This week we chat with writer/director David Matalon! He's one of the writers and the co-story creator behind Amazon Prime's Totally Killer. We chat about anti-nostalgia, the genesis of the story and filmmaking in general before taking it back to when he was a kid and find out why When a Stranger Calls terrified him.

You can follow David on Twitter. And check out Totally Killer on Amazon.
