A very overwhelming show to direct because they had very little money and a lot of big set pieces involving stunts and special effects.

And also not only taking all the energy that it takes to direct an episode of this show, but also constantly talking to me and my brother about how he's doing it and guiding us through how he gets through his day and how he plans these scenes and just taught us, you know, how to do what he was doing.

And to realize that David has always been the same and has always been just a true mensch.

It's just the best room.

Just, yeah.

It was like, oh yeah, no, he really is just that cool of a guy.

My mind was blown.
