was like when Jensen came in to direct. Violet said it was something special seeing Jared and Jensen together. We joked a lot about Jared and Jensen, but hearing more stories (including some from that carnival-themed episode) was awesome. Brinson is one of the sweetest humans on the planet. We got along from the second we both appeared on Zoom. We covered everything, and I owe her a good gallop lesson when I come on set next season. Violet is THE BEST. I can't wait to see her in person. I hope you enjoy listening to all things Stella and Walker from the one and only Violet Brinson! Host: Monica Gleberman Editor: Marianna Randazzo Social Media Graphic: Jojo -- Synopsis: A reimagining of the long-running series "Walker, Texas Ranger," "Walker" follows the adventures of Cordell Walker, a widower and father of two with his own moral code, as he returns home to Austin after being undercover for two years, only to discover there's harder work to be done at home.

We spoke with Katie Findlay, who currently stars on The CW's Walker Independence. Fans were disappointed when the network decided not to renew the show for a second season. So, while the show remains in limbo with hopes of finding a home somewhere else, we spoke with Katie about her history in the industry, why she loved working on the show so much, and what her hopes are moving forward. Katie was one of the nicest people I have ever spoken to and I felt so comfortable speaking with her that we could have a deep and honest conversation that was extremely refreshing. So I hope the show finds a home, but if not I am sure we will be seeing Katie on another great project soon. = Host: Monica Gleberman Editor: Shamindri De Sayrah Social Media Graphic: Jojo -- Synopsis: Set in the late 1800s, an origin story of "Walker," "Walker Independence" follows Abby Walker, an affluent and tough-minded Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West.

First of all, we talked to the legend that is Bernadette Peters, and she was wonderful. She was funny but honest. She was excited to step into a role and show like nothing she had ever seen. Meanwhile, Christine Taylor and Keir O'Donnell joked that they play the "normal" ones in this drama/comedy. We talked about a scene with them heading into a restaurant at a table that just had us laughing. Finally, we spoke with Weruche Opia and Rupert Friend, both of which were so excited for fans to see what's to come this season, excited for the chaos they got to play, and gave a lot of propers to the legends Peters and Arquette (everyone gave props to those legends).

We spoke with Jimmy Akingbola, Patrick Harbinson & Kate London about the latest installment of the fan favorite, The Tower. This season is called, The Tower 2: Death Message. While Akingbola spoke about what it was like preparing for this season, his character changes from last season, and the tight scripts -- we also talked to EPs Harbinson and London. (London is also responsible for the books the show is based on) in terms of how you complete an adaptation, which shots were used, and how this season looks different than season one.

We spoke to Ricky He and Avery Konrad about their roles in MGM+'s hit show, From. The show had a fantastic first season, and due to word of mouth, streaming, and such, the show has quickly become a fan favorite (cult-like), where everyone is obsessively trying to figure out what will happen next. Ricky He, plays Kenny Liu, who is a good man that slowly inches his way, sort of by accident, into a role of leadership. However, this season he really steps into that role, but He warns things are about to get even crazier for the group that, has already had all sorts of strange happenings, losses, and weird sightings that disappear. Meanwhile, Avery Konrad plays Sara Myers, who has always been quiet but is seen talking to herself and having creepy messages morphed onto her arm. She has begun to make decisions that could affect her existence in the town and directly affect her relationship with everyone. I joked with Konrad that I was so happy that she didn't die in season one, but Konrad got into what was going on in Sara's mind and what will happen as the season goes on and the messages get stronger. I asked Ricky and Avery, 'Alright, so what is going on in this town,' to which they both gave exciting answers, but I think even by the time this season ends, I will have more questions than answers. It was terrific speaking to Ricky and Avery, who got very invested in their characters and the phenomenon that has taken over this show. Both couldn't be more gratful for the fans and how much they love From and really want to know, WHAT IS GOING ON!

We sat down with Leila Gerstein (executive producer), Josh Bonzie, Alycia Debnam-Carey, West Duchovny, Jayden Elijah, Michael Park, and Betsy Brandt to discuss their latest thriller to hit on Hulu called 'Saint X.' All of the actors spoke about the importance of this show and how some of your initial judgments going into the first episode might say more about you than it does the characters you are watching. While the show is full of constant twists and turns (going back and forth from the past to the present), it also regularly addresses serious issues, including stereotypes, racism, sexuality, media attention, tragedy, and more. While the show is heavy, there are lessons to learn from it. All of the actors spoke about how they worked on their characters, who made them better, how they got through some of the more challenging scenes, and what they did to lighten the mood while on set.

