Speaker 2: of Films to Be Buried With.
Speaker 3: Hello, and welcome to Films to be Buried With. It
Speaker 3: is I Brett goldste I'm joined today by an actor,
Speaker 3: a writer, a producer, a director, an award winner, a podcaster,
Speaker 3: a party downer, a Parks and RecA, a step brother,
Speaker 3: a hero, a legend, a Emmy multiple Emmy type severance.
Speaker 3: He's a hero. He lives, He walks among us and
Speaker 3: now here. He is live in person, but also pre recorded.
Speaker 3: By the time you listen to it, I can't believe
Speaker 3: he's here. Look him in the eye. You can't believe
Speaker 3: this is still going on.
Speaker 1: He's here. He really is. It's Adam Scott.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, I really am.
Speaker 3: Here, Adam Scott. What a fucking pleasure. Thank you for doing.
Speaker 4: This, Brett, Thank you for having me. It's it is
Speaker 4: strange when you listen to a podcast a lot and
Speaker 4: you kind of get used to the beats and the
Speaker 4: and the format and everything, and then you're there in
Speaker 4: it on the show. It's weird. It's great. Thank you
Speaker 4: for having me. I'm excited to do this podcast and
Speaker 4: to talk to you.
Speaker 3: I'm delighted you're you're doing it, and we'll find out
Speaker 3: if you really are. Someone who listens to the podcast,
Speaker 3: someone who will remain nameless, came on and said they
Speaker 3: were a fan, and then I told them they died,
Speaker 3: and they said what and they shocked that that was
Speaker 3: even part of it, and being like, why are we
Speaker 3: talking about death so much? I was like a messive, Oh,
Speaker 3: that's fantastic anyway. I mean, La, where are you?
Speaker 1: You're in LA?
Speaker 4: I'm in New York City.
Speaker 1: The Big Apple there he is. Have you heard that?
Speaker 1: I've heard of the Big Apple? Yeah? Yeah, people call
Speaker 1: it that. Why it's called that.
Speaker 4: I certainly I don't know, but you know what, I
Speaker 4: love it and I love calling it that.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not.
Speaker 4: Going to act like this for the whole show. I'm
Speaker 4: sorry why I was doing that.
Speaker 1: Do you live there normally or are you just there
Speaker 1: because you're filming?
Speaker 4: I live in LA normally and I'm here shooting Severance,
Speaker 4: and I am away from my family for enormous amounts
Speaker 4: of time, and it's a total bummer. But it's super
Speaker 4: fun making the show, so you know, to figure it out.
Speaker 1: It's a great, great, great show.
Speaker 3: I love Severance, and I wanted to talk to you
Speaker 3: about it, only if you're not sick of talking about it,
Speaker 3: because I'm sure you do lots of press. But I
Speaker 3: think it's a great show. That class amazing, it's brilliantly clever,
Speaker 3: it's interesting. I have watched it wondering if it is
Speaker 3: depressing to make, purely because you're in a kind in
Speaker 3: most of the sets have kind of nothing to look at.
Speaker 3: You're in quite an enclosed space, often just a few
Speaker 3: of you. I wonder if your daily life of it
Speaker 3: Unless everyone's really fun, which I hope they are and
Speaker 3: they seem to be.
Speaker 1: It's a show about a grind. Is it a grind
Speaker 1: to make?
Speaker 4: Well, it's hard to make, And the way I kind
Speaker 4: of think about it is it's hard to make, but
Speaker 4: it should be. I mean, you know, just look at it.
Speaker 4: Of course, it's hard to make, but it's hard in
Speaker 4: a fun, challenging Let's try and climb the mountain sort
Speaker 4: of way as far as that stuff goes. Yeah, because
Speaker 4: we're under actual fluorescent lights for you know, fourteen hours
Speaker 4: at a time, and we're in that desk kind of
Speaker 4: pod in the middle of that big room. There's that
Speaker 4: four pronged kind of desk thing, and so the four
Speaker 4: of us are out kind of in this sea of
Speaker 4: green carpet under fluorescent lights these long scenes, and yeah,
Speaker 4: it can start to kind of drain you just those
Speaker 4: lights and like you said, the sort of nothingness of
Speaker 4: the space and the aggressive green carpet, it does sort
Speaker 4: of drain your your energy after a while. But you know,
Speaker 4: luckily everyone's super fun. Like you said, it's a great
Speaker 4: group of people.
Speaker 3: I remember an interview with you very long time ago.
Speaker 3: This isn't I'm not about to like ruin your life.
Speaker 3: I remember a very racist thing you said. No, it
Speaker 3: was you you were talking about years ago. You did
Speaker 3: an HBO show before you were kind of very well established,
Speaker 3: and it was like a sex show and it was
Speaker 3: very dramatic, and you you felt like, fuck, I don't
Speaker 3: think this is what I want to be doing. And
Speaker 3: luckily it didn't carry on, and then you got into
Speaker 3: comedy and you felt like this was your place, right,
Speaker 3: I'm not missing.
Speaker 4: Well, no, yeah, I think you're remembering it correctly. It
Speaker 4: was a really good show. It was called tell Me
Speaker 4: You Love Me, and it was really kind of beautifully
Speaker 4: made and it wasn't exploitive. It was very kind of
Speaker 4: graphic sexually for sure. And the person I had all
Speaker 4: my scenes was Sonya Walker. It was this brilliant actor
Speaker 4: and we became good friends and stuff. She's so great
Speaker 4: and the people that created are great and stuff. I
Speaker 4: think it was just really super super heavy. And when
Speaker 4: I went and did like Step Brothers, I think we
Speaker 4: had done the first season of Telling Me You Love
Speaker 4: Me and then on hiatus before we were going to
Speaker 4: start season two.
Speaker 1: I did Step Brothers.
Speaker 4: And I didn't really had an opportunity to really like
Speaker 4: be in a comedy like that before. It was pre
Speaker 4: party down, pre parks and rec and so. But driving
Speaker 4: to work at Step Brothers, it was like, Wow, this
Speaker 4: is this is very different. This is really fun and
Speaker 4: you know, just trying driving to work trying to figure
Speaker 4: out how you're not going to laugh and Ruin takes
Speaker 4: that day rather than driving to work trying to figure
Speaker 4: out how you're going to cry all day.
