Trust me when I tell you, it took a lot of restraint today not to talk about Rogers the

musical for the entire episode because I'm a theater geek at heart as well as a film geek.

But don't worry, I did not talk about Rogers the musical the entire episode, but we definitely

did talk about it. So you're still good. Howdy, I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the Q&A.

My agenda is simple. Each week, I plan to bring you in-depth

insights into the creative process of storytelling. Folks, I'm very pleased to have with me today

Hawkeye Season 1 director Rees Thomas. He did episodes 1, 2, and the finale. So there is a lot to talk

about. And this is going to be a spoiler-specific episode, but we start spoiler-free,

so I will make a very clear spoiler announcement once we get into the spoilers. But, you know,

I really enjoyed Hawkeye season one, and there was a lot of great stuff to talk about,

about what it took to direct this and to set the visual style for the series and so many other

things. And Reese was a great interview, so I know

you'll dig this episode. And folks, while you're surfing around online, I just wanted to remind
