Description
A meditation on restraint, resilience, and the small acts that make a life — distilled from a deep conversation about film, family, and masculinity.

Hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman sit with Joel Edgerton to unpack Train Dreams, period filmmaking, stunt safety, and the discipline behind performances that trust silence over spectacle. Learn how small gestures and physical preparation shape authentic acting, why restraint often reads truer on camera, and how ordinary kindness and endurance define character. Conversations range from on-set rituals and stuntcraft to parenting, masculinity, and the luck that shapes careers — with concrete takeaways for actors, filmmakers, and anyone interested in craft and human connection.
