Through films like "Fury," "End of Watch" and "The Beekeeper" David Ayer has proven himself an auteur of visceral action and male emotion. His newest has him re-teaming with Brad Pitt to show off a side of the star (and himself) that we have not seen on screen before. Hear Ayer share how his time on a nuclear submarine helped him as a director, his philosophy of violence on screen, and how having a dog on set can make even the longest shoot days possible.
