Transcript
00:00What's around if I'm bossless?
00:03I'm doing this to protect us.
00:08The rage that she accesses.
00:13I think one of my favorite scenes is in the house party.
00:20The burning cross is in the front yard.
00:24You're already dealing with that.
00:25You're thinking like, oh, maybe the house is haunted.
00:27But that pisses you off even more.
00:31And your face, when you take that bat, I'm like, I want that.
00:35I want all of that right there and just put it in a moment.
00:38It was beautiful.
00:39Beautiful done.
00:40Yeah.
00:41Yeah.
00:41I mean, listen, if a cross is on your lawn, you know, it's just, it's, it almost, it's like
00:48an, it was almost like an outer body experience where, you know, she kind of, she leans into
00:55the things she shouldn't do.
00:56Mm-hmm.
00:57Um, but, but I love the idea of being able to explore our rage and not having to justify
01:05it.
01:06Right?
01:06Like, it's there.
01:07It's what it is.
01:08And I love the choices that Misha makes, you know.
01:13Atticus don't try to stop her.
01:15No.
01:16He supports her.
01:17Right?
01:18Um, yeah, I mean, that scene, we could, we could analyze that for another.
01:24Yeah, that's why I have another writer going to just talk to you all about that.
01:27I told her, like, go deep, go deep there.
01:29Okay.
01:29I told her, like, go deep, go deep there.
01:33Yeah.