Speaker 1: It just was a it was a sort of a.
Speaker 4: Weight off, and it kind of got me sort of,
Speaker 4: you know, addicted to to comedy, and really, I don't know,
Speaker 4: I guess I felt like it gave me a new lead,
Speaker 4: so because I wasn't sure. You know, every like five
Speaker 4: or seven years, I don't know if you do this,
Speaker 4: but every five or seven years, you kind of stop
Speaker 4: and wonder if you want to be doing this? Yeah,
Speaker 4: does that happen to you?
Speaker 3: It's a weird question adian that I always know I
Speaker 3: want to be doing some area of this tom stuff.
Speaker 3: But in terms of the lane you're in, I suppose
Speaker 3: it depends on your choices though as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you're right, because I'm talking specifically about acting,
Speaker 4: but then there's writing and doing all these other things.
Speaker 4: I think with acting, because that's what I started out
Speaker 4: doing when I was like twenty I'm now in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty three, in my thirtieth year of trying to do
Speaker 4: this professionally, I think that I was going after it.
Speaker 4: I was just a kid and going after it so hard,
Speaker 4: and I think at a certain point I've realized I
Speaker 4: was like twelve years in and I had never stopped
Speaker 4: to consu or if I even wanted to still be
Speaker 4: doing this. It was just like trying to achieve something.
Speaker 4: So anyway, it's a long cul de sac away from
Speaker 4: just trying to say like the step Brothers and party
Speaker 4: down in Parks or this sort of triumvirent of jobs.
Speaker 4: That kind of gave me a new lease on it
Speaker 4: and on the profession and made me really kind of
Speaker 4: really realize how much I wanted to be doing this
Speaker 4: at a time that I had been doubting it.
Speaker 3: So then I guess my question is with severance, which
Speaker 3: is funny but it's definitely a drama, I would say
Speaker 3: it's very funny but definitely drama.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Was it just fucking out this is really good, I
Speaker 3: want to do this, or was part of it I'd
Speaker 3: like to head back into that dramay place. Was it
Speaker 3: more conscious on that way?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think it was.
Speaker 4: I think when Partson rec ended, I wanted to find
Speaker 4: something just different, and then you know, found that trying
Speaker 4: to find things that weren't comedy or try and get
Speaker 4: jobs that weren't comedy was challenging, And so I went
Speaker 4: and auditioned for Big Little Lies and got a part
Speaker 4: on that and that kind of helped. And then Ben
Speaker 4: Stiller sent me Severn and it was just sort of
Speaker 4: the exact exactly the sort of thing that I've always been,
Speaker 4: you know, wanting to do.
Speaker 1: And because as a kid.
Speaker 4: I was really in the you know, the Twilight Zone
Speaker 4: and stuff like that, and so, you know, I mean,
Speaker 4: my first instinct when I first read it was I
Speaker 4: will never get this job, you know, just because I've
Speaker 4: been in this business long enough to know that when
Speaker 4: you read something that's kind of that's great, I'm not
Speaker 4: going to end up doing it. And so but I
Speaker 4: had to think about it in a way that I've
Speaker 4: been spending all these years earning the chance at something
Speaker 4: like this. So luckily I ended up doing it, and
Speaker 4: it was exactly what I wanted to try and do.
Speaker 3: Like you said, you're phenomenon in it. You're very very
Speaker 3: very good in it. And season two are you know, like, man,
Speaker 3: I want to get back to comedy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh, you know, it is fine. As you know,
Speaker 4: it has a really unique tone and there's a lot
Speaker 4: of funny stuff in it, but a lot of it
Speaker 4: is Yeah, it's it's heavy. It would be fun to
Speaker 4: go and do something a little later on its feet,
Speaker 4: for sure.
Speaker 3: Well, let's wet. That's not a problem. I I have
Speaker 3: forgotten to tell you something, what's going on. No, it's
Speaker 3: silly because I think I mentioned earlier talking about someone else,
Speaker 3: but then I forgot. That should have sort of sparked
Speaker 3: it for me. But it's been a busy week. It's
Speaker 3: been a lot going on, and that's that's on me.
Speaker 3: That's actually on me, and so I'm sorry. It's not
Speaker 3: your problem. I just think I've been a bit distracted.
Speaker 3: But that's all right. No, Well, you're very kind to
Speaker 3: taking the time to do this, and I should have
Speaker 3: just said it.
Speaker 1: You you are, say you're dead? You died? Oh yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, god did he die?
Speaker 4: Well, now that I am kind of thinking back on it,
Speaker 4: because when you said that, it was a surprise, obviously
Speaker 4: because you could hear how I reacted. But now that
Speaker 4: I'm really thinking about it, I think you're right. I
Speaker 4: think I died.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, No, you you're telling the truth. By God,
Speaker 4: you're right. Yeah, No, I I died. I Oh god.
Speaker 4: It's it's actually embarrassing. It's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not it.
Speaker 4: No, It's not one of those deaths that just sort
Speaker 4: of projects dignity. It's no, it's a real bummer. I
Speaker 4: was on a train, an Amtrak train. This is one
Speaker 4: of those really long trips on it. Sometimes you can take,
Speaker 4: like if you go from Arizona to to northern California,
Speaker 4: it's like a thirty six hour am track, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it takes a long time. So I was on the train,
Speaker 4: it was it was a long trip, and so I
Speaker 4: had to use the restroom. I had to just kind
Speaker 4: of fresh and go in there and kind of brush
Speaker 4: my teeth and do all the.
Speaker 3: Things to do before bed. How many hours were you
Speaker 3: into the trip.
Speaker 4: It was about sixteen hours in and I decided to
Speaker 4: go to bed. I'd gotten one of the first class
Speaker 4: cabins that you spend money on thinking it's going to
Speaker 4: be a luxurious thing, but it's basically a metal box
Speaker 4: with beds that full down from the wall, and it's
Speaker 4: uncomfortable and incredibly loud. And I went into the bathroom
Speaker 4: to brush my teeth and do all that stuff, and
Speaker 4: I needed to change into my pajamas.
Speaker 3: And as I was.
