00:00Meeting.

00:03There we go.

00:04You know what everybody's got.

00:05Guys, lock it up!

00:06Lock it up!

00:07Sound rolling!

00:08All the work!

00:19I'm gonna let the guys pitch the movie.

00:22Great.

00:23Okay.

00:24Tony?

00:25Yup.

00:26Please.

00:27Tell us what you think this movie is.

00:30Is that what a chairlift pitch is?

00:32You know what a chairlift is?

00:33It's a ten second pitch of the movie for the audiences who haven't seen it.

00:38It's about these two guys on an incredible road trip finding out more about each other

00:43and more how they need to be like each other and learning philosophies while all being fucking hilarious.

00:50Pretty good.

00:51Yeah.

00:52And also aliens.

00:53Massive amount of aliens.

00:54Time travel.

00:55And it's an erotic thriller.

00:57Jason may or may not get naked.

01:00Yeah.

01:01So Hannah, what was the inspiration behind the road trip movie?

01:04I was on a hike with a friend of mine and he told me this crazy story about how he picked

01:10up a homeless guy in Austin, Texas.

01:13And I thought that was insane.

01:16But it also reminded me of just, you know, classic dynamics that you find in movies like

01:23planes, trains and automobiles and sort of, you know, classic odd couple comedies.

01:29And it just made sense to start messing around with those characters.

01:35Yeah.

01:36I think in terms of the dynamic, it was pretty, Tony and I did not know each other before

01:39this.

01:40At all.

01:41But very quickly fell into like a very funny kind of good.

01:44Yeah.

01:45Rapport dynamic that was just really fun to play with, especially because we were trapped

01:50in a terrible minivan for weeks on end.

01:53That I was driving that had no AC with like seven people crammed in the back.

01:58Yeah.

01:59So we had a lot of fun and it was very fun to kind of just like dig in on who these guys

02:03are and how I could most make Tony uncomfortable.

02:08And he did.

02:09He did quite a lot.

02:10It was real.

02:11We also filmed in a really disgusting motel.

02:14Maybe the most disgusting place we've all ever been in our lives.

02:19Oh, well, I don't know if we're supposed to be talking about how we were almost murdered.

02:24Right.

02:25You guys were almost murdered?

02:27No, no, no.

02:28We're being hyperbolic, but.

02:30I got a threat from this one guy who was like, you know, you should probably leave

02:35before the lights, the sun goes down, you know.

02:37Because it's dangerous.

02:38You don't want to get shot.

02:39Yeah, because it's dangerous here.

02:41What songs are in your go-to road trip playlist?

02:45One more time.

02:49Um.

02:50Bruce Bracey.

02:51There, yeah.

02:52There's quite a bit of Springsteen, I think.

02:55Yeah.

02:56Jason made.

02:57A song.

02:59Can you sing a song?

03:01Recorded an album.

03:02If you guys want me to sing the song.

03:03I would love for you to sing the song.

03:04This is the long, dumb road.

03:08Talking about this long, dumb road.

03:11Can't believe how long it is.

03:14It's not a smart road.

03:16It's a dumb road.

03:17This is just the beginning.

03:18This is the kind of opening overture.

03:20I was proposing that the movie should be completely sung like Hamilton.

03:24I was shot down.

03:26Anyway, it doesn't matter.

03:27I won't get into the rest of it because it's got pretty salty language.

03:30Now is the time for a fun game though with the ring toss.

03:34Oh.

03:35Oh.

03:36Hey!

03:37You're up.

03:38Oh.

03:39No, I'm really good.

03:40I'm really good.

03:41I'm really good.

03:42Oh my God.

03:43Oh my God.

03:44I missed too.

03:45Oh.

03:46Oh.

03:47Oh.

03:48Oh.

03:49Oh.

03:50Oh.

03:51Oh.

03:52Oh.

03:53Oh.

03:54Oh.

03:55Oh.

03:56Oh.

03:57Oh.

03:58Oh.

03:59Oh.

04:00Oh my God.

04:01Oh.

04:05Oh.

04:06Oh.

04:07Oh my God.

04:08Oh my God.

04:10Oh.
