A Veteran Stunt Performer Shares Tricks Of The Trade

Filmmaker and stunt coordinator David Leitch says it's easier to do stunts himself than direct his stunt performer friends. "You are responsible for their safety," he explains. "Your heart goes through your chest." His film The Fall Guy is about the unknown performers who put their lives on the line. He spoke with Terry Gross about barrel rolling cars, being lit on fire, and doing another take when everything hurts.

Also, Justin Chang reviews the new Wes Anderson film, The Phoenician Scheme.
