things announcing on the horizon were putting up a very special video that we shot at Nerdist, for course of the fourth on July. Ninth, so look for that it may involve a cantina. It may involve kind, I like this episode is Paul Big, who is a genius every well dressed genius to, but genius wrote, freaks and geeks. Wrote on a lot of amazing shows that you love, then ended up directing a lot of amazing shows. You love these directed like mad men and thirty rock, and weeds and board the deck park, parks and Rec nurse Jackie directed bridesmaids directed fricking bridesmaids, and he also tells them interesting stories about some things that he wanted to write but never got to professionally. So that we open a juicy vein of deliciousness. There is movie the heat with Sandra Bullock and most Mccarthy opens Friday June twenty. So you should.

Go see that Paul is a wonderful guy and we he is. He is one of us. We had a good run with one of US people. Lately, Katie like people who just snap right into the podcast like the missing puzzle, piece right who knew there was a Paul feig shaped hole in the podcast before now. He has filled that within earth. Podcast three hundred three, seventy five with Paul Feig now entering star com returns. Oh thanks, man subsiding your stuff, gamma,

What do we do? Try that's what I should try Do you have to try No just I've been trying that that didn't work like the John you're sort of the guy. Like I hour want to go to that. I want to get too ripped like No, how what would have happened to that happened to go to. One time am sure to forego by others. Certainly do you know you look like you're gonna, do one fifteen pound, curl and forth, and it's damn goddamn, nothing it anymore. I knew I should have done that everyone shared to me, but it's just this one would actually be a monster. If you like, we talked we it you just put the math ridge thing like. If, if you were, if you were, if you were like ripped you'd, be you you'd be like you see the rock and the and you think, okay, just above guy, but he's above huge tall guy

so he's been in a cocktail of magic going into him. That is probably just way protein well we when we met he's like he's my height and like my bill, but you know it is none of it is not your belt. No let s shoulder with unlike size and like those of the body but he's in shape. He is a key. That's gee, I guess rabies and then you know there are elements of that that I could get on. But he's like I mean that's a good thing. I'm Chris and I are the same bill because his mind I know, but your shoulders are way more broad. That has that's not saying the same thing whatsoever. It's because I have a better yeah, but no, you have a bigger bone structure, the difference

just keep digging, everybody keep digging it. I don't remember calling you sideways tall on the television show and oh my god that was huge that blew up. Everyone called me sideways. All for that. Thanks Chris, I'm so sorry, hey, we have a guest turns app. I love you, hey Paul, Paul, Paul's gonna, take notes and make a thing at it. Right right now. It all sounds. It all sounds wonderful to me, but I'm just supportive of you guys. Thank you. First of all, you know. You're doing you look amazing thing. This is a little on the suit I'm a handsome man. I so you mean, I said yes all of. If you go to a Brooks brothers for that we're to get yeah, you know Monaco the exact. No! No, I I am a three piece. I'm a sartorial. Guy great when I made my several row stuff, it listen. If I just could put in the effort to fit into a suit, then you would it's all about tailoring my friend. It really is. I it is,

that's the key! Isn't it getting like really well tailored suit? Is I'm not in very good shape, but is you get the right Taylor? You look better than really do the tailoring weren't out there. Commander, no effort whatsoever. Tailoring workout as you grow. Your suits grow, yes, they're, very forgiving in exactly the right way. Like the hulks shorts. You know they just sort of there they're. Yes, they go to where they have to go. I always code four pounds. It's the extra fabric, Thank you all. It's like a fishing reel to reels and reels ready to go exactly it's so exciting. To have you on. I, I don't think we have. I I mean many many times have we, the the sun, the moon, well, their praises of freaks and geeks always thank. We keep hoping. No, I'm I'm sure with all of this news has money. I've heard yeah seriously yeah. I know exactly. I think they have that much money for that cast. Can't I can't afford to even hang out with them.

