Introducing Motherhacker

From the creators behind Homecoming and Sandra, this is a preview of The Final Chapters of Richard Brown Winters. Richard Brown Winters: bestselling author and legendary recluse. It’s been almost a decade since anyone’s heard from him, and most of his readers have given up hope of ever finding out the fate of wasteland warrior Casio Zook and his loyal falcon. But that doesn't stop one ardent fan from joining a ragtag group journeying to Winters’ desert cabin — and what they find threatens to destroy the Wintersverse forever. The Final Chapters of Richard Brown Winters, written and created by Kevin Moffett and Eli Horowitz. Directed by Eli Horowitz. Starring Darrell Britt-Gibson, Bobby Cannavale, Catherine Keener, Parker Posey, and Sam Waterston.  If you want to hear the rest of the story, you can find The Final Chapters of Richard Brown Winters here.

Alex Blumberg sits down with the stars of the Homecoming  TV show-- Julia Roberts and Stephan James, and director Sam Esmail-- to talk about how they came to the project and what it was like to film it. This is the final part of a four-part mini-series on the making of the Homecoming TV show.

Being in charge of a big-budget TV production means having to make decisions. It's a new kind of power for Micah and Eli, and one that's sometimes uncomfortable to exercise. The words they write have real-world, three-dimensional-- and sometimes winged-- consequences. This is the third part of a four-part mini-series on the making of the Homecoming TV show.

Micah and Eli get to work, writing the scripts for the Homecoming TV show. But taking something meant only for the ear, and turning it into something for the eye... proves to be deceptively challenging. Plus, Alex visits the set of the show, to meet the small army of people actually building the visual world of Homecoming. This is the second part of a four-part mini-series on the making of the Homecoming TV show, which airs November 4th.
