Megan Lockhurst: An Analogue Soul in a Digital World

🎙️Episode Overview

In this vibrant, freewheeling episode, Steve Otis Gunn reconnects with actress and all-round creative Megan Lockhurst for a wide-ranging chat that celebrates movies, nostalgia, and roller skates. After a tech-glitched first attempt, the duo dive back in with even more energy—covering everything from Tom Cruise and Jurassic Park to slushies, pickles, and the tactile joy of Blu-rays. Megan shares behind-the-scenes stories from working on Havoc with Tom Hardy and Forrest Whitaker, the charm of 4DX cinema, and how her Canadian childhood played out like a scene from Stand By Me. This episode also explores the evolving landscape of entertainment—what AI might take from cinema, and what it can never replace.

Highlights include:

• Growing up in an analogue world in Canada before smartphones
• Unexpected production twists while filming, including a broken camera crane on Havoc
• Practical effects and why Jurassic Park is still impressive
• Roller skating as therapy, rebellion, and a return to joy
• Why Cinemas, DVDs, and fresh air still matter in the streaming era

This episode is a must-listen for movie lovers, nostalgic Gen Xers and Millennials, and anyone who thinks the 90s might be the last great decade