Speaker 4: Changing, I was taking my shirt off. I had no
Speaker 4: bottoms on because I was going to put on pajama
Speaker 4: bottoms and I was taking the shirt off, and the
Speaker 4: shirt got caught on a hook on the wall. I
Speaker 4: guess a hook for a towel or something, and so
Speaker 4: it was caught up over my head. And as I
Speaker 4: stepped around to try and kind of free myself from
Speaker 4: the hook, I stepped into the toilet. Yeah, and then
Speaker 4: I lost my balance, and it's a very small bathroom.
Speaker 4: I fell sideways and hit my head on the side
Speaker 4: of the sink, ejected my foot from the toilet, and
Speaker 4: then fell face first into the toilet.
Speaker 1: Your head was still stuck in this wet head, still
Speaker 1: stuck in the sweater.
Speaker 4: But now it's all in the toilet, and my sweater
Speaker 4: plugs up the toilet and it fills with that that
Speaker 4: blue liquid. And I drowned in blue turd liquid. Other
Speaker 4: than that sweater caught around my face that I drowned in,
Speaker 4: I was completely nude.
Speaker 1: Jesus, so sorry. That is. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The problem with dying like that is, unfortunately, you've done
Speaker 3: so much work in your life.
Speaker 1: You've done so much great, great work.
Speaker 3: You've done classic series and made excellent films, and that's
Speaker 3: what you're going to be remembered for Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: That's That's the only thing I'll be remembered for you,
Speaker 4: which is why I'm so bummed.
Speaker 3: Out about it.
Speaker 1: That a bummer. Oh well do you do? You do
Speaker 1: you worry about that? I do.
Speaker 4: It's been a preoccupation of mine since I was like
Speaker 4: fourteen years old.
Speaker 1: I think, right, that's what I like to hear. What
Speaker 1: do you That's the bread and butter of this show,
Speaker 1: isn't it.
Speaker 3: I don't trust people who don't think about it what
Speaker 3: I mean with it. I hope this isn't a dark answer.
Speaker 3: It may be, and that's fine. Did something happen when
Speaker 3: you're fourteen? Or did it it was when you started
Speaker 3: thinking about it.
Speaker 4: I remember I was homesick. I had like a flu
Speaker 4: or something, and so I was just home by myself,
Speaker 4: and I started thinking about what if I got cancer.
Speaker 4: It's not unheard of for a fourteen year old to
Speaker 4: get cancer. It totally happens. Maybe that's what's going on
Speaker 4: with me now, and it's maybe it's not a flu.
Speaker 4: Maybe I have cancer. What would happen if I had cancer?
Speaker 4: There's a chance I would die. I could die. And
Speaker 4: I just started going down that rabbit hole of this
Speaker 4: being a distinct possibility, never having really considered that before
Speaker 4: as a kid, and from then on. I remember, for
Speaker 4: the first few years after this revelation that i'd sort
Speaker 4: of privately made when I saw some I remember going
Speaker 4: to see young guns in the theater and seeing people
Speaker 4: get shot and just being like, Oh my god, every
Speaker 4: single one of them died. They died dead. Forever, those
Speaker 4: people are all dead. And so death was just very
Speaker 4: much at the forefront of my mind for years and years,
Speaker 4: and I guess it still is. It's just more kind
Speaker 4: of did it, but it still freaks me out.
Speaker 3: What do you think happens when you die? Do you
Speaker 3: think there's anything beyond this life?
Speaker 4: I don't at all think there's anything, But there's also
Speaker 4: that thing in the back of anyone's mind that you
Speaker 4: have this kind of ongoing fantasy of what it would
Speaker 4: be if it did. It was almost like this denial.
Speaker 4: Even though I do not believe in ghosts or spirits
Speaker 4: or anything like that, and in fact, I'm always surprised
Speaker 4: at how many people do. Not that I completely respect
Speaker 4: anyone's belief in that, but I always am so surprised
Speaker 4: when people grown ups believe in ghosts and stuff. It
Speaker 4: always is weird, but I think people legitimately have these
Speaker 4: experiences that leads them to that, which totally makes sense.
Speaker 1: I guess what's your fantasy vision then, just.
Speaker 4: This sort of thing where you're just sort of forever
Speaker 4: around and looking down on everything and kind of all
Speaker 4: knowing and I don't know. I guess it's sort of
Speaker 4: ill defined. It's just sort of this this sort of.
Speaker 1: A cloud.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, not a cloud as much as just sort
Speaker 4: of the upper corner of a room, just sort of that's.
Speaker 3: Awful, Just hanging out in the corner of the room
Speaker 3: watching with an erection.
Speaker 1: That's awful.
Speaker 4: Yeah, still nude from the waist down, sweater over my head.
Speaker 1: Just trying to get through the city water in the
Speaker 1: other corner.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna move over to the other corner and watch
Speaker 4: from there.
Speaker 3: What about you, Oh, well, you know exactly what happens, Jordan.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well there's a heaven, buddy, boy, there is Okay,
Speaker 5: there is guy and you guy there for a bit
Speaker 5: until you want to, you know, have another guy on
Speaker 5: the out on the ride.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like so it is like the Pixel
Speaker 3: film So in which they know exactly what's going on. Wow, anyway,
Speaker 3: you're welcoming heaven. They're actually one of the things we
Speaker 3: had a chat about in heaven. We were like, will
Speaker 3: we talk to him about anything else other than the
Speaker 3: way he died? And we all just say, no, this
Speaker 3: is heaven. We should, we should, we should.
Speaker 1: Not make a void subject.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he gets a lot of that when he's up
Speaker 3: in the corner watching people in the world's talking about.
Speaker 3: So you're very very welcome there, and heaven is filled
Speaker 3: with your favorite thing. What's your favorite thing?
Speaker 1: Movies? Well, then you've come to the right place. Oh great.
Speaker 3: Everyone wants to talk to you about your life, but
Speaker 3: they won't talk about it through the medium of film.
Speaker 3: And the first thing they want to know is what
Speaker 3: is Adam Scott. The first film you remember seeing?
Speaker 4: Well, the first film I have of clear memory of
Speaker 4: seeing in a movie theater. I remember people telling me
Speaker 4: I had seen Snow White, but I don't remember that.