Yeah and then I just saw Linda Carlini on Freaking. May I know exactly see and now they're they're they're ever it's great. If you feel like a successful parent like none of the none of the kids are in jail. So that's the good part. Do you think that, given a Franco, we can exactly that's right, yeah! I'm very I'm waiting for Franco hit that gender. Do you think, being a performer gave you a good ai to spot other good performers. I think, I think, be having been an actor in a performer community, the more you're in touch with sort of what actors go through. I do feel it helps. I think it helps more and I mean, as far as finding talent is really for these aha moments, which is you know, hundreds of people come coming audition and there's always. Everyone's awhile, get hung other good. That person could be good luck. I remember that person, and so you gonna, u masses of the list of yet there there that they could do it and then so it comes in

blows Everbody else out of the water, and so you kind of wait for those moments. It was bad when you're directing television, sometimes you get one session and so usually kind of have to pick out of the like yeah they're, pretty good, but that's nice when you're kind of doing a movie or a tv pilot or something you take that time for those aha moments and every one of the kids that came in for freaks and geeks we cast was just like holy shit, they're, the ones and within a year ago, cover Levine. I know this guy he's the you. You know the story of how he got it does now and he audition for SAM we're. He he for John John to heart and doing this thing or whenever and then at the end he like stops, he looked pass, the camera goes, I can't do it now and then he does his Shatner oppression and that was Geneva.

Ok, we gotta get out of this guy is I just I was buying, but that's the bug designer one is the one that is NEO Colonial right there, one again it yeah did you was there a lot of cross over between when you were writing in directing verses when you were performing, because I wonder when youth, when you see people audition when you're on the other side of the table, oh yeah, it totally changes the way. You approach it. It does. I I if I knew now what I knew when I was a performer. You know an actor trying to get jobs. I would I would face the the audition process on a percent. You know differently aids I used to like just kill myself going like. Oh, my god. I trip over that line, and I get a symbol of a word I lost the part I hire people now you can barely put do sense, is declining but you know there's something kind of funny about that person or kind of great and actually and then the converse is sometimes people come in, so polished you're like there's nothing there and I realized I was coming in like trying to be so polished and everything

so in in it. So you see you learn a lot more, but but I'm also having been a performer when I'm. In addition, I get very uncomfortable for people and I want them to to do well, and so the judge Judge does quote about me is that everyone leaves one of my auditions thinking. They have the part. So I got laugh and I think, but I want to encourage them. I want them to be at their best. It also means that you can't judge when you're, not an audition, because you can think you killed. And then you never hear about it again or you can go hi. I that up and then they're like hey, you got it hundred percent. I I always tell but yeah. I always tell actors like just going to do your best and don't you can't obsess about it's hard? It's not. You know it's hard to say because obviously that's what we're doing, but so I ve times all in a year later go like all that guy was really funny member him. We auditioned him like. Let's, given the part, so you don't forget to some he's great you dont forget, but the other thing is, I think, there's must be acting coaches and stuff who say like an audition they're gonna. Ask you to do an adjustment if they like you and so something else he's a may their great. I don't need an adjustment and so you'll

them. Okay. Well, thanks and like their face falls and they're like oh, I got it fucked up and you're like no, you got it. What am I You have to give a courtesy adjustments iraqi other. I do in the end. You know there's a lot of times. You know you're over book, your own head when you're auditioning, for you, your total, it's a worse because I'm I'm living like, even as I sometimes it just go like this person. So not ride is like okay. Let me give an adjuster, and then they drag it out, and I got buckets right now. I want to eventually become the guy. I want to be the guy in the producers. It goes like. Thank you. You know it. They open their mouth, but I could I think everyone should actually do is if you, if you want to give an adjustment to people, just pick things that they, put on their special skills that you know they probably can't do active like five things on earth on their special skills where they go. What is a generic thing like horseback, riding or and and if I'm ever yeah, I'm cool called upon to do it I'll figure it out, I'm gonna have to have them per per It proved that they can horsepower or do they were like. Oh, it doesn't mean that you speak Spanish to do this next week in Spanish,

So why don't? I that's right. I like the idea that I was that did come through for a long time, and I had that my my teacher, my seafood with right. He was a great guy named Todd Seafood, Todd which actually, which actually good seafood restaurant, but he me his resume once and it made me laugh because it said accents, Italian, something and said jewish. I can only imagine what Seafood Todd jewish accent. Actually I got tell you: what's the thing data go, has the Edwards Headshot and on the back and has his resume, and then it has like special skills, and one of the one of the dialects is negro we want to hear that is on fire. That up. I was looking at your job. You know your television credits right now and there, but facts of life yes come on. Give it up right. Did you take the good or the I all I took it off. I was the Cloris Leachman years do,

