Deep dive with us into two scenes in this episode, both in the Red Circle spa. We first discuss how this club level is introduced visually, with minimal coverage as well. Then we jump to the action sequence where John hunts down Iosef, starting the multi floor fight that goes throughout the whole Red Circle. Listen to us discuss lighting, lens, and some continuity too. Happy listening!
