Adam travels to Paris to meet his old friend, British director Garth Jennings. After a brief catch up, Garth introduces Adam to his old friend, and fellow Paris dweller, Wes Anderson of Texas, USA. The conversation was recorded in early March 2018 shortly before the release of Anderson’s 9th feature, and 2nd foray into stop motion (after Fantastic Mr Fox) Isle Of Dogs.  Set in a dystopian near-future Japan, Isle Of Dogs follows a young boy who goes in search of his dog after the whole species is banished to an island due to an illness outbreak. Adam, Garth and Wes enjoy a rambly chat about the production of Isle of Dogs and stop motion in general, David Bowie (of course), Mary Poppins, cantankerous cast members and other important odds and sods.  WES ANDERSON FILMOGRAPHY 1996 - BOTTLE ROCKET 1998 - RUSHMORE 2001 - THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS 2004 - THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU 2007 - THE DARJEELING LIMITED 2009 - THE FANTASTIC MR FOX 2012 - MOONRISE KINGDOM 2014 - THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL 2018 - ISLE OF DOGS Bowie Trumps are made by Casey Raymond and currently available on line from Etsy.com Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support.
