But it has 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.600 been so much fun getting to know and working alongside Olivia. 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.119 She is such a talented actor and she's absolutely killing 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.600 it alongside Otis Danji, who plays boy who may or 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.119 may not become Peter Panty does.

Weirdly, I almost directed episodes of 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.360 a Little Lunch, but I was asked to by Wayne 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.240 Hope and Robin Butler, who created a Little Lunch. I 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.440 couldn't do it because I was doing the project. But 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.560 that's just a weird little symmetry. And Home and Away 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.320 fans know Olivia Deebel. She played Rappie on Home and Away. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.200 Was a big sensation on Home and Away.

Olivia is fun, funny, talented and bloody 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.640 creative and on bloody stokes to be hanging with her. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:55.959 To that, Hello, my name is Olivia Diebel, and my 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.720 three favorite films are The Lobster. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.000 Now. The fact that you're into an animal if you 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.799 fail to fall in love with someone doing your stay 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.160 here is not something that should upset you or get 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:05.560 you down. 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.400 The Three Billboards outside of Ebbing, Missouri. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.640 I don't think those billboards is very fair. 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.840 The time it took you to get out of here, 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.280 whining like a bitch willoughby some other poor girls probably 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.400 out there being butchered right now. 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:21.440 But I'm glad you got your priorities straight. And the Birdcage. 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.280 Madonna, Madonna, Madonna, but you keep it all inside. 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.880 And up until this morning, I had never seen the 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.919 film Eighth Grade How to Be Confident. 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.880 So I think one thing a lot of people think 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.040 about confidence is that, like you know, you're born with it. 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.120 You either are confident or you're not. You know, just 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.440 like how some people are tall, you're either tall or short. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.840 But it's not like that. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:04:02.080 Actually, confidence is a choice. Only awesome thing about confidence 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.800 is that you can just start acting like it, even 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.240 if you feel like you don't have any For example, 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.640 I used to like not be confident at all, but 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.000 then one day I'm like, hmm, I want to be confident. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.720 So then I just kind of started acting like it, 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:20.800 and then it made me feel good, and then I 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:27.200 actually started being confident, like without trying. And like, a 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.320 big part of being confident is being brave, and you 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.440 can't be brave unless you're scared. So for those of 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.720 you who are feeling scared about being confident, it's actually 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.920 a big part of confidence to be scared, and that's 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:46.720 normal because you can't be brave without being scared. So 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.839 go out there and just like be confident. 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.600 And if you don't feel confident, just do it anyways, 0:04:54.480 --> 0:05:03.880 make yourself confident, Okay. 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:08.400 So as always, please share and subscribe to a channel 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.760 if you guys like the video and thanks watching. 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.600 It's hard being a kid. It's always been hard, but 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.080 in the age of social media, it may be that 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.160 adolescence is as hard to navigate now as it has 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.960 been at any other time in human history. Kayla, played 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.400 expertly by Elsie Fisher. The film commenced shooting a week 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:30.160 after Elsie graduated year eight is a shy, awkward eighth 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.880 grader trying desperately to convince the world and herself that 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.839 she isn't shy and awkward through her video blogs or vlogs, 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.600 where she offers advice on how to appear confident and 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.360 putting yourself out there. On the eve of high school, 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.160 Kayla dreams of being part of a gang, a team, 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.200 a clique. It's not that she's overtly targeted by the 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.359 usual mean girls. It's more that Kayla is overlooked. She's ignored. 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:57.880 Kayla is invisible to almost everyone but geeky underwater summer 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.320 souldier Gabe Jake Ryan, her sweet and supportive high school 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.600 shadow Olivia, Emily Robinson, and of course her single that 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.799 Mark Day, played beautifully by Josh Hamilton, who is desperately 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:13.600 trying to connect with his only daughter whilst walking on eggshells. Remarkably, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.080 this seemingly authentic, raw take on a teenage girls journey 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.520 is written by a man, comedian Bo Burnham, who you 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.640 saw in Promising Young Woman, and he's brilliant lockdown comedy 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.400 special Inside. I've only recently come to this film, and 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.040 I'm so glad I have Olivia Deebel. Have you ever 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.039 looked into the eyes that they're as blue as Aiden's? 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.680 Yeah, or I very viscerally remember being that young and 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.920 having a crush on someone who looked exactly like that. 