The first is with Thom Khoury WIlliams, stunt coordinator on DC's 'Doom Patrol', and Brett Chan who coordinates the martial arts epic 'Warrior'.Up first is Thom Khoury WIlliams, who has hundreds of credits to his name as a stunt performer from shows such as '24', 'NCIS', 'Lost', 'The Walking Dead' and 'The Vampire Diaries', to movies such as 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2', 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', 'Ant-Man and the Wasp', 'Baby Driver' and 'The Matrix Resurrections'.

On this episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast, I am chatting with Nico Del Giudice of Molecule VFX, who has recently been working as VFX Supervisor on true-crime drama 'Dr. Death', which is currently airing on Starzplay UK and Peacock in the USA.Based on the podcast of the same name, 'Dr. Death' is inspired by the true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch, played in the show by Joshua Jackson, a rising star in the Dallas medical community who was building a flourishing neurosurgery practice when everything suddenly changed. Patients entered his operating room for complex but routine spinal surgeries but left permanently maimed or dead. As victims piled up, two fellow physicians, neurosurgeon Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin) and vascular surgeon Randall Kirby (Christian Slater), as well as Dallas prosecutor Michelle Shughart (AnnaSophia Robb), set out to stop him.You would expect with a show like this that most of the VFX work would be recreating and emphasise the horror aspect of the doctor's gristly o
