We break down episode 8 of PokerFace with Luis Guzmán (IamLuisGuzman), who discusses his admiration for Natasha Lyonne, his thoughts on Rian Johnson's mystery plotting, his expectations for more Gomez in Wednesday season 2:
Poker Face, created by Rian Johnson, follows Charlie Cale as she travels across the country trying to stay off the radar of a dangerous casino owner. Charlie has an uncanny ability to spot a lie and a mind for puzzles, which often get her into trouble. In every town she stops, Charlie meets a unique cast of characters who pull her into a mystery, which she inevitably solves using her skills as a human lie detector.
And then when I showed up, and I found out she was directing, I go, "Wow, this girl is taking it to another level here." And I got to tell you, I was super impressed with her total ability of what she did. I think we've had a wonderful collaboration with each other. I was falling in love the whole time I was there.
Luis Guzmán: Well, because [his] boss, Terri Jones, she kind of let [him] down, really let [him] down. [He] didn't expect that from her. And then to fire [him] the way she fired [him] and to think, "Wow." So [he] never really had any value to her. Luis Guzmán: The collaboration was beautiful, man. We had an incredible energy between us two. Our chemistry was really super awesome. I've said this today in a few interviews, but I'm a fan boy. So I see her work, and it was, like I said, it's really what drew me to this. And man, she was so prepared.
Rian Johnson's been able to re-popularize a lot of these classic mystery-style whodunnit tales. Now they're called howcatchem's. But what is it about Rian's style as a writer and producer that really draws people in? Dancing and sword fighting, that's amazing. That's what I want to see out of Gomez Addams. Back to Poker Face, I love this episodic storytelling where each episode feels like a mini-movie. How does being on set on Poker Face for television feel compared to a film?
