Episode notes

Writer/director Alex Scharfman is on Popcorn Podcast to talk his equal parts sci-fi, monster movie and family drama, Death of a Unicorn. Starring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Richard E. Grant, and Téa Leoni, Scharfman explores the mythic world of Unicorns within a modern setting. Its DNA is rooted in the 80s/90s films from the likes of Ridley Scott, John Carpenter, James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, so you know you're in for a good time. In our chat, Scharfman shares how he flipped the script on our preconceived idea of Unicorns, how his cast played with improvisation, why spacial awareness is so important in storytelling and a story about Adam Sandler.
