00:00Hey, I'm Finn Wolfhard, and I'm going to play This or That with Variety.
00:08Stay in or go out.
00:11Stay in or go out. Probably...
00:14I hate to say it. Stay in. I love being in my house. What can I say?
00:19Sitting at home, probably watching a movie, playing some guitar, not anything too crazy.
00:25It's kind of the whole reason why I'm at home. If I go out, crazy, crazy night.
00:29Watch TV or watch a film.
00:33Maybe film. It's hard to say, though, because there's so many incredible shows out right now that I'm behind on every single one of them.
00:41So, I don't know. Maybe I'll switch it, actually, and go TV.
00:44Latest binge I've done was a show called Common Side Effects.
00:51What is going on, Marshall?
00:52Two things to mention. Some people are following me, and I brought my tortoise.
00:56I loved the animation style. I loved the way that it felt like an elevated, almost HBO show.
01:04Live in Canada or live in the USA?
01:07Live in Canada, baby. All day.
01:10When it comes to horror, jump scares or slow burn?
01:13Jump scares or slow burn?
01:16I'd say slow burn.
01:18Sometimes when there's a jump scare, though, and it's, like, tasteful and really good, that's, like, the best.
01:23But, no, slow burn's always the most interesting, I think.
01:27I've always been kind of a horror guy.
01:30I've, like, watched horror movies from a pretty young age, so I've always been kind of desensitized to them.
01:34But I remember coming out of Hereditary pretty terrified.
01:38Make it stop! Make it stop!
01:42That was, I think, the last movie that I walked out of the theater, like, kind of paranoid when I was out in the parking lot.
01:49Film a music video or perform live.
01:52Um, both have its pluses and both have its minuses.
02:00I don't know. I think maybe playing live?
02:05Like, when you're playing a show and it's a good show, it's hard to recreate that feeling.
02:10Like, just your adrenaline and the energy you get from it is pretty amazing.
02:16The name for my band came from, I had, like, this childhood cat growing up named Audrey.
02:21I found out that there was another band called The Audrey's, and then literally swapped the D to a B.
02:28Kind of lazy. Actually, not kind of.
02:30Was lazy on my part, but, I don't know. I think it was kind of funny.
02:33Vinyl or streaming?
02:37Uh, vinyl or streaming?
02:38I think streaming, there's something to be said about being able to play whatever you want whenever you want,
02:44and that is, like, the greatest thing in the world.
02:47But just for the sake of this video, I'll say vinyl, just because it's good to support artists and physical media.
02:56I have a few favorite records that I own.
02:58This is a really nerdy one.
02:59I have Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade soundtrack, like a first pressing of it, which is really cool.
03:05My last one, I got all these really cool records in London that my friend James showed me.
03:10There's one called The Sound, a really awesome kind of post-punk band.
03:15Play piano or the drums?
03:19Okay. Piano or drums, I think about, like, constantly of, like, which one.
03:24If I could, like, master any instrument, I probably would pick drums.
03:28There's just something so awesome and, like, powerful about being a drummer, and, like, my eyes, I feel like always when I'm watching a concert, like, I'm always, my eyes are always drawn towards the drummer.
03:40And to have that, like, energy the whole time and to be able to do four things at once or two things at once, like, is really impressive to me, so that'd be great.
03:49Karaoke or bowling?
03:51It depends what group you're with.
03:56You know, if you're with people who, like, really want to show off karaoke-wise, then that's not as fun.
04:05And same with bowling.
04:06If you want to, you know, if you want to be competitive with bowling, I don't care.
04:10Like, who cares about that?
04:13Write a script or direct a scene?
04:17Um, write a script or direct a scene.
04:21I'll say direct a scene just because I'm sort of writing right now and pulling my hair out, so I need a break from that, so I'll, uh, I'll direct a scene, maybe.
04:34Release music or make a movie?
04:37Making a movie and making an album are, like, kind of similar in the sense of, you know, you make it and then you have to wait for a long time and post and work on it.
04:47I mean, if I could right now go make an album, I probably would.
04:52So, yeah, I'll say make a, make an album.
05:00Driver or passenger?
05:03I would pick passenger all day.
05:05I don't want to think.
05:06When you're on a road trip, radio or playlist?
05:09Uh, I'll listen to radio if it's a necessity.
05:14If I can't play music or my own music, like, on Bluetooth or whatever, then I'll go to radio.
05:20Sometimes radio has great stuff.
05:23My car that I have doesn't have any, like, Bluetooth connection or anything like that, so I just, I play CDs and radio.
05:33Relaxing vacation or adventurous vacation?
05:36Out of an adventurous vacation or relaxing vacation, I'd probably choose relaxing.
05:47I've met my adventure quota for the last year.
05:50Star in a comedy or star in a drama?
05:55Ooh.
05:57I think about doing both a lot.
06:00I would say probably a comedy, but I might meld them together and say a dramedy.
06:06Slide in the DMs or host a thirst trap?
06:10Um, I don't know, man.
06:14I definitely don't slide into the DMs, I'll tell you that.
06:18And I definitely don't provide thirst traps for people either.
06:21So, getting their crush's attention, I don't know.
06:27Maybe just, like, a gigantic sign that says, like me.
06:31Clowns or the upside down?
06:33Mmm.
06:35Probably the upside down.
06:36It's the unknown.
06:37What's out there?
06:38Clowns, you know what you're getting.
06:39Like, I'm not too afraid of clowns in real life.
06:42I feel like I used to be, but now I'm sort of at a great distance from them.
06:46And I've learned to love them.
06:47I think because of being in the It movies, I kind of just was desensitized to it after a while.
06:54And then, you know, you just realize, like, it's just a person underneath that makeup.
06:59You know, they're not too, they're not a demon.
07:01So, they're harmless in my book.
07:03I've gone the opposite way, and I'm sorry to the clown community for any pain I may have caused in the past.
07:09Eleven's telekinetic powers or Will's connection to the upside down?
07:14I think I'd rather have, out of, like, Will's connection to the upside down or Eleven's powers, I think I'd pick Eleven's powers for sure.
07:24Face the Demogorgon or the Vecna curse?
07:27Facing the Demogorgon or facing Vecna, I would definitely face the Demogorgon.
07:32Way less powerful.
07:33Surfer boy pizza or scoops ahoy ice cream?
07:38I'm going to say scoops ahoy ice cream because I love ice cream.
07:41The supernatural elements of Stranger Things or the character-driven storylines?
07:47I'm more intrigued, usually, by the character-driven moments than the supernatural moments.
07:53Just the scenes between everyone and everyone talking is my favorite part of the show.
