As we head further into a glorious Summer, we are back this week with co-host Andrew, to talk about all the latest tv & film news, and a brand new interview with the brilliant Cinematographer, Mathias Herndl.Having started as a child actor, it seems Mathias has always been destined to work in film, but it was stumbling across an old Bolex 16mm camera in his father’s basement at the age of 5 which really set his imagination alight. Ever since those early days, it seems a camera has never left his hand. He’s worked as the cinematographer on Sean Bean’s ‘Legends’, ‘Witches of East End’, ‘Flashpoint’, 'Wayward Pines', 'Motive' and, most recently, ‘Genius’.‘Genius’ was National Geographic's first steps into scripted drama might have seemed like a big gamble, but it was one that paid off, big time, as it’s just been nominated for 10 Emmys in this year's awards. We had a chance for a little chat with Mathias about how he created the unique look for the series, and working with the series exec producer and director, Ron Howard.Also On This Week's Show:Andrew returns as co-host, so we catch up with the tv shows & films we've been watching, including 'Man In The High Castle', 'Colony', 'Suits', 'How To Get Away With Murder', the new Doctor in 'Doctor Who', and of course, 'Game Of Thrones'.We take a look at all the latest tv & film news, including Disney's Live-Action Aladdin, some Flash Season 4 news, and Netflix's adaptation of 'The Umbrella Academy'.We give you our recommendations for upcoming TV in the next 7 days.
