00:00What did you think when you first read the script?

00:03I thought it was incredible.

00:04I mean, Jeff Nichols is the best writer and director I've ever met.

00:09And his previous work is just gold.

00:12So, yeah, it was easy.

00:14Did you have a relationship with motorcycles beforehand,

00:17or was this kind of the first foray into it?

00:19Yeah, absolutely.

00:20A love-hate relationship.

00:22Yeah, yeah.

00:22I broke my hip riding motorcycles when I was a kid.

00:26But, yeah, I grew up riding dirt bikes and Harleys,

00:28and it was good to get back on the bike.

00:31Did you have to do as much training then, or were you pretty, like, well-versed?

00:35I was ready to go.

00:36Yeah, absolutely.

00:38And it feels like a bunch of you have been kind of long-time riders.

00:41Who was the best one of you of the group?

00:44Riding?

00:45Yeah.

00:45Ooh.

00:48Probably Corky, probably Carl Glessman.

00:50He's done.

00:52I'm getting different answers from everyone,

00:53so it seems like this is very competitive.

00:55And this is a genre that we don't really see so much anymore,

01:00this kind of biker movie.

01:01Why do you kind of feel like that faded out,

01:03and the value of bringing it back?

01:08I mean, I think this is like a love story, you know,

01:10a love letter to this time,

01:12and to, like, all the misfits out there that are looking for a place in the world.

01:17And, you know, they go looking for it, you know,

01:20and they found it in this club.

01:22But it is, I haven't seen the film yet,

01:25so you may know more than me.

01:27How are you feeling watching it for the first time with people?

01:31I'm excited.

01:31I know Jeff doesn't miss, though.

01:33That's, yeah, I'm excited.

01:35I know Jeff doesn't miss.
