Speaker 1: twice and one day. So it's not often in my

53
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: life that I can say I saw the same movie

54
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,560

Speaker 1: that's on Netflix twice in one day. So that's a compliment, man,

56
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know, first of all,

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: he has some people in that I really loved the

58

59
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: talk about But before I get into store, just complimenting

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: all about the movie. Tell us about Uncorked the premise

61
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: and how how you developed it. Yeah, I mean it

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: really started from a place of you know, I wanted

63
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: to make sure I wanted to write, uh and direct

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: a movie, and I wanted to you know, obviously, it's

65
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: like I went to fund that felt kind of personal

66
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: because I could sort of, um, you know, find my

67
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: voice that as writing when you writing television, you know,

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: you're often writing in other people's voices, and so I

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: wanted to find mine. And I felt like I was

70
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: a big I love father's son dynamic stories, and I

71
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: often felt like with black fathers and son stories, usually

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: the spine up why the father that I have conflict

73
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: because the father was absent and I just wasn't my

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: experience and like a lot of friends of my un experiences,

75
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: and so I wanted to see and I thought, like

76
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: white people get to sort of have a experience in

77
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: my father some movies where they get the kind of

78
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: be basic. Like if you think about Good World Hunting

79
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: or Manchester About to See, you know that that that

80
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: you can get to be kind of regular. And I thought,

81
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: and being basically regular is what you find your humanity.

82
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: And so I wanted to see if my men to

83
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: be regular, not be you know, not about our pain

84
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: or our trauma. Is just to sort of like, this

85
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 1: is what life is like kind of an everyday basis

86
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: for this family. And so that's sort of what drew

87
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: me into like waiting to tell that kind of a story.

88
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: Right now, here's the thing. Now I'm watching the movie

89
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: enjoying it, laughing. It's kind of like almost like a

90
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: drama day. To me, it's comedy with a nice little

91
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: blended comedy stretched out through a dramatic movie with a

92
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: lot of emotional values. It's a romantic story, is a

93
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: family story, is a common of age story. So it

94
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: had a lot of a lot of descriptive moments in

95
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: the movie that I enjoyed, and but the detail that's

96
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: what really uh took me back. The detail of what

97
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: was what he was trying to accomplish, the lead actor

98
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: is trying to accomplish. Talk about that, is that something

99
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: personal or where did the detail come from? Yeah, I

100
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: mean in my real life, the sort of jumping off

101
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: point in front of the family was really like my

102
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: my grandfather started her furniture story Compton in the fifties

103
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: when my grandfather had a stroke and couldn't run at

104
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: full time. My father would happen to be a college time.

105
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: My father thought out of college, could no questions to

106
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: ask and took over the business. And I was the

107
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: next son in lawn to do that. And I didn't

108
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: really want to do that. I wanted to be a

109
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: writer and do other things. And so again I wanted

110
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: to talk about again like that that angle. And so

111
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: I knew when I wanted when I was writing the

112
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: story that I wanted one part of the family studies

113
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: to be a family business, to be sort of more

114
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: blue collar. Um. And so that's sort of how I

115
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: got to barbecue. And I knew I wanted the son

116
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: to do something that was a little bit more elevated

117
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: and creative and the way that I was doing something,

118
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: and I just felt writing would be kind of visually

119
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: not really that interesting. Um. And I took a trip

120
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: to Paris for a cousin's wedding decoration wedding, and I

121
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: didn't even drink wine at the time, but I was like,

122
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: if I'm ever gonna like wine, it kind of has

123
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: to happen here, you know. It's like if you go

124
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: to New Orleans, and don't like go Bo to New Orleans.

125
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: You just maybe you just don't like go Bo. So

126
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: I was like, Paris is the spot for wine and

127
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: so if I don't like to hear and so I

128
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: took a class and the guy made it really easy

129
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: to understand one and what I was drinking. And I said, oh,

130
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: like this should maybe be what the sun should want

131
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: to do. This is kind of cool. And that's really

132
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: how I stumbled into that arena. And I was watching

133
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: documentaries and movies about songs and things like that, and

134
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: it just became and obviously as you think about your

135
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: like food and wine or digital pairings, and the way

136
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: that the father obsessed about the wood is the same

137
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: way that people obsessed about the grapes, and they became

138
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: obviously very um you know, things that became connectors in

139
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: the movie um once. But that's sort of how I

140
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: found the world of wine. Well you know that I'm

141
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: talking to the writer, director, and producer of Uh. I

142
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: would say, hot, new movie there's on Netflix. I know

143
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: we all in these pandemic TI. I would say hot

144
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: because I watched it twice. I see you just get

145
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: you know, I really loved the movie because my wife.

