00:00Both of them have certain sexual events that, yeah, there are elements that actually are quite connected.
00:05An absolute dream to meet you, because I watched Spunk Club when I was nine.
00:09Nine? What are your parents doing?
00:11That's why I'm a right freak, you know?
00:12Yeah. Irresponsible.
00:15Congratulations on the massive reaction invites it's getting so far.
00:18How do you feel when, like, obviously you've made up for a good few films over the years,
00:21it's a great one and you know it.
00:22How does that feel when it goes out into the world and gets it?
00:24Uh, it, whatever type of film catches in a, in the moment it's in, it's, it's, uh, I mean, I
00:34love it.
00:35Something like this, where you're hoping people laugh when they laugh, that's great.
00:38You know, um, you mentioned Fight Club and it's funny, like Fight Club, Fight Club didn't get a great response
00:45in the beginning,
00:46but we knew it, we knew what it was, I think.
00:48I don't think we needed, and we could feel it, we could feel it in the, we could feel it
00:53in the subculture,
00:54not in the critics, but we could feel it.
00:57Sometimes you, you sort of, for me, this was a joy to make, a joy to make.
01:04It was really, really creatively daring and the way Olivia ran the film and directed the film was unlike anything
01:11I've experienced.
01:12And so that alone, you get to the end of it.
01:14And I remember Seth turned to me and goes, I have, I have no idea what's going to come of
01:17that,
01:18but that was a great experience.
01:20You know what I mean?
01:21And I felt the same.
01:22And then, and then lo and behold, she, she put together this marvelous film, like, like editorially, sonically, visually.
01:28It's just like, she, she just killed it.
01:30Um, and it's quite an achievement to give that performance and direct this film.
01:34It's, it's, it's a big flex by Olivia.
01:37I think she just, just absolutely crushed it.
01:40Actually, you've obviously worked with many great directors over the years.
01:43First time working with Olivia as a director.
01:45What components does she have?
01:46Do you think that made it such a brilliant experience for you as the actors?
01:49Well, she, she did things that no director I've done is worked with has ever done.
01:53She shot the film in order, which is, which is hard to explain how impactful that is.
01:59Um, she, she invited us all to write dimensions of our characters and hold them privately and surprise them.
02:06You know, bring the, the big story that I tell about myself.
02:10She, I, I wrote it in private and she never asked me to hear it.
02:14She, when you see her reacting to it in the film, that's her hearing it for the first time.
02:18And I remember thinking like, who does that?
02:20Like, no, no, nobody does that.
02:21Nobody takes that kind of a, a risk or, or, but she was, she was seeking, she was seeking an
02:29authenticity of the interactions and was willing to make a bet on the, that, that, that we could
02:35surprise ourselves along the way, which is really creatively, um, creatively daring.
02:43And I, I admired it enormously.
02:44Um, you mentioned that obviously as you were leaving set, you were continuing to have conversations.
02:48I know you worked together 10 years ago on Sausage Party.
02:51Yeah.
02:51Very different.
02:52Um, is it a longstanding friendship?
02:54Both of them have certain, uh, sexual events that, yeah, there are elements that actually are quite connected.
03:00I'm looking forward to the online articles that compare those two masterpieces.
03:03Um, but was that, uh, the start of a friendship?
03:06Is that how perhaps you know, we go, no, we go back for it.
03:09My wife produced super bad and, and 40 year old virgin and men, it was Seth's long time producer.
03:16She and Judd Apatow and so they, so I know Seth from the, from the really old days.
03:21Yeah.
03:21I've always been in the corner then.
03:22Like he really has like, think of Seth as super bad to Seth today in this film as well.
03:26Like Seth's a machine.
03:27That's one of the hardest working people I know.
03:29He's, and he's a, for all of his kind of image, Seth is a, a meticulous writer and craftsman.
03:37He, you never see Seth without a piece of paper and a pencil in his hand refining and refining and
03:42refining.
03:43It's not, it's not as off the cuff as he makes it seem.
03:46He's a, he's a relentless, relentless craftsman and, and really one of the best work ethics of anybody I know.
03:54He's, he's just phenomenal and final from me, what conversations do you want people leaving the cinema to be having
03:59between themselves after they've seen the invites?
04:01I, I, I don't know what they'll have.
04:03It'll depend on where they are in their lives and that's, what's great.
04:06I, I think anything that's a conversation piece, I think any four people go to this together is going to
04:11be very, it's going to be very interesting dynamics.
04:14I, I recommend it as a, I recommend going as a foursome drinks after guys.
04:19Yeah, yeah, exactly.
04:20Do we have dinner?
04:21Yeah.
04:21Yeah.
04:21Thank you so much.
04:21You too.
04:22Appreciate it.
04:22Yeah.
04:23Yeah.
