Andy Serkis is one of the true pioneers of motion capture acting, and is responsible for bringing some of the biggest characters in movie history to life including Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, Caesar in Planet of the Apes, King Kong, and Supreme Leader Snoke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy! Andy explains how he created Gollum’s iconic voice and physicality, why Peter Jackson put him in the scenes with Elijah Wood and Sean Astin instead of using a tennis ball, and how motion capture technology evolved throughout the LOTR trilogy.

Andy also shares stories from inside the secretive Star Wars universe, reveals his reaction to Snoke’s shocking death scene, and explains why performance capture acting is still misunderstood 25 years later. Plus, Andy talks about directing the new animated adaptation of Animal Farm, returning to Middle Earth for the upcoming Gollum movie, and what it means to finally direct his own The Lord of the Rings film!

Was Zeppelin’s 1985 Live Aid performance really the train wreck rock history claims it was? Or has the story been blown way out of proportion for the last 40 years?

They also talk Ozzy’s reunion with Black Sabbath, the conspiracy surrounding Queen’s iconic Live Aid set, the massive cultural impact of the event itself, and whether Live Aid actually reignited interest in bands like Queen and Zeppelin for a whole new generation. Plus, hot takes, backstage stories, rock trivia, and plenty of laughs as the debate rages on about whether Led Zeppelin at Live Aid was actually way better than people remember!
