Realizing Guillermo del Toro’s Dream: Inside the Production Design of ‘Frankenstein’

Monday, February 23, 2026 • Duration 33:14

Guillermo del Toro had been waiting almost all his life to make Frankenstein. “He’s wanted to make this movie since he was a little boy,” production designer Tamara Deverell tells Ankler Media deputy editor Christopher Rosen on the latest episode of Art & Crafts. For del Toro, the story of Frankenstein is foundational. “It’s in all my movies,” the Oscar-winning director behind The Shape of Water and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio said in an interview last year. He’s talked openly about how the film’s de facto father-son relationship between Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) and the creature he creates (Oscar nominee Jacob Elordi) was influenced by the relationship del Toro had with his father. “I’m finding out things about his process that I didn’t know, that I maybe I didn’t need to know,” Deverell says about her journey with the project, which first debuted at the Venice Film Festival in August and is now an Oscar nominee for best picture, as well as production design for Deverell and set decorator Shane Vieau, among nine overall nominations. “This movie is such a personal thing for him, and I’m interested to see what he’s going to do next. Because Frankenstein is a tough act to follow.”

Art & Crafts: Making of ‘Andor’ Season 2

Monday, August 25, 2025 • Duration 36:06

When Dan Gilroy sat down with his brother, Andor creator Tony Gilroy, and fellow writers Tom Bissell and Beau Willimon, to work on the Emmy-nominated show’s second and final season, he knew they had a tall task ahead. “On a lot of shows, climax means spectacle, and throwing a lot of money on the screen and looking for things to break and crash,” Dan Gilroy says to Ankler Media deputy editor Christopher Rosen on the latest episode of the Art & Crafts podcast. “That was not our climax. Our climax is a moral, character-driven climax, and in many ways, it’s driven by Rogue One [the Star Wars prequel movie that introduced audiences to the Andor title character, played by Diego Luna]. So the audience knows what’s going to happen to these people at the end, when this is all said and done. Most of them are going to die, which is a very unusual starting place. However, it gives you tremendous power as you’re barreling toward your climax.” Listen to Gilroy, director Janus Metz and costume designer Michael Wilkinson discuss their Emmy-nominated work in the episode, sponsored by Disney+.

Art & Crafts: How ‘The Bear’ Sound Team Creates Quiet and Chaos

Monday, August 18, 2025 • Duration 17:37

The sound design of the FX comedy series The Bear is often so noisy — heated conversations, shattered plates, clanging pots and pans — that when the Emmy Award-winning show goes quiet, it can feel like a primal scream. Never had the power of silence been more apparent on the series than in the season 3 episode “Doors,” which opens at a funeral service for the mother of pastry chef Marcus (Lionel Boyce). “It was a real gift that they gave us that nice quiet moment before devolving into even more chaos of this episode,” The Bear supervising sound editor and re-recording mixer Steve “Major” Giammaria, MPSE, tells Ankler Media deputy editor Christopher Rosen during the latest episode of Art & Crafts, sponsored by FX.