So this is the you mean the Clooney years. Well, I was, sadly, was not lucky enough to work with Clooney, but it was. It was the most humiliating role I've ever played because it is all about the girls we can have a party to rate guys you're to write all nines intends and who showed up. Lemme. Vague use, allows me in some other poor, indian guy who they we were. They literally made us where propeller beanie hats er. That's what nerds were propeller beans. We've come a long way. Yes, yes see you see on someone's resume. I can do a nerd so same, every money, hi, I'm here for the Party- hey Blair, oh god, and then the worst was like you love the Lord and she did too. She was always playing christian music, but so they had all these hot guy extras, and so it's a live taping. So they have the warm up, and so there's all these girls in the audience and they're all screaming for all these guys. So the warm a woman

between a break. She goes like well, girls. What do you say? Let's rate some of these guys, okay and I pointed out as I do. I just walked up like ok, I didn't three. What back on and just take your dick capital reference and yeah he's? I was led to hang it on his mind. Is that just a little piece of it with my number now yeah it's a three yeah from from the ground I interviewed, closing that's very non euclidean way to me: I'm measuring from the I, like you, don't know out all the way around the planet back around your backwards against put time backwards, and I can save Lois Lane. Yes, perfect. Yes, stop you're, you're, never to use your dick to interfere in human history. I think is that with the rule is something Jarrell to that is true. Well, this new Superman plays up Man, by the way I got to interview her once and she I mean this was even just a few years ago and she

fucking, amazing, she's, hilarious she saucy to legitimately funny yeah? Oh, no, not like older person, funny she's ITALY live where there are other yeah. That's other know. She's devastated me. I was writing on the MTV music video awards and she was in the green room, greener machines, doing a bid on it. I am like like. Oh, this is going to be rad, I'm a huge quote: sleep man fan I'm going to go up in the middle of this young MTV thing. We're now in probably who she is and I went up. I was like hey closing, I'm a really big fan of all your work. I think you're really in she's, like that's nice and then turned around and hit deny you and everyone else, exactly she's, awesome, she's, so cool. So When was the at what point at what point in your performing career? Did you start sort of drifting into? I think? Maybe I want to write or create things rather than in well, I mean I was I'd gone to USC film School, so my goal was to be Woody Allen. I wanted to write direct and star in my own

but then, when I was an act when those acting on these shows out always right in soda. Whatever tv series I was a regular on. I was a regular on five tv series and four of them got canceled within the first season. So so Sabrina. Well that finally took off and then they wrote me out as the first season, so they canceled me dammit. I know you win but, but I would always right now is kind of become friends with the writers and hang out with the directors and stuff I I felt it was in and I kind of not for a long time, because you always you know thing all I I I will be in a movie star which clearly it was not destined, so it took about fifteen years the slowly kinda trans into it, but during that time I really really to hone my writing skills and all the writers always nice and always turn to the Crips, and they give me notes and stuff where you staffed on show no, no, I would just I was a regular like a series regular on it. And so, but I knew all the writers I would always just kind of pal up to them and most of them

I a kind of one to do it on the shown the show get canceled, but I gotta go CPAC laying around of animals or pets? Yes, it's in my into my files of the perspex script. I wrote you send it over will produce of international, because you've got a because it's a very special episode of of AL. What happens alpha is now. Basically he becomes a because he can't show his face. He starts becoming a counselor at suicide thought. Oh my god, and my genius turn was there's a guy who's, gonna jump off a building and EL couldn't get to him, so he had the girl from the show put him in a backpack and Sera no to her to tell talk the guy down from the ledge. Is no thank you. So much tell them to job nicely done my one impression when I was a kid well done, that's how I used to go. Do the morning announcements and

They who has tension for Father homes. I went to catholic school. This is a whole new God think you get going here, listen Paul! All I'm saying is we could make it happen now, even as a guy who does out, we could probably just get him a well. What fun would that be See a dramatic reading of my god. I would totally do that. I will dig that out of my file what what was the episode called I don't remember honestly, all he remembers. I formatted it wrong, so it was literally like seventy pages long. I got every time you get to like out in the kitchen. You have to get so they're talking between the kitchen and the things under seventy page, dramatic else. Yes, exactly called falling back to earth. I think we call that internet

Oh you know whatever it was that it's going to be that now we're going to get on this channel if you can't get off and think Mister choppers from permanent midnight with, but I was about to start making a bunch of man of steel references and put alpha in there but yeah. We know what else nothing yet, so I can do that. We didn't We didn't see it on the one Russell I'll you're, my father spoil all grades.

