The podcast heads to Scotland this week to meet Glaswegian scenic painter and prop maker, Gary Loughran.


In this episode, Gary tells us why he loves making stuff look like other stuff for the big screen, using paint to turn rubber into wood, foam into marble, and polystyrene into stone.


Hear how Gary has brought props and sets to life on 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves', 'Outlander,' and the cancelled 'Batgirl' movie.


Meanwhile, Laura gives an update on her first 'Laura Goes Digging' expedition, and debuts the (annoyingly catchy) jingle she's made for it.

In our first ever emergency episode, we unpick Donald Trump's 'tweet-bomb' from last week in which he announced a 100% tariff on all movies made in "foreign lands."


This left a lot of us asking what this announcement might mean for the film industry in the UK and the US, so in this episode we try to make sense of the madness with the help of some experts on both sides of the Atlantic.


We're joined by Production Designer and former chair of the British Film Designers Guild, Blair Barnette, and former President of the US Art Directors Guild, Thomas Walsh, who give us their take on the situation and answer some of your questions about it.
