00:00Honestly, it's probably Home Alone.

00:09I think because it's one of the first movies I saw where like a kid was the star.

00:13It almost seemed like it was written by a kid.

00:15It really inspired me and I remember after I saw Home Alone is when I first started trying to write a movie.

00:21I feel like I'm in a therapy session like unearthing like a repressed memory that I have not literally thought about

00:27since I, whatever, what year did Home Alone come out, 1990 maybe?

00:31I was maybe eight or nine years old.

00:33I was also a big Three Ninjas fan which honestly similar vein as Home Alone.

00:38I like movies with kids beating up adults.

00:40And so I think it was my take on a kids beating up adults movie, yeah.

01:30I put an espresso, I have an espresso machine in my trailer because I drink a lot of caffeine throughout the day.

01:35And a little speaker where I listen to music sometimes and that's sparkling wine.

01:43Literally I don't have much in my trailer at all. I spent no time in my trailer.

01:47I wouldn't even get changed in my trailer. I had a little tent on set where I got changed.

01:50So I don't need much.

01:52Take us through the eras of what a Seth Rogen type might be.

01:54I think at one point it was like a schlubby stoner type.

01:56Maybe evolved into like a neurotic middle-aged Jewish type.
