Ah, yes, the 80s, a simple time when neo-Nazis needed to rob banks to raise money, unlike today where they just sell merch out in the open, along with gaining assistance to do so from various companies who help process their payments and keep their websites up and online so they could spread more hate.

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. And folks, yeah,

you know, this one's personal, not a fan of neo-Nazis, obviously, and it is still a problem today,

which is why today's film, the order, still has resonance and still is an important story that I'm glad was told.

And for that reason, I'm very happy to have with me screenwriter Zach Balin.

And, you know, we had a really good chat about what it took to make this movie.

We, of course, talk about his creative process and the research he did and all the influences he got,

including, of course,

the book that the movie is partly based on. And we've interviewed Zach before, and he was very

forthcoming about his creative process and what it took to get this film made, so I know you'll

dig this episode. And speaking of things to dig, you know, Backstory Magazine just turned 12,

and we couldn't have done it without you. So

thanks for your support. And you know, we just published our Gladiator 2 issue, which is full of

spoilers in all interviews. That's right. It's all in issue number 54, and we are continuing to

add new articles to issue 54 as the year progresses, because this is phase one of the award season. So you'll be

able to read cool articles there and read scripts in their entirety that are in competition for

awards. If you've never read Backstory before, I hope you test drive us by reading us over at

backstory.net on a desktop or laptop or via our iPad app, Backstory. And if you like what

you see, and I hope that you do, I hope you'll consider getting a subscription and you could use
