How Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Changed Westeros Forever
Why did Baelor die, what did viewers miss in the Trial of Seven, and how does Dunk’s perspective change the fight? A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Director Owen Harris reveals the key moments that make this Game of Thrones prequel stand apart. Sierra Nutkevitch talks with Owen Harris about setting the tone for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, why the series leans into honesty, intimacy, and “small folk” perspective, and how the camera stays locked to Dunk during the fight so viewers feel every impact. Harris also explains why Episode 5, “In the Name of the Mother,” avoids turning the Trial of Seven into glossy spectacle and instead makes it feel muddy, claustrophobic, painful, and personal. The conversation also digs into Baelor’s shocking death, the deliberate misdirection around his injury, and why humor matters in a story where one clumsy, human moment can change the future of Westeros. Harris teases the evolving dynamic between Dunk and Egg, including how Egg’s Targaryen identity changes their relationship moving forward.

Devil May Cry Season 2 Reveals The Dante Fans Were Waiting For
Devil May Cry Season 2 takes Dante into darker, more emotional territory as Annie Banks interviews Johnny Yong Bosch about voicing the iconic antihero. In this Heroes Journey episode, Annie Banks sits down with Johnny Yong Bosch to discuss Dante’s evolution, the emotional weight behind Devil May Cry Season 2, and how this younger version of the character is still earning the confidence, humor, and swagger fans know from the games. Johnny explains that this Dante is still “figuring out who he is,” while also teasing how the new season explores more of Dante and Vergil’s past. The conversation digs into how antiheroes hide pain behind jokes, how voice actors find truth inside action-heavy anime, and why Dante’s relationship with Vergil may leave a lasting mark on where the character goes next. Johnny also opens up about how personal grief, brotherhood, and emotional memory can shape a performance, giving this Devil May Cry Season 2 interview a deeper, more personal edge. Highlights include Johnny saying Dante uses humor to take the edge off, teasing that things may get much darker for him, and promising that fans who wanted more Dante and Vergil will see “quite a bit” of that dynamic this season.

Andy Serkis Explains Why Animal Farm Had To Change
Andy Serkis explains why Animal Farm had to change for a new generation, and why this adaptation may divide longtime Orwell fans. In this Heroes Journey Podcast episode, Rachel Leishman talks with Andy Serkis about adapting George Orwell’s Animal Farm as an animated movie with a younger audience in mind. Serkis breaks down why the story still matters, how Orwell’s themes of power, corruption, misinformation, and dictatorship remain painfully relevant, and why he did not want the movie to feel like a lecture. The conversation digs into the biggest creative choices behind Animal Farm, including the new piglet character Lucky, the decision to make the film more accessible without abandoning Orwell’s darker ideas, and why Serkis believes the movie should start debate rather than chase an algorithm. Serkis also explains how Rise of the Planet of the Apes helped inspire his approach, why he wanted the animation to feel cinematic and physically real, and how the voice cast shaped the film. He discusses Seth Rogen as Napoleon, Woody Harrelson as Boxer, Laverne Cox as Snowball, Kathleen Turner as Benjamin, Jim Parsons as the sheep, Glenn Close, and Steve Buscemi. Highlights include Serkis saying the film was “not made for an algorithm,” explaining why storytelling works as an “empathy machine,” and admitting some fans may argue this version is “not Orwell.” Chapters:00:00 – Andy Serkis on Why Animal Farm Still Matters02:33 – Why This Animal Farm Targets a Younger Audience03:31 – How Planet of the Apes Inspired the Adaptation05:02 – Lucky the Piglet and the Movie’s Biggest Change07:05 – Designing Animal Farm’s Heroes and Villains09:14 – Why Serkis Wanted Live-Action Style Close-Ups10:19 – Seth Rogen, Woody Harrelson and the Voice Cast14:00 – Andy Serkis on Adaptations, Allegory and Fan Expectations18:30 – Why Gollum, Caesar and Animal Farm Stay With Him21:07 – The Debate Serkis Wants Animal Farm to Start