146
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: She's a kind of seue of wine. Okay. So when

147
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: I when I watched the movie at my office, I went, man,

148
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: that the detail, you know that because he wanted to

149
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: be a wine Somalia right and uh, and so that

150
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: was his goal. His dad was, like you said, Uh,

151
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: his father was a barbecue owner. He dropped out of

152
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: school to be to take over the business, even though

153
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: he wanted to be a teacher. And then all of

154
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: a sudden that he didn't want to do it, just

155
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: like you had in real life. You didn't want to

156
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: do the furniture store. He wanted to be He wanted

157
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: to be a condiseue of wine. He wanted to be

158
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: and like he said, as a as a very exclusive

159
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: club to be able to accomplish that task. And so

160
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: so if I watched that, so I went. So I

161
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: came home and said, I said, baby, uh, I want

162
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: you to watch this movie because the detail in this

163
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: movie about this wine because I don't drink wine, and

164
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: so and so she was so so so you know,

165
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: but I'm just amazed at the detail. Thats what I'm

166
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: going on. And we're not talking about the how you

167
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: were setting up the barbecue and chopping it up that

168
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: that whole world, because that's my world right there. When

169
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about Memphis. You I'm from Houston, Texas. I'm

170
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: a Texas boy. Grew up my nephew. He's one of

171
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: the best bobbycue people. Yeah, he one of the best

172
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: barbecue people in Houston, Texas. He got a little side

173
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: stand recognized her. He was on Kelly Clarkson for barbecue,

174
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: and so I know about barbecue. And so when I'm

175
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: watching the detail of the barbecue and then I'm watching

176
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: the detail on the whin, I'm going like, who is

177
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: this guy? You know, I said, Wow, the details. So

178
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: just talk about your attention to detail, Mr Penny. I

179
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: gotta respect Mr Penny. You missed a penny on this show. Okay,

180
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I'm gonna call you Mr.

181
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: Big Daughter. Okay, yeah, I mean yeah, you know, I

182
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: mean we didn't like we don't keep it like that

183
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: and uh but no, I mean, you know obviously, you know,

184
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: I worked you know, on my other show from Insure,

185
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: Like I've worked with a lot of amazing actors. When

186
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: you learn a lot from you know, you know, like

187
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, you just learned like from people who just

188
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: by how they work. And so that was one thing

189
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: that I felt like the movie had to be a

190
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: super spot on about it. It was like, like, you know,

191
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: Memphis is one of the how equated like the Mount

192
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: Russian cities the barbecue rights. So you got there. Surely

193
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: you have Texas barbecue, you have you know those Carolina barbecue,

194
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: you have this Is barbecue, and you have kind of

195
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: you know St. Louis, Kansas City barbue, kind of like

196
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: the barbecue. You know what I'm saying. The barbecue had

197
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, I mean it's real, right, And so

198
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: so I knew because the obviously in the movie that

199
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: the barbecue has to be so serious because that's the

200
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: dad is placed as a premium. I like, how important

201
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: the family business. So it's not just like you're doing

202
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: barbecue in l A. It's like you're doing barbecue a

203
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: place where like that's it's everything for us, and it's

204
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: it takes care of our family. It's more than just

205
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: the barbecue, right and so um so to me that

206
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: that just had to be official and so we Enlisten,

207
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Memphis barbecue places that are especially

208
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: black family places, like we called cozy corner um, you know,

209
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: barbecue shop. The places that we hired. A lot of

210
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: the background actors that actually have lines all worked in

211
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: barbecue spots. And so because I needed them to know

212
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: what they were doing versus like having kind of extras

213
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: coming in not really knowing what they were doing, they

214
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: had looked like they knew. It was important that all

215
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: the background people know what they were doing, and so

216
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: that was grand. Then conversely, in the wine world, like

217
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: we had what one of our actors who played one

218
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: of the black song teachers is amazing black son named

219
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: d Lynn, who was also a part of the inspiration

220
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: for the movie too, and and so obviously to have

221
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: him read the script and and really be teaching me

222
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: as I was writing the script about wine and things

223
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: like that. And obviously on the set we had another

224
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: wine person they running rat issues like our on set person,

225
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: like our day to day to make sure everything worked

226
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: and make sure everything looks a hundred percent official in

227
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: terms of how they hold their labs, how they you know, smell,

228
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: how they taste, and how they how they do everything

229
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, was so again that level of detail because

230
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: if you don't believe it, then you're just not going

231
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: to be into the movie. And and and the fun

232
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: part about it is that you used up and this

233
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: is a good word, comedic word. You used ignorance to

234
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: be funny. Like for instance, when he was saying he

235
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: wanted to be a Somalia and they go, you will

236
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: be you want to go to Samalia? You know, it's

237
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: just like and he goes, I ain't said nothing about Africa.

238
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's like he's like, you know, your your humor,

239
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: your writing style, man is dead on. But again you

240
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: gotta have the talent to be to pull that off.

241
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: And you're casting and was dead on man dead on?

242
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: I I would know. I won't tell the movie, but

243
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: the Nissy Nash relationship, uh, just coming out there just

244
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: just niece is just brilliant. And uh and then according

245
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: to advanced his role as uh as a dad man

246
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: that he if any black man is over for you,

247
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: that's your dad. That's that's courting advantage your day. He

248
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: was your day. And so I was looking at my dad.

