FilmingLandmanEpisode 7 wasn’t just another day on set; it was a total chill factory. Taylor Sheridan’s weird daddy-daughter scene left the cast on edge, but Michelle Randolph? She was downright spooked. The unsettling vibe was all part of Sheridan’s genius, crafting a moment that oozed discomfort.
But the tension wasn’t just on-screen. Behind the scenes, it was just as intense. Randolph had to dive into her deepest fears, making her performance hauntingly real
Awkward, intense, unforgettable: Taylor Sheridan’sLandmanepisode 7 delivers drama
LandmanEpisode 7 turned the drama dial way past ten with an awkward, spine-chilling dad-daughter moment. Michelle Randolph (playing Ainsley) found herself in one of the show’s most unsettling scenes yet — and it left her mortified both as an actor and a character.
The tension bubbled over at a patch party (yes, held at an oil field) where Ainsley, fresh to Midland’s social chaos, met Ryder, a charming football player. But the evening spiraled fast.
Ainsley’s dad, Tommy, stormed in, yanked Ryder off her in the bed of a pickup truck, and delivered an epic throat-punch before dragging his daughter away. His parting shot? A fiery one-liner about karma and daughters:“I hope you get married one day and have a daughter who’s hotter than a two-dollar Rolex!”Classic Tommy.

Randolph recalled shooting the scene as anything but smooth. She talked about the emotional weight and logistical chaos. Filming stunts on a windy night, with extras everywhere, stretched into the early hours — adding exhaustion to the mix. She admitted (viaTV Line):
It’s so, oh my gosh. That was, like, one of the last days that we shot of the show; even though it was in Episode 7, we shot entirely out of order. And after playing a character for so long, you start to feel their emotions, I felt mortified. Like, I don’t know if I was mortified as Michelle, or as Ainsley, or a combination of the two. But to have someone on top of you, and your dad rip them off? I mean, there’s no easy way to film that! So it was funny for me as well.
Randolph continued,
It was so windy, and we shot that scene for so long, because any time stunts are involved in a scene, it just takes way longer than you even think it should. And we only had two days to complete that whole patch party, all of those scenes there. There’s a lot of extras. We shot that scene for so long, and then had to quickly move on to something else, and we were there till, like, 3 in the morning, and it was a blur.
But the tension didn’t stop there. Tommy later demanded Ainsley lie about being a virgin forever because, well, denial is his comfort zone. Meanwhile, a cartel member lurked in the shadows, keeping tabs on the family drama. Talk about layers of danger.

Taylor Sheridan’sSicariosequel storms Prime Video’s charts with grit and suspense
Taylor Sheridanisback on viewers’ radar, and this time, it’sSicario: Day of the Soldadoclimbing Prime Video’s Top 10. Known forYellowstoneand the grittyHell or High Water, Sheridan’s knack for suspense-filled storytelling shines even in this polarizing sequel.
WhileDenis Villeneuvedidn’t return to direct, Sheridan’s script kept the intensity alive. Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin reprised their roles in this morally gray cartel drama. Despite criticisms of a “half-baked” plot, fans are revisiting Sheridan’s hard-hitting narratives.
What makesDay of the Soldadointriguing is its darker tone and the absence of Emily Blunt’s moral compass, leaving the characters in a murky world of questionable choices. Sheridan’s decision to lean into the grittiness may divide audiences, but it definitely adds layers to the tension.
