Our first Oscar winner!
For the last episode before our mid-season break we have Ed Swick on the show.
He talks about his new book - Hits, Flops and Other Illusions.

He tells us how the industry has changed, that films like the ones he made aren’t made anymore and a bit more about winning Oscars.
Ed tells us about his motivation for making movies, his favourite industry moments and how writing his book helped him relive his Hollywood story.
A fascinating episode with one of the entertainment industry’s biggest hitters.
