John Wilson Asked Steven Soderbergh for Advice Before Blowing Up a Car in 'How To' | Making a Scene

"How To With John Wilson" creator and director John Wilson breaks down how he turned an episode about bird watching turned into a conspiracy thriller involving the Titanic. He reveals the pain-staking process of finding a duplicate of his car, the ideal unsuspecting participant and the perfect location to stage an explosive climactic finale. He also shares a ton of behind the scenes footage, including a consulting call with Steven Soderbergh that morphed a conversation about The Cheesecake Factory.

3 seasons is approximately 7 seasons too few for this show to have run. Bring it back, John! It's too good!

[@GataZGinkgo]

I respect ending it early, it'd probably be stressful to promise more seasons. But, I think occasional specials would be great.

[@kenneld]

Better to end a great show too soon than too late imo.

[@andrewnicon]

He's an absolute genius. An uncelebrated master.

[@sammywiener]

Always wanted to hear the behind the scenes on this one, would be so dope if John made a commentary track for a physical release!

[@Jhordanshmu]

My god a commentary track would be amazing you're so right

[@mdellw]

Brilliant idea.

[@GataZGinkgo]

It would be great but impossible to listen to. 2 dueling John Wilson voiceovers?

[@belowaveragejoh]

@@JhordanshmuI mean the whole show is technically a commentary track. Anything beyond that would ruin the deliberate obfuscation of reality that the show is going for (i.e. provoking the audience to consider the artifice of documentary filmmaking)

[@nothere413]

Bruce Beveridge was an absolute gem. Great find.

[@smurfette_blues7922]

This peak behind the scenes is just as amusing and fascinating as the actual show. Now I want a box set of how to with audio commentary for every episode

He’s got the most wonderful impish grin…he knows this is an 8 year old child’s dream job.

[@dentxn]

I live in north Alabama so I grew up visiting Pigeon Forge, hilarious to see you do this in a Flapjacks parking lot lmao!

[@becknelson7692]
