In conversation with Ilya Naishuller: Heads Of State, Hardcore Henry, Nobody and more

In a very special episode of the Film Stories podcast, director Ilya Naishuller joins Simon to talk about his new film, Heads Of State.

Thing is, they talk about a hell of a lot of other things too before they get there. Nunchuks, sausages, Hardcore Henry, grief, CG on a pint of bitter, Nobody, trying to work a clapperboard... quite a conversation this, with some fruity language included.

Heads Of State is now streaming on Prime Video.