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.400 Oh yeah, totally like all of the slower and when 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.240 he had his shirt, we already agreed weren't going to 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.040 get into it, but just this I completely took me 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:48.600 back and I went, oh, yeah, no, no, yeah, I'm 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.679 with her and this and you're just kind of watching 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:52.720 it have no idea what to do. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.800 I did love the hard cuts, the aide and the music. 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:56.720 The similarity. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.680 Yeah, it was great. It was great, But I don't 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.440 want to get too far into eighth grade. Thanks for 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.640 fitting us in. You are extremely busy currently on stage 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:06.960 Peter and the Star Catcher. We'll get to that in 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:07.320 a monment. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:08.800 I'll see you, I'll see We've got to be working 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.960 for a few hours, and we're car pulling to work together. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.160 We are saving the environment in one country at a time. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.440 So we came to this film. I asked you to 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.200 do the podcast. You agreed, and then we spoke about 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.320 some films that we might do. Break Back Mountain came up. 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.920 It did it did and then I watched Broke Back 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.520 Mountain and then thought, perhaps maybe we weren't the two 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.200 best people to perhaps delve into the thought on this film. 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:33.120 Well, it's all cinema. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:34.440 It's a beautiful movie. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.440 It's a beautiful film. I haven't watched it for quite 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:38.040 a while. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.640 Actually, so also you'd seen it previously. 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.520 I saw when it came out. Yeah, right, yeah, everyone 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.640 everyone was seeing Breakback Mountain. But then I watched Eighth 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.760 Grade because it kept on coming up in people's top 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.200 three films. Frankie McNair had it in her favorite three 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.720 films a couple of episodes ago, and I thought, okay, 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.440 I need to watch this film. And I watched it, 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.480 and I just thought, because you are younger as with 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.760 most of the demographic I have on this show, I thought, 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.720 instead of me as a forty nine year old bloke 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.240 chatting to one of his mates about this particular movie, 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.480 I thought it would be interesting to have somebody who's 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:13.400 a bit closer to this. 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.040 I better still be your mate, though, Pete, you are mate. 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.160 Well, we'll see at the end of this. Sometimes these 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.240 conversations go pear shaped, Olivia, don't get me started on 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.800 Hamish McDonald and puns drunk love. Anyway, we don't talk 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.920 about that, so we don't know he's white. Yes, I 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.079 didn't think it'd be interesting, and you happily agree. I 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:33.679 think you said you had seen like a part of 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.199 it or a moment of view. 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.760 I've seen it advertised or some video of it. 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:40.439 Yeah, but you hadn't seen it, so I kind of 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.800 left on this opportunity. You agreed, so thank you for 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.679 doing this. And you watched it this morning, so it's fresh. Yep, yep, fantastic. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.040 Let's talk about Peter in the Starcast before we get 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.520 onto your three favorite films, because I must say I've 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.679 said this to you privately. Congratulations. You are absolutely smashing it. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.480 To see you from day one at rehearsals in Brisbane 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.959 a few months ago to every night where you kind 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.680 of rire the anchor for this story and you're driving 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.040 a lot of the story.

It was my first 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.679 time doing theater this big. I'd done the Rocky Horror 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.719 with and narrating it. This is having a role and 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.880 being there from day one totally different. It's really buying 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:35.840 in at every level. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.959 Yeah, And I think now because we're so we're so 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.559 polished with our performances now and like I think we're 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:46.240 really in some kind of a routine. It's just crazy 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.719 to think back into like I don't know if you 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:50.439 had these moments on this when we're on stage and 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.679 we're just like just I don't know, being a ridiculous 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.439 mollusc or like pretending to be an animal as a pirate, 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:56.959 and I just go back to Britain and I'm like, 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.880 how the fuck did we get here? Like how these 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.800 like initially we're just conversations and offerings or just like 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.000 jokes that we've begun that now are like set in 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.440 a play that we get to do every single night. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.160 Yeah, it's crazy, it's really joyous. 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:13.000 You should come and see it. 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.560 Definitely, come and see it. We're almost finishing Melbourne by 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.800 the time you listen.