The series stars Joshua Jackson as Dan Gallagher, Lizzy Caplan as Alex Forrest, Amanda Peet as Beth Gallagher, Toby Huss as Mike Gerard, Brian Goodman as Arthur Tomlinson, Alyssa Jirrels as Ellen Gallagher, and Reno Wilson as Detective Earl Brooker -- all of which sat down to discuss what it was like working on a show that is a reimaging of the original cult classic film. One of the most intense scenes, for me, was with Jackson was the initial parol hearing to which Jackson added that was done the first day of shooting. Caplan and I discussed how she isn't playing just a "crazy" woman and how things have changed a lot since the original film was made. For the rest of the cast, they discuss what their characters are thinking with each one breaking down how their relationship started with Dan and how it ends up years later. We also spoke to the Alexandra Cunningham (“Dirty John,” “Chance”) serves as writer, showrunner and executive producer on the series alongside executive producer Kevin J. Hynes (“Perry Mason”), with whom Cunningham developed the series, and executive producers Darryl Frank (“The Americans”) and Justin Falvey (“The Americans”) for Amblin Television.

We spoke to Katherine McNamara shortly after announcements were made, leaving 'Walker: Independence' in limbo. Not sure if the show will be picked up or not, we went on to discuss the importance of having a show like it on the network, how much change it was doing, and the importance of being able to show a vast range of people coming together despite their differences to work towards a common goal. McNamara and I spoke about a possible Outlander and Walker: Independence crossover (I would love for it to happen, and McNamara is friends with the cast of Outlander, including its male lead, Sam Heughan). We also went over Abby's journey, how Abby could sleep with Tom, my hope that she has at least a one-night stand with Hoyt next season, and of course, where we stand regarding the show moving forward. McNamara is one of the nicest people to talk to; she has become a great friend and spent extra time with me to make sure she answered all of my questions and a rapid-fire of fan questions pulled from Twitter. She is generous, she is gorgeous inside and out, and she is a fantastic person. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a renewal or a pickup somewhere. Host: Monica Gleberman Editor: Shamindri De Sayrah Social Media Graphic: Jojo -- Synopsis: Set in the late 1800s, an origin story of the series "Walker," "Walker Independence" follows Abby Walker, an affluent and tough-minded Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West. Abby arrives in the town of Independence, Texas, where she encounters diverse and eclectic residents running from their pasts, chasing their dreams, and keeping their own secrets. Abby runs into Hoyt Rawlins, a slippery rogue, thief, and con artist with a dented heart of gold who quickly eyes Abby as a mark, until she turns the tables on him. In seeking justice for her husband, Abby and Hoyt soon find themselves precariously aligned, both seeking to uncover the truth about the identity of Abby's husband's killer, and vow to save Independence -- a frontier boomtown where nothing is what it seems. *All episodes of Walker: Independence can be found for free on the CW app to stream or on HBO Max (if you have a subscription) Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @SilenceonSet and Instagram @SilenceonSetPod

We spoke with Benny Safdie about his latest beloved film, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. Safdie told some great stories about his life and personal connection to the film, even though he was shocked that they thought of him for the role. Safdie, who is known for some outlandish characters in some of the other films he has been in and/or worked on, said he has never opened himself up to a role that was this similar to his life (since Safdie is a dad who lives in a dual religion household). Safdie told some great stories about how he worked on making Herb the best dad he could be, the importance of a movie like this, his happiness that it has done so well, and the importance of enjoying being a kid while you can (because let's be honest, adulting isn't fun). So, if you loved the film, you will want to listen to Safdie's fun stories about making it and even his first interaction with Kathy Bates (which includes a story about her infamous role in misery). Host: Monica Gleberman Editor: Shamindri De Sayrah Social Media Graphic: Jojo -- Synopsis: Eleven-year-old Margaret moves to a new town and starts to contemplate everything about life, friendship and adolescence. She relies on her mother, Barbara, who offers loving support, and her grandmother, Sylvia, who's coming to terms with finding happiness in the next phase of her life. Questions of identity, one's place in the world, and what brings meaning to life soon brings them closer together than ever before. *Are You There God?
