Returning to the podcast for his fourth appearance, director Tim Miller, the creative force behind the blockbuster hit Deadpool and the acclaimed anthologies Love, Death & Robots and Secret Level, pulls back the curtain on the unpredictable reality of a Hollywood career. In a candid discussion, Miller unpacks the delicate balance of luck and perseverance that defines success, the misconceptions surrounding his collaborative directing style, and the complex challenges of working within the massive machinery of a studio franchise like Terminator.

​The conversation then pivots to the monumental shifts transforming the film industry. The group tackles the rise of Artificial Intelligence and its existential implications for creators, the changing landscape of Hollywood leadership, and the eternal debate between art and craft. Miller also reflects on his own creative drive, discussing the very different satisfactions of climbing the "mountain" of a major feature film versus the artistic freedom found in the short-form storytelling of his passion projects.