Speaker 4: The first one I have a clear memory of seeing
Speaker 4: was High Anxiety, the mel Brooks.
Speaker 1: Film Oh Wicked, I love him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's not one of the like mel Brooks
Speaker 4: movies that he's really known for. That's really kind of
Speaker 4: you know, in the culture as much as like Blazing
Speaker 4: Saddles and history of the world and stuff, and it's
Speaker 4: really funny and really well like it's really but as
Speaker 4: like a four or five year old or whatever I was,
Speaker 4: it scared the shit out of me because the whole
Speaker 4: movie is him kind of replicating Hitchcock films and different
Speaker 4: scenes from Hitchcock movies and a little like James Bond
Speaker 4: is like Jaws, isn't it the guy with the Silver Teeth?
Speaker 4: But I didn't know any of that. I didn't know
Speaker 4: Hitchcock or any of those references. So to me, it
Speaker 4: was just insanely scary, so much so that I found
Speaker 4: it on Amazon a couple of years ago, having not
Speaker 4: seen it since then, and put it on it and
Speaker 4: found those two scenes that I remembered so well, And
Speaker 4: I remember in the movie theater losing my mind and
Speaker 4: just screaming and freaking out and my dad having to
Speaker 4: pick me up and carry me. My dad's a terrific dad,
Speaker 4: and I think that he thought we're going to go
Speaker 4: see a hilarious Smellbrooks and it happened to be the
Speaker 4: one where there where it's you know, essentially a Hitchcock
Speaker 4: movie for all intents.
Speaker 1: I need no.
Speaker 4: I have an older brother and older sister, and they
Speaker 4: were there and were embarrassed and bummed out that I
Speaker 4: was ruining their Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 1: So your dad took you out, But they stated.
Speaker 4: I guess so as far as I remember, Yes, they
Speaker 4: were like, get him out of here, let's we want
Speaker 4: to watch this smooth.
Speaker 1: I love how exactly.
Speaker 3: I really really loved the song he sings in the land,
Speaker 3: the song that is the name of the film. It's
Speaker 3: like one of my favorite secrets.
Speaker 4: See I don't I don't remember that.
Speaker 1: We didn't get that far. Is that?
Speaker 4: Is it mel Brooks that sings it?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 4: In the lobby of the hotel.
Speaker 3: It's like alloungs like he's like a lounge singer. It's
Speaker 3: like the setup. It's like you have to sing and
Speaker 3: he doesn't want and it's all embarrassing and then he's
Speaker 3: like an incredible.
Speaker 1: And it's very time. Remember that.
Speaker 3: Look up the song. It will make you happy now
Speaker 3: other than high anxiety. What's the film that scared you
Speaker 3: the most, Adam Scott? Do you like being scared?
Speaker 1: Yes? And I love horror movies? Yes?
Speaker 3: Do you love him. Yeah, amazing. How many people don't
Speaker 3: on this podcast.
Speaker 4: No, I love horror move like good horror move. I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, of course, good horror movies. But I think
Speaker 4: Hereditary is the most recent movie that's genuinely terrifying.
Speaker 1: Terrifying. Ye, scared shit out of me? Oh my god? Yes?
Speaker 4: How long have it been?
Speaker 1: Sense of movie really fun?
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess The Strangers is that the one
Speaker 4: from like ten twelve years ago?
Speaker 1: With that one fucked me up to Yes? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah horrible.
Speaker 4: That was scary too, But Hereditary was really fucked up.
Speaker 4: But I think I remember as a kid it was
Speaker 4: a TV mini series that doesn't really count, does it?
Speaker 1: Can do? I might low it, let me hear it.
Speaker 4: The Atlanta Child Murders. It was a mini series on
Speaker 4: primetime television. Okay, it scared the shit out of me
Speaker 4: because I guess there were these things called the Atlanta
Speaker 4: child Murders and it was based on a real thing
Speaker 4: that happened. And I just remember watching it and seeing
Speaker 4: a car pull up above a ravine that went down
Speaker 4: into a creek and someone just tossing like a burlap
Speaker 4: sack out of the car and it just rolled down
Speaker 4: the hill and landed in the creek, the insinuation being
Speaker 4: that there was a child in that burlap sack, and
Speaker 4: I was a child, and it scared the shit. I
Speaker 4: was up till one in the morning for years worrying
Speaker 4: about the Atlanta child murders after that.
Speaker 3: You know, Hereditary is the film where there are people
Speaker 3: in the corners of this.
Speaker 4: That's right, Tony Collett's in the corner.
Speaker 1: Which is how you think death is. That's right. Maybe
Speaker 1: you're on something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, isn't she like sawing her own head off when
Speaker 4: she's up in the corner.
Speaker 1: God, it's scary. It's really, it's so scary. It's terrific.
Speaker 1: It's really good. What is the film that makes you
Speaker 1: cry the most? Do you like crying? You cry? Yeah?
Speaker 4: And I do cry quite a bit watching movies. It's
Speaker 4: real easy to get me to cry. Yeah, I have kids,
Speaker 4: so ever since we had our first kid, which is
Speaker 4: like sixteen years ago. Now, anything with like kids, I cry.
Speaker 4: But I remember in the movie theater really having a
Speaker 4: solid good cry at the movie in her shoes.
Speaker 1: Oh my god? What the Kurt's Handsome film.
Speaker 4: With Yes, Yes, Yes, and Tony Collette. Yeah, have you
Speaker 4: seen that?
Speaker 3: I have seen that and their sisters, their sisters, and
Speaker 3: it was yet another hands the film.
Speaker 1: It's completely completely different from the last.
Speaker 4: Yes, completely different, and equally.
Speaker 1: Like the Wild or something did the River Confidential and
Speaker 1: then he did In Her.
Speaker 4: Shoes, And I think it's just as masterful as La Confidential.
Speaker 4: It's just he's zeroing in on a period the life
Speaker 4: of these two sisters who are super different and do
Speaker 4: everything they can to hurt each other as much as
Speaker 4: they can and just can't connect, and so they decide
Speaker 4: to stop speaking for a period of time. And then
Speaker 4: at the end, Tony Collett's getting married and Cameron Diaz
Speaker 4: reads a poem at her wedding, and this whole relationship
Speaker 4: sort of, you know, before the wedding, they kind of
Speaker 4: come back together, and she spends all of this time
Speaker 4: with Shirley McLean at an old folks home in Florida.
