00:00How are you?

00:01I'm okay.

00:02I'm pretty good.

00:03This is pretty cool.

00:04El Capitan.

00:05Yeah, El Capitan.

00:06I know.

00:07Wow.

00:08How does it compare to the first premiere?

00:09Do you remember the first premiere?

00:10I do remember the first premiere.

00:11Tell me about it.

00:12Were you at the first premiere?

00:13I don't know.

00:14I don't think so.

00:15The first premiere happened like in the parking lot about a mile that way.

00:18It was like a temporary tent set up to screen the thing.

00:21It was folding chairs.

00:24Somebody was sitting in my seat.

00:27It was Devenger Banhart was the DJ.

00:29That was kind of nice.

00:30That was cool.

00:32This is quite different.

00:33We didn't have a premiere last year because we were on strike.

00:37This is, I don't know.

00:41This is something else.

00:42I'll let you know later.

00:43I'm still sort of absorbed.

00:44I can't wait for the menu.

00:45The menu looks incredible for tonight.

00:46Yeah, we have a lot of chefs here tonight, which is really exciting.

00:48That's a really nice pat on the back for us.

00:50I can't.

00:51Yeah, it's cool.

00:52It's a beautiful night.

00:54The sun's kind of went away.

00:55We've been here since 5.15.

00:57I'm sweating.

00:58I've got a little sun, but you've got a little sun too.

01:00Yeah.

01:01Yeah.

01:02You've been to the beach.

01:03Yeah.

01:04I like the sun.

01:06Sometimes those things that are bad feel really good.

01:09The things that feel bad always feel good.

01:11The things that are supposed to feel good never do.

01:15Sometimes they do, but the bad stuff feels better.

01:17I'm not going to ask you about all your bad stuff.

01:20I'm not going to do that.

01:21I wouldn't tell you anyway.

01:23How is season three different than season two?

01:27Season three is bolder.

01:29The storytelling is much more creative.

01:31The storytelling is much more ambitious.

01:35The filmmakers, the directors, have hit their stride.

01:38I feel like we've earned a lot of good faith from the audience and from people who have

01:41tuned in.

01:42People are invested.

01:43Rather than sitting back in their laurels, they're trying to push it a little bit.

01:49The first episode is a deeply cinematic kind of poem of an episode.

01:53It truly is.

01:54It truly is.

01:57From there, I don't know.

02:00This show is very stunning to me.

02:01Every episode, I'm there, I'm making them, but I never know what I'm going to see.

02:05So much happens in the edit.

02:06So much happens...

02:07I don't know.

02:08I think they're really...

02:12It's people kind of at the top of their game.

02:14What's it like being directed by Ayo?

02:21I don't have a lot in that episode, but Ayo is a dear friend.

02:25The nature of her show is so collaborative that it didn't really feel like, okay, this

02:28is Ayo with the director's hat on.

02:31She just like...

02:34It felt great.

02:35Her episode is absolutely breathtaking.

02:38Tell me about the group text that's going around with your Fantastic Four castmates.

02:43What are you and Pedro talking about?

02:44What are you and Julia Garner talking about?

02:47I'm never going to tell, man.

02:49Thank you.

02:50Have you always been a Fantastic Four fan?

02:51Yeah.

02:52I mean, I'm always a comic book fan.

02:55The comic books I used to read when I was a kid were more like the cheaper kind of ones

02:59that I could get from the five cent bin.

03:01Like the Richie Rich?

03:02Richie Rich?

03:03Oh, yeah.

03:04Yeah, I did.

03:05I like Archie.

03:06Some Richie Rich.

03:07I really like Gru.

03:08I liked ElfQuest a lot.

03:09I think some of my earliest sexual visions were ElfQuest.

03:14Is that the bad stuff that we were talking about earlier?

03:16Yeah.

03:17No, that's the good stuff.

03:18Did you ever think you'd be in Fantastic Four?

03:21Of course not.

03:22Of course not.

03:23How wild is that?

03:24It's all pretty crazy.
