I think that's. 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.520 Yeah, that's how all modern medicine is going these days. 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.120 That's why it's so hard to get it covered by 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.160 insurance because you have to have like the whole team 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.320 of doctors get on the bus at the same time. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.240 The yeah, and then they have to get in line 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.360 for like the shrinking ray and it's shrinking right. 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.160 It's there's like always delays. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.920 You know, there's only a handful of magic school bus 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.439 doctors in America's. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:31.600 Very nationalized practice. 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:36.040 Yeah, that's why there's so many good surgeons and Thailand, 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:41.040 because the average height in Thailand is only like like 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.240 two point three centimeters, so they can they can shrink. 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.880 It's very easy to shrink a doctor microscopic country. 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:50.559 Thailand. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.679 Yeah, there's there's a Taiwanese person listening.

I so basically I think it was 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:16.800 like May of twenty twenty. Like I used to have 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.680 a web series called Hot Topics with Beera Drew that was. 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.120 Oh I with your friend. I remember that. Actually, yeah, it. 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:29.320 Was basically just a feeble attempt to get No, it 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:30.760 was spelled like the store. 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.680 Okay, oh my god, my cat's just started fighting. 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:38.760 So this is this is the most chaotic podcast appearance 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:46.280 I've ever done. Sorry, apparently, No, it's it's entirely me. 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:51.520 It's the energy I'm bringing to it today. Yeah, let 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:53.680 me start over. I mean, you could use all of that. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.080 I don't really give a shit. I'm also going to 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.760 just turn down this heater that's going. 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.160 Okay, it sounds like you're like putting something in the microwave. 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.280 Yeah, I like it, or like I'm in like some 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.880 sort of like a joker cave of some sort. 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:10.760 Very I kind of am. 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.720 But yeah, to answer your question, it's I made a 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.640 trans joker movie. It's like a Joker parody of try 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:22.440 Todd Phillips Joker. You know, Warner Brothers didn't particularly like 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:24.639 that I did that, but I announced that I was 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:25.080 doing it. 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:25.440 In like. 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.600 They can eat. Yeah, that's what their deal was. 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.400 But yeah, So I premiered at it Tiff last year. 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.920 I haven't been able to see the film yet, but 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.120 it looks very cool. It's actually playing at the Applaza 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:47.080 Theater near here in like a few weeks, so I 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:48.760 am excited to go see it. To make a beauty 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:54.240 translated outing yeah we should, we should, but. 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:56.720 Yeah, I was. 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:59.679 I guess I'll start here because I was reading this 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:05.320 mor I forgot the uh the article, I forgot the 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.000 website that posted it. But they described your film as 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:14.760 a highly personal, incredibly irreverent, stylized memoir movie. 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.040 And I think that's an interesting. 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:24.040 Way to describe a movie about the Joker. So can 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:28.000 you tell us what made you, like, I guess, what 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.720 made you relate to the character of the Joker to 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.520 put Well, first of all, is that even true? Like 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.760 is that an accurate thing? That this is like a 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:37.879 bit of a personal film for you. 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.800 Yeah, that's like really the best description of it. 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.719 I think that's why it's like so like weird for 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:46.239 me to like talk about sometimes and get into it 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:50.359 because like it really was just like it was like 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:56.920 the most expensive like therapy I've ever done. Really, yeah, 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.639 I just like I don't know, like I really was 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.520 kind of inspired by Todd Phillips Joker like when I 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:06.120 saw it. Not not necessarily to make this movie, but 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:10.040 like when I first saw it, it was like just 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:13.399 such a weird experience because like I remember people talking 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.399 about how like they were going to be like fucking 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:17.440 bombs going. 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.760 On like shootings at every theater that yeah, I remember 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:21.440 that too. 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.720
