‘TheWrap-Up’ Podcast: ‘Hacks’ Creatives on the Show’s Sin City Feel

Episode 49: Plus, the movie theater biz pats itself on the back at CinemaCon

This week on “TheWrap-Up,” hosts Thom Geier and Daniel Goldblatt discussed Rachel Maddow’s big new deal at MSNBC, the movie industry’s big show at CinemaCon and the resignation of Time’s Up CEO Tina Tchen.

Then, we’re joined by director of photography Adam Bricker and costume designer Kathleen Felix-Hager — both of whom were nominated for Emmys for their work on Season 1 of the HBO Max series “Hacks.” We discussed how they built the look of the show during the pandemic and how they made Los Angeles look like Las Vegas.
