Transcript
00:00Did you have an emotional response to seeing Rocky for the first time?
00:03Of course I did. Of course I did. Of course I was there when they were shooting it.
00:06So, I mean, I got to see all the little nuts and bolts on how they put him together.
00:10But it was awesome to actually see him being puppeteered and hearing his voice.
00:20It was really something special. It's like, wow, that came to life.
00:23Is it the way that you imagined it?
00:25Well, I don't have a very visual imagination.
00:29So, I just sort of see things as blobs when I'm writing them.
00:32And so, I don't have that cognitive dissonance that a lot of writers have when they see their stuff made
00:38into a movie.
00:38For me, it just becomes like, oh, so that's what that looks like. It's good to know.
00:42That's incredible.
00:43It's really nice for me.
00:44It's really shocking to hear, but it's really fascinating.