Speaker 4: That's where she kind of finds her humanity again in
Speaker 4: a way. And then the sisters come back together and
Speaker 4: at the wedding she reads this Ee Cummings poem and
Speaker 4: I just lost it. It was so beautiful and I
Speaker 4: love that movie. It's a great movie. I never loved
Speaker 4: the title I always thought the title kind of gave
Speaker 4: the movie short shrift. It makes it sound silly or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes it sound that they're swapping swapping jobs.
Speaker 4: But it's a it's a terrific movie in it. Every
Speaker 4: time I see it, I lose it at the end.
Speaker 3: That's so great. Out of that film has not come
Speaker 3: up at all. Yeah it what he is doing this,
Speaker 3: that's great. What is the film that you love? Not
Speaker 3: critically acclaimed, most people don't like it, but you love
Speaker 3: it whatever anyone says.
Speaker 4: Well, I kind of feel like people generally like this
Speaker 4: movie or everyone knows it super super well. But I
Speaker 4: feel like it's frowned upon and people turn their noses
Speaker 4: up at this movie, particularly when compared with the one
Speaker 4: that came before and the one that came after. It's
Speaker 4: always sort of looked down upon. And that's Indiana Jones
Speaker 4: and the Temple of Doom.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: So my friend Jake Tapper, the newscaster, can't believe Yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: I can't believe how Sorry serious I think, excusing out
Speaker 4: for tap. Jake Tapper, let's see if it happens again.
Speaker 4: Can't believe how much? Because I, for me, it's my
Speaker 4: favorite movie it's not you know what, I think is
Speaker 4: the greatest movie ever made, But I may as well
Speaker 4: because it's my favorite movie because I was eleven when
Speaker 4: it came out and I still can't believe how incredible
Speaker 4: it is watching it. It's from that first crazy musical number.
Speaker 4: The movie does not stop. I mean, there are things
Speaker 4: in it that have not aged as well as other
Speaker 4: things in it, and I think that's all. You know,
Speaker 4: you got to just roll with that. But I love
Speaker 4: it so much. It's my favorite Indiana Jones movie and
Speaker 4: maybe my favorite movie.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't get enough of it.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 4: Do you like that movie?
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 3: I mean I haven't watched that one in a while.
Speaker 3: I see there's some kinds of problematic things in it.
Speaker 3: I definitely remember that. It's a proper fucking brilliant action
Speaker 3: sequence after action.
Speaker 4: It's it's crazy how these sequences. I still can't believe.
Speaker 4: I don't know how they did it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I have big stuff spot for The
Speaker 3: Last Crusade because I like this.
Speaker 1: I like them.
Speaker 3: I like them together very much, and the ending makes
Speaker 3: me cry when.
Speaker 4: He tells them to let go, because they they have
Speaker 4: that really tough relationship. And you know, now knowing more
Speaker 4: about Spielberg and seeing the relationships with his parents and Fableman's,
Speaker 4: that relationship makes a lot more sense. I mean it
Speaker 4: always made sense, but it makes sense in the context
Speaker 4: of Spielberg. And I remember him apologizing for Temple of
Speaker 4: Doom when Last Crusade was coming out, and that hurting
Speaker 4: my feelings.
Speaker 3: Oh listen, if you've ever I heard this podcast, my
Speaker 3: feelings are hurt. Whatever Spielberg says, Hook isn't very good.
Speaker 3: I made a mistake with Hook. I'm like talking about
Speaker 3: it's a fucking masterpiece, right, what are you there?
Speaker 1: Right? The other thing?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: Look's the best, right.
Speaker 4: And that's what it's It's about what it means to
Speaker 4: whoever watches it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's so beautiful.
Speaker 3: It's beautiful that in her Shoes means that much too,
Speaker 3: because it is not a film that I don't think
Speaker 3: anyone's talked about it in ten years, and this film
Speaker 3: was really that has stuck with you.
Speaker 1: I love that. That's cue.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I really like it.
Speaker 3: What is the film, on the other hand that you
Speaker 3: used to love but you've watched it recently and you thought,
Speaker 3: I don't like this anymore.
Speaker 1: It might be just because you've changed.
Speaker 4: I whiled it down to three, and I'm just going
Speaker 4: to pick one of them right now. I think it's
Speaker 4: Red Dawn the nineteen eighties one. Obviously, when I was,
Speaker 4: you know, thirteen or whatever, when it came out, I
Speaker 4: went to see it over and over again because it
Speaker 4: was so frightening, because that was at the height of
Speaker 4: the Cold War and we were all scared of the
Speaker 4: Soviet Union and stuff. But I remember trying to watch
Speaker 4: it a couple of years ago, and it you know,
Speaker 4: when you watch a movie that just clearly isn't holding up,
Speaker 4: and you're not even sure it still qualifies as a movie.
Speaker 4: Like it's just so haphazard and doesn't seem to really
Speaker 4: hold together in any real way, which doesn't mean it's
Speaker 4: bad or anything. I just also I didn't really remember
Speaker 4: anything from it, and I remember going to see it
Speaker 4: over and over again. Also, it's just so jingoistic and
Speaker 4: that kind of raw, raw America thing right in the
Speaker 4: middle of the Ronald Reagan eighties and stuff. I now
Speaker 4: find it deeply offensive, whereas then I just thought it
Speaker 4: was kick ass.
Speaker 1: It's weird that.
Speaker 3: Stuff, because you saw it so many times. There are films,
Speaker 3: particularly from the eighties, where you go, oh, I was
Speaker 3: obsessed with this film, and then you watched it, now
Speaker 3: you go, it's barely coherent. Yeah, so how come we
Speaker 3: didn't notice that? And is it like just the hype
Speaker 3: of it and getting caught up in It's weird that
Speaker 3: you didn't know when you watched it a million times.