I don't know it's, it's really could have your art piece with the king of the homeless, interact really scores high in our demo. We really that? Eighteen to thirty four year old, can't find it's find it? It's just that inquiries so that I will so. We cannot say that other areas very? They do have a heavy legal tee. I know from the past little room the print of is not. We are just reading things that we saw on the internet and we cannot. We cannot. Where they not. They were not going to say anything about its veracity. We just know that we saw that online. Let's just say there are actual pictures yeah, but those could be anything really had to have gone out and that was kind of like before really good photo shop. That's clearly from a video, but why would they just video them? I don't know

they acquire there's always that one guys like I'm going to fucking take down the dad from Alpha that guys been living high on the hog Norwegian long he's been taking everything I'm going to take that kind of well, I hope none of those things were true, and I hope that MAX is ok. I hope he'll do the reading and maybe now he will come down and just to show everyone. Well now he won't well, he might dredging up his past. Pretty sure we just dangle something in front of them. We do know I the voice, pretty good. You apply a rigid junk, say: hey good pipes mean all God, sorry didn't mean to make a crack and it goes down, not big. You bring out the best in US don't I so we were getting back to you I'm. I know that so now that we are gonna, we're definitely gonna do this live, and then I wrote, I'm sorry, but to do did you enjoy do stand up to get it.

Yeah we were we we are. We are we were we that's how we met on the set on the stand up scene, which was which seem a along guns, even if it was that the West Coast, it was kind of what we here's what happened we were. I was friends with like Steve who kinda who run ads snl? Now you David Guns and Dave Gruber Allen. You know it's a we're all stand. Ups, bunch of us met at the variety arts downtown used to have a stand up. Club down in the basement call the Edwin Theatre in LA in LA yeah right. It got kitty corner from the the pantry well yeah, and that was kind of that was my base who are we in a lot of us were there, and so we do up there and then, where the Higgins, boys and Gruber lived. It was in this house in the back of the valley, called the ranch, and we all would go there and we do our comedy. Then we go back and play poker all night and drink coffee and and smoke cigarettes, and we just make each other laugh for.

Years, yet this went on and then God was one of the regulars there, and so we can have a friend at each other by the way did Steve against Larry's, David Insularity, Dave Gruber Alan yeah. One of the funding has been. They bother me y know him his naked trucker, yes, and yet one of the funniest people you can ever hang out with Doesn't really he moved back west, I mean we take care of his parents, his parents, so I think he's not really he comes in. He comes I did an episode of Paul Sheer show with him. How did this get made as no doubt, however, that my eyes, but your group is truly one of money is guys, I know, and possibly the nice man. You know literally like like a saint Joseph goes on. The Us Titanic to Lot Todd Carlin George Carlin brother. Do you ever hear him do that? No, it's hilarious was one of those characters. He does George Carlos brother, which I guess he might not do it now, since George is gone but well, he could still have

brother to sister lives are surviving brothers, yeah yeah, he was the guy. I I mention this on a podcast about a year ago with there was a guy and that I had an ad that we would do this recurring any money bit and it wasn't ruber where we would do. We just completely deconstruct two tickets paradise maybe like where we are we going I'm on, go Paradise. Where we go when we gonna leave- and I go we were leaving tonight like- should I pack like yes pack a bag? Well leave no we're leaving tonight it's a lie. Can I bring a friend? I've only got two tickets like we would just do this for endless and then the Eddie Money commercials came on and every was like and, as I'm gonna use to do, a thing in his when when they were doing they, you know he can boards a group where that was their their comedy team yeah and he used to do Dave's Dave's beginnings where you could teach guitar, but he teach how to play the beginnings of songs, supervise wicked data. Have have bring a guitar and do that's that's really funny

so so you guys all started, and it's free. It's easy to hear about at the LA comedy scene with this was what was this like late eighties, yeah mid mid eighties actually was from eighty five to about ninety wait. What that was made comedy boom sort of yeah la have a good comedy scene. It was great, I mean it when I started, I decided to do comedy full time in nineteen. Eighty five I do have been doing in Detroit is like a kid at literally said when I was fifteen, but then, when I got here, decide to do it and there was so many comedy clubs and I could literally seven nights a week, go to three different comedy clubs, open MIKE nights and and do my acting a working. My act like three times a day. That is seven. It's completely change, I mean usually everywhere comedy was everywhere, but now it's yes just

