Adam talks with American actor and writer Tom Hanks about his new novel The Making Of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece, as well as why it's important not to walk out of films, favourite drinks, dogs, whether an AI Tom Hanks will be as good as a real Tom Hanks, working with Wes Anderson and other important stuff.

Conversation recorded remotely on April 18th, 2023
