SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for “The Big Pump,” Season 2, Episode 10 of “Poker Face,” now streaming on Peacock.

The latest episode of “Poker Face” brings back Clea DuVall, the director behind the camera for an adrenaline-filled murder mystery set in a gym. Fans will remember DuVall from her guest appearance as Charlie’s estranged sister in the Season 1 finale, leaving their relationship in question. Now, in Season 2, DuVall returns to direct an intriguing storyline that involves a fitness trainer, a gruesome murder, and a hidden breast milk operation.

In an interview with Variety, DuVall shares her experience working with actors and how her background as an actor herself informs her directing style. She emphasizes the importance of learning from experienced directors and bringing those insights to her own projects.

“The Big Pump” follows the story of fitness trainer Brick (played by Method Man), who accidentally kills Rodney (Jason Ritter) by throwing a discus during a confrontation about Brick’s illicit breast milk operation. The episode sees Charlie teaming up with her new friend Alex (Patti Harrison) to uncover the secrets of the gym and solve the murder mystery.

DuVall discusses the challenges of filming the fight choreography for the murder scene, working closely with the stunt coordinator to create a realistic and impactful sequence. She also delves into the visual storytelling techniques used in the episode, such as camera angles and zooms, to enhance the storytelling.

The gym setting in this episode offers a new and exciting backdrop for the show, with DuVall praising the production designer for their work in creating a unique environment for the characters to navigate. She also highlights the comedic elements of the episode, particularly the interactions with the macho men in the gym.

She also acknowledges the impact of “But I’m a Cheerleader,” a queer classic celebrating its 25th anniversary, on her career and the importance of telling meaningful stories with queer representation.

In conclusion, DuVall’s return to “Poker Face” as a director brings a fresh perspective to the show, blending humor, mystery, and queer storytelling in a compelling way. With her unique vision and collaborative spirit, DuVall continues to make a mark in the world of television directing.