Speaker 1: This doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 4: I think the and I love John Millius too, and
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure he directed that. I just remember the
Speaker 4: teacher walking at because during English class, a bunch of
Speaker 4: air troopers parachute down onto like the football field at
Speaker 4: the high school, and the teacher goes out to ask
Speaker 4: him what's going on, and they shoot him with a
Speaker 4: machine gun, and his shirt sleeves with his tie just
Speaker 4: burst into all the squibs go and he just gets
Speaker 4: shot and just scared the shit out of me. And
Speaker 4: seeing the teacher get murdered in front of the kids
Speaker 4: and then them all running out into a truck, and
Speaker 4: it just like the day after was another thing that
Speaker 4: scared everybody, all the kids growing up at that time.
Speaker 4: So I think it was more the emotional charge of
Speaker 4: the Soviet Union. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because and you know,
Speaker 4: when you're eleven or twelve years old, you're not at
Speaker 4: discerning or demanding an audience member.
Speaker 3: What is the film that means the most to you?
Speaker 3: Not necessarily the film itself is great, but the experience
Speaker 3: you had seeing it will always make it special to you.
Speaker 4: When I was in junior high school and elementary school,
Speaker 4: I told my mom I wanted to be a film
Speaker 4: critic when I grew up, and she was like, well,
Speaker 4: you should. You should write movie reviews. And so I
Speaker 4: started writing movie reviews for the school paper in junior high.
Speaker 4: And I would do them sometimes in high school, but
Speaker 4: junior high, when I was like thirteen twelve thirteen, I
Speaker 4: really started doing that and they didn't ask for them.
Speaker 4: I would just write movie reviews and give them to
Speaker 4: them and they would just put them in because no
Speaker 4: one else was doing. But my mom would bring me
Speaker 4: to movies so I could write the reviews. And I
Speaker 4: remember Good Morning Vietnam in particular being one from that
Speaker 4: period that was really fun and it was it was
Speaker 4: Robin Williams really breaking out in sort of a somewhat
Speaker 4: dramatic movie. It was it was pre Dead Poet Society.
Speaker 4: It was his first sort of. It was kind of
Speaker 4: his his crossover movie into like Oscar, you know, prestigee
Speaker 4: material or whatever. And it's a really great Barry Levinson movie.
Speaker 4: But I just but it's also super super funny Robin
Speaker 4: Williams kind of improvising as a radio DJ. And I
Speaker 4: just remember the that that period of time with my
Speaker 4: mom was really special because she would she would take
Speaker 4: me to all these movies Mosquito Coast and Platoon and
Speaker 4: all these movies from that from that period.
Speaker 3: That's nice, nice story. What is the film that you
Speaker 3: must relate to?
Speaker 4: You know? I remember when I saw Defending Your Life
Speaker 4: feeling like, oh, that's how I feel about everything real,
Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, And I was I think I was
Speaker 4: seventeen years old, and I had seen Lost in America
Speaker 4: and I had seen Modern Romance, but that was the
Speaker 4: one that just hit me at the right time and
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, wow, this is my guy. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that was a big deal. That was a big deal,
Speaker 4: and it had to do with death and life after
Speaker 4: death and his clearly his anxiety about all of that,
Speaker 4: and he kind of put it into this kind of
Speaker 4: perfect movie. I would imagine that movie comes up quite
Speaker 4: a bit on the show. I've heard it once or twice.
Speaker 3: So you were like about the people Albert Brooks, you
Speaker 3: were like, this is my ride.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I had grown up really loving and
Speaker 4: connecting with like Steve Martin and Letterman particularly, and those
Speaker 4: were like my guys. But Albert Brooks was this new gear.
Speaker 4: And Woody Allen as well was one that I had
Speaker 4: always loved as a kid, but then Albert Brooks was
Speaker 4: sort of this new gear. And then going back and
Speaker 4: watching Lost in America and being like, oh, I get
Speaker 4: this now. I wasn't quite connecting with this when I was,
Speaker 4: you know, nine, or whenever I saw it. And Albert Brooks,
Speaker 4: you know, obviously is one of the great comedy minds ever.
Speaker 4: Defending your Life will always be sort of my favorite.
Speaker 3: I think forgive me for not knowing this, but I
Speaker 3: also don't live in America, but that's no excuse. Have
Speaker 3: you ever done did you ever do Letterman? Having been
Speaker 3: a huge van of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did. I got to do it twice. Oh great,
Speaker 1: How was that?
Speaker 4: It was really amazing. I couldn't believe it was happening
Speaker 4: and really, and I didn't say it on the show
Speaker 4: because I figured it kind of goes against everything, like
Speaker 4: you don't want Letterman to react to you saying one
Speaker 4: of the reasons I'm doing this in the first place
Speaker 4: is so I could sit here with you, you know.
Speaker 4: So I didn't say anything like that. I didn't, but
Speaker 4: I I used to sit on my bed fashion it
Speaker 4: make it like a couch and pretend I was talking
Speaker 4: to David Letterman as a kid.
Speaker 1: It was, And so yeah, I did.
Speaker 4: I finally I got my brother to come out to
Speaker 4: New York so he be there because we were in
Speaker 4: The Letterman together. And so was Letterman a big deal
Speaker 4: for you growing up on the UK.
Speaker 3: I knew he was, yeah, because I was always sort
Speaker 3: of into American stuff. But it wasn't like we had it.
Speaker 3: Yeah you didn't. You didn't have access to it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: but I'm aware of what it means. That's very cool.
Speaker 3: What is are we doing this now?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well not it's the one people, it's the any reason
Speaker 3: people to what's the sexiest film you've ever seen?
Speaker 1: Others?
Speaker 4: Goot, I think it's sex Lives and Videotape. Good answer, Yeah,
Speaker 4: good film, great, great movie. Good god. It's one of
Speaker 4: my favorite movies. And I think also just hitting me
Speaker 4: at a particular time, and the fact that the main
Speaker 4: character is impotent and poor, Yeah, that that's just my
Speaker 4: that's absolutely my way in I mean, I am you
Speaker 4: know you you had me impotent? Excuse me? Did someone
Speaker 4: say impotent? I'll take two tickets. So that just sort
Speaker 4: of as a starting place, the main character being impotent,
Speaker 4: and it then proceeding to be this sexually charged, super
Speaker 4: intellectually erotic movie. Just the relationship and the sort of
Speaker 4: chemistry between I hate the word chemistry because I think
Speaker 4: it's overused people talking about chemistry between actors, and I
Speaker 4: think usually people don't know what they're talking about. But
Speaker 4: whatever it was that was happening between he and Andy McDowell,
Speaker 4: it was really special. And then also what was happening
Speaker 4: between Laura Sangiacomo and Peter Gallagher. Peter Gallagher and James
Speaker 4: Spader had a really weird, electric, aggressive former friendship. You
Speaker 4: could tell it was already dead, but there's this kind
Speaker 4: of violence to the way they spoke to each other.
