00:00Hi, I'm Alex from Enemy and today I'm joined by a very super trio, David Corenswett, Rachel
00:18Brosnahan and an old friend of Enemy, Nicholas Houck. How we doing guys? We good, how are you? So this
00:24Superman, as is James Gunn's way, has a lot of musical references in the film and my favorite
00:29is the fictional band, The Mighty Crabjoys. Did James give you any sort of backstory about
00:35them, tell you any more about the band? I mean, there's a whole history of them, I think.
00:39They've got a, their poster is in the film. They have a fully developed produced song that's
00:45in the film, from what I understand. Did he tell you anything about them as a band?
00:50That they're not very punk rock. They're like punk light. And that kind of fits into this
00:56sort of running gag in the film that Clark really wants to be punk rock. But he's definitely
01:01not. But in a way, I think what we're saying is that sometimes it's pretty punk rock to just
01:06be yourself. Exactly. And that you don't have to be the traditional idea of cool. To be punk
01:11rock in your own way. You're doing great, sweetie. Do you think you're more punk rock than Clark,
01:17David? Oh, definitely not. Definitely not. It would be hard to be less punk rock than I
01:22am David Cornspeth. I don't know. There's that I saw a viral video of you sort of doing like an
01:26entire Star Wars scene. I thought in its own way, knowing all that and being that much of
01:31a fan is quite punk rock really cool. I mean, listen, we'll take it we as we Star Wars nerds
01:36will take it. But also, it's a lot of pressure. Once once people start thinking of you as punk
01:41rock, and they start expecting punk rock, and then it's not even work, work, work.
01:44If you had to kind of pick out the three who was the most kind of punk rock and sort of the things
01:54they like sort of there, I think Nick. Yeah, just surprisingly cool and sort of anti. Well,
02:02you seem very, you know, yeah, I think so. Yeah. Um, like you just walk around your house with the
02:08middle finger up, you know? Yeah. Like myself. Yeah. Well, the dyed blonde hair, that's pretty,
02:13pretty punk, isn't it? This is pretty punk rock. Yeah. Go on. You're in your punk hair. I'm going to
02:17take it. Yeah. What we're saying is you're doing really well, Nick. Thanks. I don't feel it.
02:22That was a compliment there, so that you forgive me for the next bit. But in honour of our shared
02:26history, Enemy and Nicholas Saul. Yeah, I've been to the NME Awards. That's what I was going to say.
02:31I wanted to embarrass you. Oh, no. Well, I don't think it's embarrassing, but it probably is. Yeah.
02:35My life's pretty embarrassing. And take you down memory lane and ask you if you do remember going
02:42to the NME, uh, the 2008 Shockwave NME Awards. Oh, now that is pretty punk rock. Look at those
02:53bangs. Well styled. I've got, oh, I thought I had a beanie on. I don't. No, it's just a helmet of hair.
03:00It's giving fallout weight. Yeah. And it's also a good opportunity to explain a very British piece
03:06of Nordic culture. What are the NME Awards and maybe describe what they were like.
03:10I remember having a great time at the NME Awards. They're like, I feel like that was my
03:15big indie phase. Did you meet anyone cool that night?
03:18It was a great mix of bands that I was really into, um, and fun. And it was kind of at that
03:23moment in culture where it was saying you cut loose a little bit more. You know what I mean?
03:28Yeah. It's under less scrutiny. Yeah. So we went and probably got very drunk. No, no iPhones.
03:33Yeah, less of that. And you presented an award to Kate Nash. I did. Cool. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah.
03:38I was watching the video yesterday. You watching? Yeah, I did. Yeah. It's on YouTube. You can go
03:41on there. Yeah. Oh, I think in an interview, you also said you got to meet Alex Turner, maybe?
03:48Yeah, I think I did. I've got a photo actually of me and Alex Turner. I was a big, you know,
03:52Arctic Monkeys, the band Arctic Monkeys. They were like one of my favourite bands growing up
03:56and I got to meet Alex Turner, who's the lead singer. So that was very exciting.
