Welcome to a new episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast! This time, we’re diving into the award-winning comedy-drama 'Hacks', joined by the show’s production designer Rob Tokarz.
Rob takes us behind the curtain of creating the visual world of Deborah Vance — from filming in Singapore and building a full-scale late-night TV studio, to modular office spaces, wild Vegas sparkle, and a pool constructed for just two shots. We also discuss the devastating Altadena wildfires, how LA became a character in the show, and Rob’s dream of designing for 'The Last of Us'.
If you’re a fan of Hacks, production design, or just love hearing how TV magic is made, this is an episode not to miss.
