Gareth Edwards is no stranger to big scale sci-fi but his latest film, THE CREATOR, is something different, a rare wholly unique idea in a sea of franchises. Gareth joins Josh to talk about his filmmaking influences, from Spielberg to Cameron, and his experiences directing giant films like ROGUE ONE and GODZILLA. #happysadconfused #joshhorowitz #thecreator #garethedwards