It's genuinely it is 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.400 a five time Tony Award winning a Broadway play. The 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.880 review the local reviews have been astonishing, The crowds are 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.960 loving it. At the end of each night, it's hilarious. 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.800 It's got this kind of goes full panto and myself 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.160 and even Colin Lane get to kind of really play around, 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.880 and you know, the audience gets involved some nights and 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.800 then it just switches on the dime and this is 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.400 where you know your talents are remarkable. And then along 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.720 with Otis Dangi, who you played this really emotional scene 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.200 where people have gone from like literally pissing themselves, well 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:54.359 not literally pissed themselves. 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:58.800 L literally really we're really in big trouble with darts. 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.040 And then they are crying through your performance and the 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:06.880 connection that you guys have and what it means to 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.840 the Peter pan World. It's it's astonishing, and it's at 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.800 the end of I come off stage every night. We're 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.400 all beaming at the end of each night. It's it's phenomenal. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.520 So come along and check out Peter and the Star Catch. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:18.440 Let's talk about your three favorite films. They are three 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.280 great films. The Lobster is if you haven't seen The Lobster, 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:27.040 bloody hell. It is an incredible film Colin Farrell, and 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:33.319 it is the director whose name, yes, yes, he did 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:38.000 The Favorite Kindness and Poor Things, Pretty Things, Poor Things 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.480 with Emma Stone winning the Oscar for that. He is 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.240 a filmmaker to watch. And The Lobster is bizarre. So 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.679 the Lobster is about it's Colin Farrell and he goes 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:47.960 to a retreat where you. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.240 So you're so the world in which we enter with 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.959 the Lobster is like a reality in which if you're 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:56.800 not part if you don't have a partner, like a 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:01.720 lifetime husband or wife partner, you are you're exiled from 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:03.920 the community or just kind of from the worlds. And 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:09.079 so that typically transpires in that like you either get 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.319 taken away, or you run a recluse in the forest, 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.880 or you get turned into an animal of your choosing 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.240 as soon as you lose your partner, Like if if 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:19.640 you break up or something happens, you have to go 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.520 to this hotel. You have to get it initiated, or 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.960 you just need to find another partner. So Colin Fower's 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.840 character goes to a hotel and he has I think 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:32.520 it's like forty days, I think, to find a match 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.040 with someone and then they can be reinented in society. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.680 And if he doesn't, he gets turned into an animal 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.840 of his choosing. Yeah, and it's just kind of about him. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.280 I am I allowed to spoil it? Is that how 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:42.800 we Yeah? 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.600 Yeah, he can. There're certainly spoilers for eighth grade, but 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.360 also yeah, if you want to avoid spoilers with the Lobster, 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.480 maybe skip ahead a couple of thirty seconds. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.600 So he it's just about him trying to figure out 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.760 what he's gonna then do, and he does eventually find love. 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.360 I think it's one of the most beautiful love stories, 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.920 to be honest with you, and this kind of comment 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:08.680 on society and outlawing and keeping people apart. Yeah, and 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.080 I just I really I remember, I don't know if 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:12.560 this is the same with you. There are some films 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.440 that do just genuinely impact you. But I also think 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.960 it's very much about circumstance and like how it's introduced 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.720 to you, where you saw it, what setting it was in, 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:23.960 and like I remember I was I was on Home 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.960 and Away at the time, and I was four fourteen maybe, 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.040 and the guy a guy who was my co star, 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.600 and he played my best friend and then my boyfriend, 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.560 then a cousin sister's uncle in very true Home and 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.560 Oi fashion, and he was a little bit older than me, 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.760 like he was in his twenties, Lucas Radovich, and he 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:43.880 was watching it just like on a little I think 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:45.840 might be a computer and an iPad or something. And 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.240 I think it was like my first introduction into like 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.200 this kind of art scene in that regard, Like my 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.040 own parents had really educated me fantastically on film, but 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.800 as a young person with a slightly older person showing 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:02.200 me a kind of nuanced film about love and leaving, 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.080 and it was just I think part of it was 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.120 that he trusted me that I could take on these 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.360 things and like could appreciate the art that he was 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.480 sharing with me, and like then that your Ghost now 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.920 is like my favorite director of all time, and I 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.760 think he's brilliant, and I yeah, like did my year 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.160 twelve media studies on him, and like watch all his films, 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.920 And when I write films, I have a I try 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.240 to have a similar process to him because I think 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.880 the way that he creates his art is really magical. 