Speaker 4: And then Lauris Angiocomo and Anime all those four there's
Speaker 4: just all this really interesting energy flying around and there's
Speaker 4: nari a sex scene to be I guess there's sort
Speaker 4: of is but no nudity or anything.
Speaker 1: It's just I remember, yeah, Yeah, what's your issue with
Speaker 1: people saying chemistry between next?
Speaker 4: Oh? I just feel like I feel like sometimes I
Speaker 4: and I guess it's more sort of entertainment press talking
Speaker 4: about or or critics sometimes I guess talking about the
Speaker 4: chemistry between actors or lack thereof. And sometimes I feel
Speaker 4: like it's not fair and it's completely subjective, like how
Speaker 4: do you know that there was no chemistry between these people?
Speaker 4: And what does that even mean? I think that And
Speaker 4: sometimes there is chemistry on screen and there's something going on,
Speaker 4: but off screen there's not an advice versa. I think
Speaker 4: it's more subjective then. I think sometimes it's talked about,
Speaker 4: particularly by press and stuff I talked about as being
Speaker 4: something more tangible than it actually is. I think it's
Speaker 4: more subjective.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sometimes the actor isn't even in the same room. It's
Speaker 3: very good at it, exactly.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's why I think, like, you don't know
Speaker 4: what you're doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a sub category troubling bone is worrying why
Speaker 3: I don't film? He found a rousing You weren't sure
Speaker 3: that you should Adam Scott. What was it?
Speaker 4: I guess it was because I was a little kid,
Speaker 4: but nine to five really got me going. Lily Tomlin,
Speaker 4: Dom Parton and Jane Fonda.
Speaker 3: Not predominantly sex film. What was what was throwing you
Speaker 3: off about that?
Speaker 1: Was it? Women working? Women having a job? Yeah? Women,
Speaker 1: I should be into this.
Speaker 4: Women working and like tying up, like getting the guy
Speaker 4: like Dabney Klemen, they take him hostage or something. I mean,
Speaker 4: I don't think i've seen it since, but I remember
Speaker 4: looking at the ad in the newspaper and seeing the
Speaker 4: three of them with glasses and pads of paper surrounding
Speaker 4: Dabney Coleman, and they're all so cute and they have
Speaker 4: these cool outfit like business suits on and stuff, and
Speaker 4: just staring at it and not understanding the feelings it
Speaker 4: was giving me. And I think if you find that
Speaker 4: original movie poster you'll understand exactly what I mean.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you it wasn't impotent between nine and five.
Speaker 3: This guy what is objectively the greatest film of all time?
Speaker 3: Obviously not Template Dam? What's the greatest? No your favorite?
Speaker 3: We're not talking Template Dame unless you also think Template
Speaker 3: Dam is the greatest.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't want to say that Godfather or Goodfellas
Speaker 4: because I feel like you probably get that or have
Speaker 4: gotten that a lot, and it's sort of.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't think I get good Fellaws enough.
Speaker 3: Oh really, if that's your if that's what was your
Speaker 3: answer going to be, you must speak your truth at him.
Speaker 4: My truth. It changes for me right now. I think
Speaker 4: it might be the verdict.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Right, so I think that's been picked.
Speaker 4: It's a great, really great movie, and it's sort of
Speaker 4: out of time. It doesn't feel like it's of a period.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 4: The filmmaking is so so sort of.
Speaker 1: Staid and still.
Speaker 4: I don't even know if there's much music in it.
Speaker 4: It's a really quiet, great movie with maybe the best
Speaker 4: performance that's ever been on film. I don't know. It's
Speaker 4: a pretty perfect movie. The other one that I was
Speaker 4: maybe going to say is Reds, because I think Reds
Speaker 4: is believable. But I think the verdict maybe for me, I.
Speaker 1: Love that other you just think it's perfect, just perfectly done.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's not, as you know, it's not the
Speaker 4: as wide in scope and everything as some of the big,
Speaker 4: grand and greatest movies of all time that I usually
Speaker 4: think of when I try and think, but I think
Speaker 4: the scale doesn't really matter. It's it's what you're trying
Speaker 4: to do and what you're attacking and how well you
Speaker 4: do that. And I don't think they take a wrong
Speaker 4: step anywhere. And the David Mannett script is there isn't
Speaker 4: a syllable out of place.
Speaker 1: It's perfect.
Speaker 4: And like I said, that lead performance in Jack Warden's performance,
Speaker 4: it's all perfect, right, right, what is the film? You
Speaker 4: could or have what's demized over and over again? Maybe
Speaker 4: Midnight Run?
Speaker 3: Right right, though I'm actually running a long time? How's
Speaker 3: that right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great. It also doesn't feel of a time.
Speaker 4: I think the music is really for whatever reason, it's
Speaker 4: a Danny Elfman score, and it's it feels a little
Speaker 4: out of time. It doesn't sound eighties. It's I mean
Speaker 4: there's some like saxophone and some like bluesy guitar, but
Speaker 4: not in an eighties so you know how like some movies, yeah,
Speaker 4: like The Tutsie is a perfect movie, but it has
Speaker 4: that montage in the middle with like a Christopher Cross
Speaker 4: song or something. It's just so weird or now it's weird.
Speaker 4: But Midnight Run has this super like cartoony action comedy score.
Speaker 4: And I love that movie. I think, you know, I
Speaker 4: figured that was one you might get a lot too,
Speaker 4: but it is. It's a pretty perfect movie as well.
Speaker 3: Tilight to be negative, Adam, So do it quick. What's
Speaker 3: the worst film you ever seen?
