Nel 2006 Maya Rudolph recitava in Idiocracy, una satira geniale su un futuro dominato dall’ignoranza. Quasi vent’anni dopo, Andrea Bedeschi le ha chiesto se si immaginava che il mondo potesse davvero diventare così.
La sua risposta? “È successo tutto troppo in fretta, ed è quasi deprimente rivedere quel film oggi.”

Insieme a Joel Kim Booster, Maya ci parla anche della stagione 3 di Loot, la serie Apple TV+ che mescola umorismo, ricchezza e umanità in modo irresistibile!

00:04Hi, I'm Andrea from Italy, from Movieplayer.it. Hello Maia, hello Joachim. Hi. Hi. Hi. So, compliments on the show.
00:14First of all, you have one of the funniest on-screen duo right now, so of course you are talented
00:21professionals and so on, but what's the trick that you use for not going out of character when dealing with
00:29such
00:29funny and over-the-top situations? I mean, I think that's what we're trying to achieve. Like, there's no greater
00:38joy than making the funny person across from you laugh, and I think that's kind of what we're, whether we're
00:46truly consciously doing it, I think that's what you hope for. Yeah. That's what you want.
00:51I don't think any of us are super inclined to breaking other than Stephanie Stiles, who we can get quite
00:59easily, but I do think that, like, that is always the goal. You've gotten me many times. It's usually coming
01:05from a place of surprise.
01:07Yes. I don't think any of us have ever really laughed at something that we've seen coming in the script,
01:13but when they allow us to improvise, I think that's when a lot of the breaking comes into play is
01:19because I never know sometimes what she's going to do or what phase she's going to make along with the
01:25line, you know, so it's always a mixture of things, but I definitely think that, like, those are the moments
01:29where we end up making each other laugh.
01:31Which is the dream. That's the dream come true.
01:35Yeah. But I imagine that when you have to deal with Maya, which is one of the greatest comedians.
01:41No, no. I say every day is like coming to work and getting a little masterclass.
01:47And I'm Italian, so you will always be my favorite Donatella Versace.
01:51Thank you. Thank you so much.
01:55So, Nicholas is going from being an assistant to someone with his own ambitions.
02:03Molly is still a thorn between chaos, generosity, and dealing with her identity.
02:11What are the biggest challenges for your characters in this scene?
02:18I think it's for Nicholas, it's a little bit like, who am I? What do I want? You know, it's
02:23like, I think he's been so wrapped up in Molly's world and and has loved it and has loved his
02:29friendship that he's developed with Molly.
02:30But I think he's been so focused on thinking about her and her needs that he's sort of neglected thinking
02:36about what he wants and what his needs are.
02:38And so for him this season, it's really about finding that balance of being able to maintain the friendship part
02:44of his relationship with Molly, but also taking some space back and considering, like, what he actually wants and what
02:50his goals are.
02:51I think Molly's really getting a chance to explore what it's like to be in a healthy relationship this season.
02:58And so you see a really sort of, you know, natural, vulnerable side to her that I think is really
03:09lovely to see.
03:10And I think in sort of when she stops protesting this relationship and really allows herself to enjoy her life
03:17and admits that, you know, to the whole group, I think she lets everyone in.
03:23And I think it's sort of, we were kind of saying this the other day, but like, it's sort of
03:27the group's collective joy too, because I think everyone has been in such support of it and obviously wants to
03:33see her in a better place.
03:35So, um, there's a nice, there's just a nice level of trying to take things as they come and trying
03:43to enjoy the good things that she has.
03:47So, Maya, my last question is for you, uh, in 2006, could you ever imagine that 20 years later, the
03:54world might feel a bit like idiocracy and what aspects of loot do you see as a commentary on, on
04:01that kind of future?
04:03Um, no, this happened way too fast.
04:06I think, uh, we were laughing hysterically making idiocracy thinking that wouldn't this be hilarious, you know, that the stupidest
04:16people in the world were in charge and, uh, you know, the president used to be in the world wrestling
04:21federation and, um, it's really dark and it's really not cute or funny at all.
04:28And, uh, I actually watched the film fairly recently just cause, um, um, somebody, um, a good friend of mine
04:38had never seen it and we were watching it and it was sad.
04:40It was actually really depressing and I don't think, um, Mike judge anticipated how quickly this would become a reality.
04:50So it's really fucking depressing.
04:52What was the question?
04:53And how does our show like comment on this?
04:56Well, I mean, the, the great thing about comedy is being able to comment on things happening in the world
05:02and parody is such a fun way to explore, to talk about, or even to suggest, you know, wealth and
05:08the idea of philanthropy and response, responsibility and what you can do, uh, with your wealth.
05:17Um, so I do feel like it is an endless, just a display of opportunities of things to comment on.
05:26And I think comedy is a great way to do it because you're able to talk about it in a,
05:30in a, in a fun way and see the ridiculousness and point out the ridiculousness without taking yourself too seriously.
05:37Well, and especially in American culture, I think wealth has been seen in pop culture as like sort of the
05:43best thing that can happen to you.
05:44And the, the greatest accomplishment you could ever have is to become wealthy in our country.
05:49And I think our show really says, you know, there's actually a lot of other things that come before that.
05:56And a lot of other things that make you a good person that you should want and desire beyond just
06:00money.
06:01And it's not, it's not, you know, um, and the responsibility I think of, uh, the, the people who do
06:07have that amount of money.
06:08So, um, yeah, that's a good point.
06:11Thank you guys.
06:12And compliments once again, thank you.
06:13Thank you.
