Speaker 3: here with the magnificent baz Learment.

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back. So we're going to blow the top of

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: some of these parties we've been to, not having wasn't that.

8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: You know, we were talking about this on now that

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: my wife didn't realize who you were. I was asking

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: a couple of questions like what do you do with yourself?

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: And in the movies?

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 3: What have you done?

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: I just didn't think called gat speaking.

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I would have said, like, oh,

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, I do kind of independent stuff like exploring

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: like subjects that no one's interested in, which is actually

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: what I do.

18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: Do you do?

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: I take things that people are not interested in and

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: try and understand why were they interesting in the first place.

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: Well, this is right, and this is it's not a

22
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: biopic for Elvis is No, it's not. It's from a

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: different angle we're looking at it.

24
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: I think it's honestly to me, it was like like

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: how you look at America in the fifty six, sies

26
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: and the seventies. But more importantly this whole idea of

27
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: the artist in the cell, you know, the show and

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: the business. Now in the show you've got Elvis, but

29
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: the business, well that's Tom Hanks. Yes, never Colonel never time,

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: Never Parker, it's Jian Bass.

31
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: The movie is phenomenal, really like it's trauations. I couldn't

32
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: believe it. I couldn't believe it. And the detail in it,

33
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: which is your job as well. So when you're on set.

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: We were just talking about Austin about this. Yeah, how

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: do you think you'd be described you relaxed on set

36
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: overly particular?

37
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: No, I'm always the same. I'm exacly. I am now

38
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean no, look, no, no, that's not true. That's

39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: not true. One. I absolutely believe that like any fear

40
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: I might how I have to check in, like check

41
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: in at breakfast. Well, because everyone has got fear, and

42
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: like you know, what we do is we professtionally play

43
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: for a living. And if you look at kids, little

44
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: kids can't play if they're scared. So I have to

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: remove all the fear and I create an environment. It's

46
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: it's somewhat fun, very serious. We get on with our work.

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: But it's professional play, you know. And preparation, I mean,

48
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: we just prepare, prepare, prepare.

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: Can we talk about preparation because we just spoke to

50
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 3: Buston and he said there were certain scenes where he

51
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: was preparing for months and months this certain scene, and

52
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: then you would rock up some days and go, I've

53
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: rewritten this seek.

54
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: And your question is challenge from you last time, like

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: why is this a shock? No? No, this and this

56
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: and actually that's true, but I testingly remarkable, which is

57
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: really true. So there's a scene, the scene in the

58
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: film where Elvis is because Elvis, like Michael Jackson, like

59
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: they sang all the lines. They wouldn't do no to go,

60
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: they just use their mouth. And the scene where Elvis

61
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: has got the big news sound and he's invoking the

62
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: orchest to do that all right, mama. For the Vager Show,

63
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: we rehearsed to a tape like a playback for six

64
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: months and we're they're doing it, and I'm looking and

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: I'm going, I go, is it just isn't real? It's

66
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: not working? And I could see viscerally he was terrified

67
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: and he said, I don't I can't do that. I said, Look,

68
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: they're real musicians. Let's unplug all let's get the drums out.

69
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: They can play instruments. Just be him, and that scene

70
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: is him, and that's that's happening. That's really happening. And

71
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: in all the testing as that becomes the number one

72
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: scene because you know, when he goes flames and all that,

73
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: he just made that all up. He just he was

74
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: was Elvis, because I mean, he lived as Elvis for

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: two years. You know.

76
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: Credit to you too, though, to go, all right, we're

77
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: going to tell the angle of the manager. And at

78
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: the same time, there's so much that we don't know

79
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: about Elvis that we thought we did. We thought we'd

80
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: heard our story. But you don't want to give parts

81
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: of the movie away. But there were certain things in

82
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: particular where you were. I had no idea about that.

83
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of friends of mine, one friend of

84
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: Betica said, I felt like I met someone I never

85
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: knew who was not into Elvis and brought into a

86
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of the Look. The thing about

87
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: him is he I mean the life you know forty two.

88
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: You know that line when he says, I'm almost forty

89
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: and I've never done no one ever remember me he

90
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: said that song I wanted to write. I never did

91
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: that series film and he said that. But what's remarkable

92
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: I think about it is it's a life in three acts.

93
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: There's rebel Elvis in the beginning, the first ever punk

94
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: And what people don't understand is there were no teenagers.

95
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: Teenagers were invented. Suddenly they're a market. This guy never

96
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: Colonel never to Never parker't plot twist right goes, wow,

97
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: I can He's a Carnival Barker. He says, I can

98
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: sell what he does to these kids, and they explode,

99
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: but they go beyond on pop culture their politics. So

100
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: there's that rebel. Then there's him in the bubble in Hollywood,

101
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: you know, like the River of Money, girls any he wants,

102
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: but he's in a bubble. He kind of fights back,

103
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: finds himself. That's all that, the comeback and the letter

104
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: and the gospel and then and then he's caught in

105
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: a trap in Vegas for reasons of which you have

106
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: to see the film find out.

107
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 3: Picking Austin was a huge, huge responsibility. There was talk

108
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: about Harry Stars, there was talk Miles Teller, did you

109
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: audition these guys?

110
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: Don't? I don't auditionally these really rich workshops. And I'll

111
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: talk about Harry only because Harry said it himself just recently.

112
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: First of all, Harry is really talented actor. I would

113
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: any work on something of him Harry.

114
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: Could he get the accents?

115
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: Could he do that? He wasn't that The real issue

116
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: with Harry is he's Harry Stars. He's already an icon'

117
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: like so you know, I think Harry and I came

118
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: to a place genuinely. I mean, he was just desperate

119
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: to put the suit on and explore it. He's such

120
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: a great spirit. And I have nothing but great things

121
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: to say about Harry Stars. But it was this thing

122
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: of like, you know, the thing about asked was that

123
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: he will tell you himself. I didn't pick him. It's

124
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: as if he was drawn, like the role draw him

125
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: in because he was almost born to play it. You know,

126
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: he had the We can talk about it now. You know.

127
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: He loses his mum in the same age that Elvis did.

128
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: He sends a video to me of this thing, and

129
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean it just happened like two years non stop

130
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: living and breathing as Elvis. He's now going through a

131
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: sort of d It's like deprogramming thing because he's been

132
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: a long time since he's known who he was.

133
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, because when you look at the size of the

134
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: films that you do and how much is involved, and

135
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: the success of this which is going to blow the

136
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: world away.

137
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: Well it's awesome. Man.

138
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: In the back of your mind though, you'd be thinking

139
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: what's next?

140
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: No, do you want any I you know? Da Vinci,

141
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: Leonard da Vinci. He liked to paint a bit. He

142
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: was big on making warmansh is. But his favorite thing

143
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: was the creation artistic creation parties. He never went to

144
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: the really yeah and I'm moving line myself, although I love.

145
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: To go to them in the extra space.

146
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll put there are no extras in my parties.

147
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: Everybody wants everyone. Everyone's got a spot. Everyone's got to

148
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: be in my parties.

149
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: We had to carry you out of the last one.

150
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: You know that's not true. I know I needed. I

151
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: need to give you guys purpose. That's what he carried. Yeah,

152
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,320
