00:00All right, I wanted to ask you, did you play tag as a kid?
00:04I did.
00:05Okay. Did you play any other sorts of tag, like freeze tag?
00:08I played this game called Bounty, which was a bit...
00:12It was that you played it at night, most of the time, middle of the night,
00:17and there would be someone who was it who was the bounty hunter.
00:20Oh.
00:21And we would play it on a farm, and you'd hide in all the shrouds,
00:25and the bounty hunter would, like, come looking for you.
00:28It was quite terrifying, really.
00:30I had to think about it.
00:31Yeah.
00:32Especially in the middle of the night on a farm.
00:34Yeah.
00:35But, you know, these things are ritualistic, they're bonding, they're...
00:38they're so...
00:40so much part of, like, the melancholy that arrives in you when you get older,
00:44and you think of these times, and it was just...
00:47Yeah, the premise of the movie is that, like, inspiring melancholy,
00:51you know, remembering this human connection and your friends,
00:55and, yeah, I think it's...
00:57I hope people come away with that feeling, and a good feeling from it.
01:01I think they will, too.
01:02One of the things we've been talking about on our show is the fact that kids
01:06are seeing the trailer for this, and actually being inspired to play the game again,
01:12which, to me, for the game to not be played, it doesn't make sense,
01:16because I did it as a kid all the time as well, but kids are actually being inspired by you guys.
01:20They're excited about the game again.
01:22Oh, that's lovely.
01:23Well, that's lovely.
01:24I think, you know, that's...
01:26God, that's the greatest gift that can come from any type of art or filmmaking,
01:31is that you inspire others to carry forward a good message from it.
01:34So, to hear that kids are wanting to play, and I think adults, too.
01:39I think to inspire the inner child and anyone is very important.
01:43And, you know, in a social age where we're less and less experiencing one-to-one human connection,
01:51I think it's nice to inspire people to play and to, you know, just to engage with each other in a real way.
01:58I wanted to ask if you could play the most epic game of tag with someone who's dead or alive,
02:05what three people would you choose?
02:07Three?
02:08Three.
02:09Gosh.
02:10I would choose Usain Bolt, because no one would ever catch him.
02:15He'd be the longest game of tag in history.
02:18I would choose...
02:22I would choose Michael Jackson, because he would, like, put some, like, epic move into it.
02:26And then I would choose...
02:31Alfred Hitchcock, because I feel like he'd be slower, but, like, so creepy and eerie that he would add a little twist.
02:41So you'd have, like, a scary, musical, fast game of tag.
02:46This falls into your bounty game as well.
02:48That falls into, like, a bit of danger.
02:51Yes.
