In this week's episode Mark talks to director Ben Wheatley. In this archival edition recorded at the BFI Southbank back in May 2023, Ben had freshly completed The Meg 2: The Trench, starring the inimitable Jason Statham. Mark and Ben dive into making of The Meg, and into the monster-movie inspirations that informed it, which include the 1961 classic Mothra, and Godzilla. And the incredible work of the legendary Ray Harryhausen.
