Collider Access is an on-set interview series that brings audiences directly into the worlds of their favorite movies and TV shows. Filmed on location where productions are actually shot, the series combines immersive set tours, candid cast conversations, and behind-the-scenes storytelling to reveal the atmosphere, craft, and chaos behind filmmaking.
In this episode, Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh take Collider behind the scenes of Hulu’s Deli Boys, touring the meticulously recreated deli, Baba’s secret apartment, and Max’s outrageous casino office while sharing some of the funniest memories from filming Season 1.
During this exclusive Deli Boys interview, Ali and Shaikh explain how production rebuilt the deli set almost identically to the original pilot location, why the cast kept breaking during certain scenes, and how the set design helped make every location feel lived in. They also talk about improvisation on set, chaotic ensemble scenes, and the surreal experience of stepping into spaces that genuinely reminded Saagar Shaikh of growing up in a family-run gas station business.
From awkward gun scenes nobody could finish without laughing to snack raids between takes, this behind-the-scenes tour captures the energy that makes Deli Boys feel so distinctive.
