In our last episode, we focus on the final episodes 7 and 8 of Shadow and Bone, where we discover the birth of the Shadow Fold and enter it for a final battle between light and dark. We hear from the folks behind the creation of the Fold, and the monsters that live within it, from VFX, to sound, to the backstory of our resident sad boy that everyone is literally dying to know.

Behind The Scenes

Shadow and Bone | Into the Fold

In the Grishaverse, relationships are complicated: sun versus shadow, Grisha versus non-Grisha, state versus border. And relationships -- whether romantic or platonic -- are just as complicated, if not more when small science is involved. We’ll hear from writers, directors, and the man behind the mayhem, actor Ben Barnes (General Kirigan), on how light and dark often live side by side. Plus, we’ll talk with sound designers Craig Henigan and Brad North about how they used their craft to highlight the differences between good and evil.