249
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: You know the statement he has come out by racism

250
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: but anything, it was just irreverence. But it was just

251
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: about the whole process. And then the sun and I

252
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: want you to say his name, because I messed up

253
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: the lead guy who who really carried this role throughout

254
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: and really sold that sold me on the fact that

255
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: it could actually happen for this young man. But it's

256
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: a journey. So I just we're talking about the movie

257
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: on Cork and I just wanted to compliment you on

258
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: the ability to put a dynamic family story, wrap it

259
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: around a romantic story, and then with a seed of

260
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: trying to find himself and seek an opportunity along the

261
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: way that he doubted himself and he kind of believed

262
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: in himself, then he doubted himself. In the end he

263
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: made a decision that this is what I want to do.

264
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: That's that's fantastic man. Congratulations, it's finely here the season

Speaker 1: I just a lease because they say episodes, but I

334

Speaker 1: wait and buying the cash after the episodes and finished that.

335
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: The girls, man, they mad at each other. They but

336
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to the show, but I'm not gonna

337
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: give away the show. But this has been a dynamic

338
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: season man for for the relationship of the Ivan and

339
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: so talk about the steps of Oh, you know, because

340
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: I got a feeling I know where it's going because

341
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm an old school writer, you know what I'm saying.

342
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: But when I saw her coming coming down at that

343
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: line of the promos when she's on vacation, I go,

344
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: I think I know where this is going. And uh

345
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, okay, but you know about but but you know,

346
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: it's about relationship I can think about. I think you're

347
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: very gifted at that, you know, and being able to

348
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: write characters that are very human and normal and make decisions.

349
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: But this is what I'm complimenting you on um Insecure

350
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: is a very millennial type urban show. And then on

351
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: Court it's a family drama. Language is not even close

352
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: to the language and Insecure and you are naturally pulling

353
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 1: that off. That's a gift, my friend. You know, I

354
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: was a sitcom writer. I was talented, but believe me,

355
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: my skills didn't even come close to your life. I

356
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: could write a script, but you got a gift man.

357
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna sit on this show and act

358
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: like me being a sitcom right and you being a

359
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: sitcom right, that we were the same you are, your

360
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: skills said, is a blessing. And I got and I

361
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: get to see it every Sunday night on HBO, and

362
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: I got to get to see it probably gonna be

363
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: a third time on on Court on Netflix. Talk about

364
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: the whole process of being a show runner, your staff,

365
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: because we all know you don't do it by yourself,

366
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: and that amazing cast that you have with Insecure. Yeah,

367
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 1: I mean it really is a team that. I mean,

368
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: it really is a team effort. I mean we've been

369
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: each and I have been super blessed too. You know,

370
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: we like mostly had the same writers from the from

371
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: the first season, and so I think that brings like

372
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: a level of you know, people being super like familiar

373
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: with how we want to tell the stories and and

374
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: the way to tell stories and what works and what

375
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: doesn't work on our show, but still offering you know,

376
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: fresh new insight and fresh takes on it, uh, And

377
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: so I think that and obviously we have an amazing

378
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: kind between you know jay Evan Andsa of course, and

379
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: you know Amanda Seals, you know Natasha rock Well. I

380
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: mean so many amazing again, so much amazing kindly that

381
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: it just makes our job easier. And I always say, like,

382
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: when you first create a show, you know, the first

383
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: the hardest part at the beginning is like you sort

384
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: of write the character of the suit and then but

385
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of off the rack. And the longer the

386
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: care longer the actors sits from the character, you start

387
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: tailoring the suit for the actors, so not a suit.

388
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: It's better because the actors getting more comfortable with the character,

389
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, the writers getting more comfortable with the characters,

390
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: and then you get to get get deepers of the

391
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: character um and you can see like like to nuance it.

392
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: So it's been honestly, it's been a blessing to be

393
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: able to And you're absolutely right that that first season

394
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: of character development is rough because you don't really know

395
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: the relationships. But when you're into this fourth to go

396
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: into the fifth, you know, now you have the actors

397
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: coming up, and you didn't say something like that. I

398
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't say that that's not my cats, you know what,

399
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling the truth that because Yeah, they bought into

400
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: what you've created, and then all of a sudden they

401
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: want to keep it on course because of the fact

402
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: that that's why the characters are natural, and that's why

403
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: I buy into the anger that's happening between the two characters,

404
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: and and and it's gonna build up to I'm pretty

405
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: sure a tremendous season finale because of the fact that

406
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: it's relatable. I this is why I love it. Because

407
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: it's on HBO. There's not on Beach is nothing slam

408
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: on Beat is not on It's on HBO. We know

409
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: that's a dominant white network that's being renewed. That means

410
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: that the content that you're live delivering is relatable to everybody.
