Ep. 117 - Daniel Day-Lewis (feat. Dames Marvs)

In this episode, the Munsons are joined by guest Munson, Dames Marvs, to dive into the elusive, mesmerizing world of Sir Daniel Day-Lewis. We cover it all—stories from off the screen that are just as legendary as his performances, the mystery behind why he’s so selective with his roles, and how he seemingly gives up being himself while on a set.

We marvel at the bizarre twists of fate that shaped him: the schoolyard bullies, the carpenter who turned him down, and the wild journey that followed. We talk about the time he learned a foreign language for a film that wasn’t even in that language, speculate if Tarantino may have accidentally saved his life by passing on him for Pulp Fiction, and ponder the possibility of home videos of his kids asking why dad is dressed like Hawkeye from The Last of the Mohicans. Finally, we look ahead to the inevitable day Sir Daniel will defend the crown using every survival skill he's gained from decades of full-immersion acting.

Do we have a new #1 rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