the county factory in the problem and then ninety was right about the time when everything when the bubble went pop on and on and on and cut clubs close and then there's not as much yeah. I think cabled might kill the just because there's so many stand up specials, I think people are getting there Peter there will definitely over saturated with comedy club and because that there was that point where I think, from what I hear you could just put comedy on in front of a building on people, would fill the room the places I did comedy you under There was a place called the deli smoker, which was on a Ventura Boulevard in the valley. That was a deli and they just put a stage up there and people would sit at tables and just eat. Sandwiches and watch you who stand up I wasn't as we then it was not sushi bar. Where that I mean that there is one place I got I get booked into was out and see me valley. It was the night of the series, and it's in this crazy ours I got a you know like out of the blues brothers, so did the chicken wire, but they might as well and so the other the world series as I'd

Oh all, right all right turn off the tv we got comedy now and I get up to do comedy in front of this hostile audience a watch. The watch, the but it would that used to be it used to be just like put a MIKE up and we can just have free entertainment, because you know everybody was looking to do to stand up, but the board think always drove me. Crazy is go. Comedy clubs. Is you go in and they have a shitty MIKE and a bad sound. So it's like the only thing you're required. The hell out of my group or a speaker in your can't get that right. They don't you guys wrecked the microphones it out with those eyes comedians, always payments. We would destroy them for some reason as a comic. It is so fun to wreck microphone. It is, you know, I'm the PETE Townsend of CALM yeah, the punch line, okay

traveling yeah, although I do wonder that I did I did and yet is actually because that would they wouldn't put it on there across. There was some con there's some come because we go where it's obvious. They haven't changed the microphones in awhile and and and the and their dented how? Why are they all did too that's in spite of you drop in it's like I'm, not dropping its. Why do I, but I would bring my own- I'm not german folk, but I always envisioned that it was from people just like that, like right of the bike that just warp the microphone, I think so breath and other guys would just have their mother and other things like that like. If you see time, let it time, let him would do that bit where he would He would like he was lab at a microphone on his tongue like like how did not look like a giving up like you're, like don't look like too much of a pro giving a giving a blow job and he would have the microphone the microphone is like really I gotta follow you yeah. Well, not only that, but no, but it was almost like. It was almost like watching a sideshow. I was like he's putting that in his mouth. Oh no things you don't do on stage. I was always add a couple of bits where I would fall down and that's the

there's no no longer amount of time than getting up in front of an audience where you fall down and that you don't get a lot of. What was your? What was your favorite bit that that never worked? Okay, so my my act. They know I did pretty well was it was a thing the improv decided open a misguided comedy. In the valley. In a like a shared hotel it. You see it it on the four four or five and the one big wanted and big place ancillary headed in this. It was like basic legacy of function, room and I went up there one eye and it was all teenage girls from a softball league and their code. She was this guy who was clearly fucking one of them. It was super gross. He just kinda sitting there with his arms around there like and Darryl the term in. So I remember I did my bit something about like you, faint. I didn't remember what it was. I put it out of my head. So this is the thing I faint and bang on the ground. All here's this one girl was like. Oh my

Let s just like slow slow getting up, and this guy's all duty, find everyone. I think he went on to to found american apparel so yeah I'm trying to get at it. He finally found his way. Yeah, there's, no, my Softball Batman is the other guy. In those inquire, I knew he looked familiar. We all want to make out without that, at the end of the day, really yeah. Would it be crazy. We looked on like MAX right, founded America the guy just pull those tube socks only does give another so would panel or, but I can almost see your posts like a homeless people to drink off. Now you tweet now Chris. If you tweak your alt dad impression, just slow.

You can almost get Owen Wilson out of it. Oh yeah, one Wilson is a little bit more like they say they are marked right. Oh my god. That's what flow right into Cosby after that yeah. We started our little thoughts, lower I'd go into

then in to Cosby source. Well, well, the one and none of our quickly goes on for Algernon and an importing policies. There is an evolution of those I like this one. I don't. I love you and I don't want to break with you, but there was no intonation difference. The words were different. How would you break this to me in front of company a I gotta go now welcome back all right, but when so, I would keep it's so fun to get off track because I like riffing with you, amen, but I do want to talk about freaks and geeks, because this show, which I remember at the time it felt like people were going bananas over this show it was such a unique voice in the late ninety s of t, it was almost like almost like John Huge,

