You know Grishan Roof as the woman behind all those satisfying videos of makeup depotting, making your kit tremendously lighter, more manageable and much prettier to look at.  Listen in the episode as Grishan tells me how Depot Chopra was born, and how she  thrived during COVID.  Grishan becomes emotional as she recounts what  the belief and support of her fellow makeup artists like Fiona Stiles meant to her as her business was getting started...

Also the subtle pairing of ever-changing hair looks with period wardrobe, and the fun in looking back for 'inspo' to The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, and Hee Haw (OMG). Watch George & Tammy on SHOWTIME Now...

I had a great time talking to Avery Plewes about the huge responsibility she carried by costume designing Scream VI.  Entering this beloved franchise and grabbing Ghostface by the... well... face, she conquered a huge job of ensuring the fans felt appreciated and the beloved installments were respectfully honored. Listen to how she assembled the museum with her team, and helped to make Gale Weathers look the best she's ever looked (IMHO).