03:59Well, yeah. That wasn't too embarrassing, was it? You know, I'll cry a little bit later.
04:04Want a copy of that before we leave, please? Oh, yeah.
04:07Definitely.
04:07Your choices. Your actions.
04:18What is an album that you always go back to, if I had to pick one?
04:28Tommy Dorsey's orchestra plays Hello Dolly.
04:33That was so fast.
04:34Yeah, that's my album that I go back to, my comfort album.
04:37I've never heard of it.
04:38Well, Hello Dolly is a musical and then this is an orchestral instrumental arrangement of,
04:44I don't know, half the song, three quarters of the songs from the musical. So it's sort
04:49of a big band jazz album. The song that my wife and I danced to at our wedding, our first
04:56dance is on that album.
04:57Oh, that's lovely.
04:58For me, it's probably, I actually can't remember the name of the album because there's a few
05:04that I go back to a lot. But Tallest Man on Earth has this album. It's whichever album
05:09has Lion's Heart on it.
05:11That kind of fits in the same era because there's a Noah and the Whale song in this Superman
05:15film, which I was really surprised at because I thought they were a very kind of British band
05:19and maybe that I shouldn't have underestimated James Gunn.
05:22Yeah, he's got an encyclopedia of Unique knowledge and great taste.
05:28Yeah.
05:29What about you, Nick?
05:30The album that's coming to mind is, my dad would listen to a lot when we were driving
05:34around the car when I was a kid, Queen, The Greatest Hits 2. So that album, I mean, it's
05:40difficult to say Greatest Hits album, but Greatest Hits 2. Not the first Greatest Hits,
05:46the second one.
05:46You're such a big fan that you know the second load.
05:48Well, that was just the one that was in the car on the cassette plumber. So yeah, that
05:54one.
05:55Was your dad a big Queen fan then?
05:56Yeah, yeah. So therefore I am too.
05:57Have you ever got to see them live?
05:58No, sadly not.
05:59I saw them with Adam Lambert. He was amazing. I was really, I mean, he's great, but I was
06:07really surprised. It feels like an impossible thing to step into. He was spectacular. Yeah,
06:13really special at Global Citizen Festival in New York a couple of years ago.
06:16Did you share a makeup trailer ever? Because there's always someone that sort of controls
06:19the music.
06:20Yeah, we did.
06:22Who was the guy on the orgs? You were so in the zone.
06:25When we were in there together, I feel like it was the like trio of makeup folks who set
06:29the music in there.
06:30Yeah. Yeah, it's their territory in a way. Do you have a music video?
06:34I think he would DJ sometimes. He had good music taste. And Matt, my makeup artist would
06:40sometimes DJ. Sometimes he would get quite, I feel like quite trancy and techno. Like
06:47I was like, I'm going on a real journey.
06:495am.
06:50That fits with Lex Luthor though. I feel like he would be like kind of just...
06:54Well, I was lucky that James had the Lex Luthor theme had already kind of been written.
06:59Really?
07:00John Murphy did a beautiful job with that. So I got to listen to that a lot before filming.
07:04And then James would play it on set. Which is interesting because I haven't had a piece
07:08of music like that before filming that then kind of triggers you in a moment there. So
07:13that was fun.
07:14And you've actually just triggered a memory to me. This year at Glastonbury, when they,
07:18I don't know if you know, they do this thing where they open the gates and you've got
07:21Divis's are there, the people who run the festival, and they kind of welcome people in.
07:25And this year they had a big kind of brass band that was playing the Superman theme.
07:29Oh, really? Really?
07:30I don't know whether it's part of a marketing thing, but...
07:32That's awesome.
07:33I'm surprised we haven't been sent that video. That's really cool.
07:35Look it up. It's really cool. Yeah.
07:36That's awesome.
07:37But thanks so much for chatting to me guys. My pleasure.
07:39Thank you very much.
07:41I cleaned your boots. I'll go get them for you.
07:43I cleaned them for you.
08:10You have a dog?
08:14You