on television like death, you know and then and then just went away. Well I mean the people who are into it were into it by there weren't enough for the network. Here's here's this a commentary on the state of network. Tell I know what your I'm very excited. When we got canceled, we were the lowest rated show on NBC, with a regular audience of seven million people. Yes, today seven million people would be a pretty middling here. Going anywhere. If you know seven million my younger, you be great, and I mean it. I would like to say with they know the candle movie they're, like our biggest movie ratings two point- five million you're like wow that's great but holy shit. That's not what it used to be yeah well, also, though, with them with HBO in particular, though, especially with with HBO, go a it still broken, it's all broken up, and so they don't. You know like there's no HBO in particular you're. Not really incentivized to have to watch it. You got, this wasn't lying. Even the office was averaging like four and a half million viewers yeah

air big comedy were doing well, no totally the only the only thing is like walking dead, which you are familiar with or like game of thrones. Those are the only ones you have to watch when they air, because all the fuckers will ruin it with the spoiler alert we were just talking about winter. We were talking about that. You that you have to avoid social media, especially, but especially, if you, if people think you see everything the second, it comes out well that when people are live, tweeting stuff, like don't do that 'cause, I accidentally it across it and you get the last one first and is that ok? Well thanks, no, not that guy human I rise What do you think we're so rapid about, but it's like it, because people get it so hard to surprise people any more, and so, when you take the surprise away from them, it's it's like you, fucking kick their dog in the face. Like people get so in man, I can because we don't have any surprises. Any more and so me, that's why all this cereal eyes, television is so awesome, because it's the only thing that you have

the kind of get at the moment it happens. Everything else you can consume. However, you want it's basically like someone, I guess it's it's the same as someone in the back, a room of a magic show and going it's in his sock, God, dammit dammit, oh lie under the most fucked up thing: Ivers always was not the second one. Oh, my god, There's a paradise no empire strikes back. Oh okay, you said revenge. You meant revenge of the no I'm actually going way back. You remember revenge of the which then became return of the jedi exactly, but I thought you were saying I thought you were taking revenge of the nerds see, and so I went to my mb, that's good. I like the thought process on here, but no empire strikes back. We were all standing in line opening night for the second, shall know some do drives down, isn't Detroit dry, nothing other than. Darth. Vader is loop skyline, I know he's like that's the most fucked up thing. I've ever heard of my life he's just fucking trolled, an entire line of the entire line he's like boom. That's

I retrospect in retro back, it was cool and I it I would have been on that man went on to found Reddit. There should be a video of that somewhere. Oh my god, drive by spoilers would be a fucking great I think we're about to start it right now to get in yourselves doing that in front of you, you'd have to get someone like Billy Einer, like someone that you know like someone that that people would be like okay, but it's funny when he does it or maybe it's I am, but I don't know, maybe down yeah. I would drive by spoilers dot com drive by spoilers, quick, go get it registered tsar, share something through the one guy who on the internet is self aware: the internet registered it to itself seizure, and it's already it's already a treasure which I think was like where the Borg started, but with every good, I'm glad at least that reference

yeah huge good yeah star wars, not so much a stuff. I comedy me too yeah, but it has to be the promise. They always do this parody and it can't be Parada. Sci, FI, yes, yeah! I got one that I developed years ago that I'm going to bring back a tv series, I made may show up when you what it are some of the SF. I comedies that you like you, think, did well like Galaxy Quest yeah that's kind of only one yeah. That's the only gets everything out immediately. Red, dwarf and stuff like that, but I would call Ghostbusters FI. Buddy boy point to appoint yeah, but even that tone where it's like it's funny, but it's not law, making fun of any worlds and is gonna pull it off. You had Edward I'm going to the premiere tonight. Actually, that's gotta go guys. They pull off like genre comedy yeah, like perfectly, I saw extended scenes from it at Cinemacon and it was really funny. That's great. You know what guys

try by spoilers, oh yeah, that's right, they kill Michael's era. Hidden goes out the the watch, the all round, yeah yeah. I never. I didn't see it I thought I actually. I wasn't a plan. I quite enjoyed it. Okay, yeah yeah, but the thing is it's like: it's marketed it weirdly yeah! That's the thing you want to be like it turns out, it's going to be like they uncover some crime, syndicate or somthing like that, but it turns out it's an alien invasion and like they should have had. Had that be clear, I would have trumpeted that from the roof, yeah very, very funny when you gonna do I've long wanted to make the comedy version of District nine, oh, my god, totally that's hilarious, yeah that'd be fine. I mean, maybe not so much the racism. Right, but you know it's always funny. Well then, what's a comedy about a lesion, a be a knee snapper and snapper one of the two, so it's so funny you actually break your knee. Is that's actually one step above a knee snapper. I've snapped my

