00:00Would you guys consider this movie a musical
00:02or is it a movie with music in it?
00:04I think we would reluctantly consider it a musical now
00:08because it was such an education for us.
00:10Yes, yes.
00:13You had to progress the scene with every song.
00:16The lyrics needed to not repeat themselves,
00:20all while staying cool, being a good pop song.
00:23And that was really hard.
00:24We had an incredible executive music producer, Ian Eisendrath,
00:28and I think beyond his musical gifts, he's a good storyteller
00:33and he would ask really hard, annoying questions about,
00:36yeah, but what does this character want?
00:38Why?
00:39You'd be like, ah, why are you talking story?
00:42But I think that ultimately if we did it right,
00:46then it shouldn't feel like a musical.
00:48It should feel like a concert film.
00:50And then you slowly realize, like, wait, this song is story,
00:54but never break the pop spell, I guess.
00:59Not my grandfather!
