Moira tells me about whipping up a wig at a moment's notice for Ayo Edibri, finding individualized hairstyles for all our favorites in the cast including Janelle James, Quinta Brunson, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Lisa Ann Walter as well as the many many many other cast members- kids, parents and more. Moira breaks down the nitty gritty of The Strike and how the trickle down affects the entire industry, and she tells me about her products which she uses on set and you can purchase for yourself.  I had the greatest time talking to this amazing woman, and I hope you enjoy our conversation and learn a thing or two that you didn't know before about wigs, the strike, and...

THE BEAR. It's your favorite show and these are your favorite characters. I am breaking my hiatus to bring you this episode because you know we all need it. Ignacia Soto-Aguilar will tell you in this episode about THE LASH (you know the one on Jamie Lee Curtis' face that broke the internet)! I love talking to Ignacia about her projects because while she is a makeup artist, what you may not know is that she thinks like a filmmaker. Listen as she tells me what it was like shooting Episode 6 - "Fishes", that incredible Christmas dinner scene where ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. And Will Poulter's tatts based on his personal story - he needed nurses everywhere and hot sauce bottles?! - as well as the Brownies that he made himself and brought to set in this very special bonus episode about this very special show.

This week features a conversation between Oscar Award Winner Judy Chin and Emmy Award Winner Jason Collins of Autonomous FX, Inc. Dead Ringers starring Rachel Weisz, now on Amazon Prime, is a limited series based on the original film which starred Jeremy Irons.  Judy is the makeup department head and Jason heads up the SFX Team on the show.  These two are masters of their craft, that much is certain, but what I really enjoyed talking with them about was the extraordinary way that they approach the subject matter of the show through artistry.  We also discuss the observation that audiences are shocked by the "graphic nature" of the scenes in the birthing center of this series, yet are capable of consuming content that is violent and gory without commentingon it.  Hear how they worked together on this challenging project and please let me know what you think of Dead Ringers!Watch Dead Ringers (2023) Now On Amazonhttps://amzn.to/3oUy6v3 Watch the Original Film (1988) Herehttps://amzn.to/3oUy6v33:08 - Start3:53 - Judy Gets in on The Project5:40 - The Baby Vending Business8:40 - The Maternity Ward10:00 - The Natural Body Horror Dance12:35 - Pushing For Authenticity 14:04 - Prepping the Birthing Rig15:10 - The ECE Procedure17:30 - The Big Belly19:50 - The Crowning Scene21:05 - Creating the Twins22:50 - Simplicity Saves the Day23:52 - Differentiating the Twins25:51 - The Female Approach26:35 - Closing Get full access to Look Behind The Look's Substack from Tiffany Bartok at lookbehindthelook.substack.com/subscribe