Speaker 4: I remember as a kid going to see Jewel of
Speaker 4: the Nile, Yeah, the sequel to Romancing the Stone. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and having loved Romancing the Stone so much, and being
Speaker 4: so excited for Jewel of the Nile. And I remember
Speaker 4: I couldn't have been older than twelve years old. I
Speaker 4: walked out. No, I walked out of Jewel of the Nile.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's not that bad, Like I said, I went
Speaker 4: and saw a Temple of Doom the probably nineteen times.
Speaker 1: I sample of Dame promouncing this time exactly.
Speaker 4: I couldn't take it that And I love bad movies.
Speaker 4: I love bad movie so trying to figure out what
Speaker 4: the worst movie is Everest is tough because I seek
Speaker 4: them out, I enjoy them. But I think that's the
Speaker 4: one that I remember being so excited for in and
Speaker 4: just immediately feeling like I was getting ripped off. Do
Speaker 4: you remember that being a fun movie or a good movie.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen in years, but I saw it as
Speaker 3: a kid and I and I loved it. And it's
Speaker 3: got when the guy and gets tough, tough, get guy, Billy.
Speaker 4: You're right, it does have that. I think that's right.
Speaker 4: Remember the music video moted because I'd seen that music
Speaker 4: video so many times, was so charged up to see
Speaker 4: this movie because of the Billy Ocean.
Speaker 3: Video Emily in White Saints doing a synchronized Yeah. Absolutely, Douglas,
Speaker 3: that's right.
Speaker 4: That was in the same period as Dancing on the
Speaker 4: Ceiling too, Yeah, and Running Scared where they have the
Speaker 4: Michael McDonald's song where they're in the Tropics. It was
Speaker 4: kind of the milieu of the time.
Speaker 3: Good time for that stuff. You're in comedy, you're very funny,
Speaker 3: you're a professional. What's the film that made you love
Speaker 3: the most?
Speaker 4: The aforementioned Defending Your Life was deeply, deeply funny, the
Speaker 4: Past Life's Pavilion. I remember my friend and I going
Speaker 4: to see it twice the first day we saw it
Speaker 4: because we had to see that scene again. But I
Speaker 4: think since I've already mentioned that movie, I think as
Speaker 4: a kid, like a little kid, like seven eight years old,
Speaker 4: my mom brought me to Holy Grail Monty Python's Holy
Speaker 4: Grail and.
Speaker 1: At a revival theater.
Speaker 4: I remember falling out of my chair during the it's
Speaker 4: only a fleshruan scene, and just of course, you know,
Speaker 4: that's a great movie for kids. I mean it's disgusting
Speaker 4: and bloody, but any kid would love because you feel
Speaker 4: like you're breaking a rule of some sort watching this
Speaker 4: movie and it's so so funny and just great. The filmmaking, too,
Speaker 4: is really really good filmmaking, really good. All of their films,
Speaker 4: like The Mine is fucking must in every absolutely absolutely,
Speaker 4: like that is a great film. Forget the comedy, forget everything.
Speaker 4: I'm like, that is such a well made film. I
Speaker 4: totally agree. They were doing like handheld stuff out in
Speaker 4: the forest. It's so fun so good.
Speaker 3: Adam Scott, you have been an absolute pleasure and a joy. However,
Speaker 3: when you were on your thirty six hour train journey
Speaker 3: Amtrak and you're sixteen hours in and you fought probably
Speaker 3: time for bed, pulled down your slab of a bed
Speaker 3: off the wall, you went to pull your jumper off, sweater, sorry,
Speaker 3: you put your foot at the toilet, You got your head,
Speaker 3: caught your bangs your head, you fell, got your foot
Speaker 3: out of the toilet, fell forward headfirst in is a toilet,
Speaker 3: got your head stuck in the toilet and as the
Speaker 3: blue liquid often used to denote a period in a advert.
Speaker 4: For that's so, that's the same exact liquid. I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, so it's Sandra Das. I do know the difference.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: The blue liquid filled. It's quite a cashmere sweater, wasn't
Speaker 3: it really?

Speaker 3: sweater and it blocks out waterboard lovely. You're basically water
Speaker 3: boarded yourself in the in the shizzy water. Anyway, took
Speaker 3: ages for you to die. I was waiting to pick
Speaker 3: you up when you arrived. So this was got sixteen
Speaker 3: hours later. I think everyone gets off the train. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I don't think Adam got off the train. I've got
Speaker 3: a coffin with me, you know what I'm like, say,
Speaker 3: can I just pop in check on my check on Adam,
Speaker 3: knock on your thing anyway, find you. You have swelled
Speaker 3: up to the size of four Adam Scott's just filled
Speaker 3: with blue.
Speaker 1: Blue, all blue. Yeah yeah, and you're completely blue.
Speaker 3: You look like a violet by regard in the end
Speaker 3: of Johnny in the profectory and anyway, so me and
Speaker 3: the guy, I say, you've got one of them sort
Speaker 3: of fire axes, you know, is yeah cool?
Speaker 1: So coming we start chopping into.
Speaker 3: Your shit and blue is guy everywhere anyway, turds just
Speaker 3: hitting the guy in the fir Sorry about my friend
Speaker 3: that keeps saying, anyway, chop you up, get all the
Speaker 3: bits of blood. But it's basically blubber now and putting

Speaker 3: much more of you than I was expecting. You just
Speaker 3: have to really jam it all in. Yeah, there's no
Speaker 3: room in this coffin. There's enough room to slip one
Speaker 3: DVD into the side for you to take across to
Speaker 3: the other side. And on the other side this movie
Speaker 3: night every night. What film are you taking to show
Speaker 3: when it's your turn, Adam Scott?
Speaker 4: I think that movie that would go and it's gonna
Speaker 4: go well because it has sort of a blue theme.
Speaker 4: Color wise, the palette of the movie is predominantly blue.
Speaker 4: I think I might bring heat with me. Great, yeah,
Speaker 4: all right, that's a fun movie.
Speaker 1: Watch it. Great movie. You've got to it as well.
Speaker 3: It's long, it's long, three hours you're dead, you heaven
Speaker 3: you got time?
Speaker 4: Yeah, watch it over and over again.
Speaker 1: Adam Scott, what's a delight. Thank you so much for doing.
Speaker 3: This, Brad, thank you for having me. Ah, I'm so
Speaker 3: greatful you did it. Man, is there anything you would
