Ep 8: Chris Mead/La La Land Before Time

IMDp: Improvised Movie Director Podcast

IMDp is an improvised interview podcast. Every week Martina Minnow interviews a director about their upcoming film, but until she introduces them, only Martina knows the guests name and the name of their movie.

Also joining Martina each week are our resident improvisers who create cutaway scenes and clips from the films discussed.
