In case you didn't know this and you should know this by now, don't mess with the grandparents.

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 got to say, don't mess with any

of the grandparents in this movie. Okay, they are all dangerous. Do not mess with them. That's all

I'm saying here.

Look, I'm very happy to have back in the series, and it's been just a hot minute,

writer-director Thomas Pazuka to talk about today's film, Let Him Go.

You know, it's been a long time. Thomas was in the podcast early on when we first,

when we first started out. And he was a great guest. And we just somehow didn't connect on the other films

that he was on.

And it was really good to have him back.

And talk about his latest film.

You could see let him go anywhere that you could rent a movie online.

So I highly recommend you go check it out.

Because there's there's great performances.

And it's a rock solid adaptation as well. You know, Thomas was very forthcoming about his creative

process and especially the lengths at which he went to adapt this book because he really did

change the narrative around in ways that were actually kind of surprising I found, but but really

worked and benefited the movie as well. So I hope you

check out, let him go. And speaking of things to check out while you're surfing around online,

I also hope you stop by and check out Backstory magazine over at Backstory.net. You can read us on a
