05/14/25 • 48 min
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.

Our outies met Ben Stiller and Adam Scott! BTS at the 'Severance' finale screening in London
Talk about ‘Severance’ on your podcast enough and you might just get invited to a screening Q&A. That’s what happened to us anyway when we got to go to the season finale event at Everyman Cinemas in London and mingle with the cast and crew.
To kick off Season 5 we're finally fulfilling our dream of becoming a 'Severance' podcast, for one episode at least, by debriefing the latest season, revealing what goes on at these swanky showbiz events, and telling you all about our chats with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott.
Needless to say; SPOILERS AHEAD!
