Villains - Secrets From Unexpected Places
About this episode
Tony chats with directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen to dig into the twisted, darkly comedic world of Villains—their breakout thriller starring Bill Skarsgård, Maika Monroe, and Jeffrey Donovan. What begins as a simple home invasion spirals into a surreal nightmare when two amateur criminals stumble into a secret their victims will do anything to protect.
The conversation opens with Berk and Olsen sharing how crucial it was to bring Maika Monroe into the project—and how her instincts, presence, and genre experience helped define the film’s emotional core.
