Description

In this bonus episode, The Spark, we welcome back Sam Gilbey, the pop culture illustrator whose work brings our favourite films to life, for a lighter, more personal chat. After Monday's nostalgic deep dive into his creative journey, Sam returns to answer some of our signature questions, offering a glimpse of the person behind the prints.



From his controversial view on talent (spoiler: he's not sure it exists) to why OK Computer still hits after all these years, Sam talks about creativity with humour, humility, and heart. We talk Comic Cons, the comfort of pop culture, and the Sunday roasts and video games that make life sweet. He also shares the embarrassing moment he met his childhood hero Tony Hart—on national TV—and why his worst nemesis is often… himself.



This is a joyful, down-to-earth episode that celebrates fandom, family life, and the magic of just making stuff.