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.400 So I think, like I was going to pick I 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.000 was going to pick Poor Things as another favorite, but 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.080 I think that, like just specifically because the Lobster was 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.600 my entry point into it, I think that's yea why 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:37.000 as well? 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.160 Yeah, yeah, no, he makes extraordinary I haven't seen Kinds 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.960 of Kindness yet. I was really looking forward to watching 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.200 it on a plane coming back from Perth, and I 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.880 was like, almost saved you fight coming out on the 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.320 way back. It's like a four hour flight. Whatever it 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.960 is I've got, I can fit kind kinds of Kindness 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.440 in And the entertame system was. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:56.760 Down, devastating. 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:01.040 Absolutely. I was not happy at all. But he does 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:02.080 make extraordinary film. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.120 I was saying this to Otis actually because I showed Otis, 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:10.520 who plays Peter in pera shameless Little pluck. There's something 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:15.280 so amazing about because like love when we's Anderson and 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.280 he does this too. And it's a kind of I 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.399 think it's a little bit more visual than your ghost. 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.040 But he feels like when he makes a movie, he 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.520 creates this entire world in which the dialogue or the 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.480 way that they behave is so iconic to a your 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.600 ghost film, like you immediately know or true. This is 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.040 no matter that like whether it be in the favorite 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.119 as a period piece or something in the future, or 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.520 a lot of his older stuff was in French and Greek. 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.920 Regardless of that, the way in which he creates his 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.800 worlds is so immediate that you know, yeah, And I 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.160 just think that's I don't know, yeah, I think that's 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.560 something so incredible about like being able to create like 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.080 this director, he has a universe in his head, and 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.560 every time he makes a movie, you get the opportunity 0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:01.200 to enter into his world so immediately and the familiarity 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:02.960 of that. I'm sure lots of directors do that. I 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:04.960 think that's why people like and think. 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:09.199 My point was Thank God. There are filmmakers like Yugust 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.800 and Paul Thomas Anderson, Martin D. Mcdona who were about 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.800 to talk about and Ruben Osland is another one who 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:19.159 did Force Measure and was nominally for the Oscar for 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:24.720 the Triangle of Sadness. People talk about the marvelization of films, 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.719 but thank god there are some of these filmmakers who 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:31.879 are still making these weird, wonderful, beautiful films that we 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.480 can as adults appreciate and also that are. 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:38.159 Just stories too, Like I mean, we'll get I think 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.200 we'll dive into this more. But it was so lovely 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.480 to just sit there for ninety minutes this morning and 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.879 just it's just a story about someone and that's the 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.159 beautiful thing about doesn't need this mash crescendo or some 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:53.240 fucked up sorry, some horrible thing to happen. So I'm 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:54.359 so well media trained, I'm. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.760 To take it back. Apologies to little lunch fans. 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:05.080 No, no, it's just crazy because Josh from the front 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.320 gave me an energy, an energy remedy. 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.920 Josh is the best, is the best, Thank you, Josh. 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.359 But you're right. As a story, it's just. 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.000 It's and it's just that like we forget about that 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.760 that like it doesn't need to be a huge I 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:22.360 mean there's something too like crazy, big nuts, visceral stories, 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.399 but just like allowing yourself to just enter into the 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.760 living room or the space of someone for an hour 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:29.280 and a half and then you leave and it's not 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.399 a big message or a big letter. It's just you 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:36.240 sharing a vulnerable moment with these filmmakers as they've created 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.480 a little piece for you, and then you go again. Yeah, 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.400 it's really it's humanizing. 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.760 I guess well, it's when they you might watch the 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.600 Oscars every year and somebody will get up and be 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:49.800 quite earnest about what movies do and they connect us 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:51.760 as human beings, and you can roll your arms a 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.600 little bit, but it's it's it's kind of absolutely true. 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.840 We watch movies so we don't feel alone in this 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.879 in this world that we can connect with experiences and 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.320 the movie we're I'm talking about today. You know, I've 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.040 heard various people talk about it. It's you don't have 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:07.560 to be a third in year old girl to understand 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.040 this film. Will get this film, and that's and that's 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.720 really powerful. But let's talk about your your Martin McDonough 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.480 is one of my favorite filmmakers as well, and he 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.200