I think about is. Is it like? Rich people are so terrible that they literally kill everybody yeah exactly I've had a tough time, finding any of that online I've just seen like the one trailer I again was and of the council. I would saw the presentation of its pretty awesome. I mean it is its wild. It looks you know it's a very district. Nine, yeah. I love that guy. Does Neil Blomkamp yeah he's an awesome. What he did with almost no money for district now is, and I was like that was the best movie that year, one of the best yeah I mean you know it's like you want to really discern nine. You go. We we made this for, but like five or six seven million dollars or something like that. You go this way. There's no excuse yeah for like a transformer. With a hundred fifty million dollars yearly. I know it's like it even, but even just this is just the effects and you know yeah, but I guess that's one of the things that makes it special, but district. Nine is one of those movies we go. Yes, cinema is not dead. People will still go see, something that is clearly special. There's light engine nine. The way,

don't know, wasn't that didn't that start out as it was going to be a video game movie and then they in the middle of it they switched it up and turn in the district. Nine I might be worth researching. I heard it started out as it was like gonna, be video game movie and then something fell apart. You're gonna, like hell will jump on route instead, smoking crack, but does not jump on this So let me look at that. That would take you a long. There are any good pictures of them changing their mind than crackable fucking, a homeless guy. We got to change this up. That's where I come to see and to come no, where I come and think number the say, neighbour, the coming teacher

there guys quotable today, guys. I think we have our new, I say slogan, the coming so so free to gigs when so freaks and geeks. When I think a little talked about this a little bit that it was sort of did it just sort of feel away from you, or did you kind of go like, I think this is coming? Were you prepared for it was both you can kinda knew we around on shaky ground. I mean that's why we shot. You know that the season ender for it, basically it a few weeks before we, we still have three more to shoot of our episodes. The judge said to me, like you, should write the finality, and so I did and that's what I wrote directed just because we cannot the writing was kind of on the wall. Even though you're bummed out when it happens, it wasn't really a big surprise. So you know, but it's still it's it's terrible. It's like you know you you it's like having a family and then suddenly they pull your family away. You know, and I don't even mean just because we're all friends is mean of these characters we're just gonna getting going. So we lay Laplace Wanna, take em that sad, there's moments you like maybe would have jumped the shark the next,

and so there's kind of like a a step away. How how long does it take typically to get your characters into your head or where you feel you understand them. Does it does usually take about a season or two before you like? I, okay, because everyone bring something different to that yeah. It depends. I mean happen pretty fast on this, because first, all the characters are ones that I based on people I grew up with, but then we found these. That meant the kids at that point to be in that they have these really distinct personalities, and so we were really good it kind of using their personalities in it, and so we kind of felt like we discover them pretty quickly. It was more how we could surprise people of ways taking them direction. We didn't think they're gonna go like you know. The prime example was making can from a rich family right. That was never thought. Where do that have like you know what that feels. It would be weird and fun to do that, but I know that they were so kind of live living breathing.

People, you know they were so kind of part of those characters and it did. It was kind of snapped into them pretty quickly and they were great too. They would bring so much extra stuff in yet we also feed off of of per interpersonal relationships of somebody's mad at somebody that we put in the show her through the courtyard point like Linda and Franco, or having kind of a bit of a feud, and so it's one episode over there kind of fighting and- and it was just you know it's fun to put that in because then it felt more real yeah, another all friends. Now everything worked out for it all worked out great everything. I'm done doing a cartoon with Linda. So I see her every once in awhile and just the greatest she's awesome I just love her love her. We did a sitcom come together right, beef, freaks and geeks. Maybe I think freaks and geeks was like her next good burger. Wasn't no wasn't good, good burger was it all that was said, like a man in a three pieces burger, I believe it was it a spin off of the show all that the KIDS College Keynan

and kill, but yeah we were in a to come together and then she and then our show got cancelled and then she went off the the next thing was like like that yeah it was, she almost got the seventies, I think oh really have any debate they are for a awhile yeah she's all over the place, but you've directed a ton of I mean I guess I have. I knew some stuff, but I didn't do everything I didn't know you directed a madman episode. Yes, first season, did which episode was was the one where she starts modeling for Coca COLA? the birds right right. Oh yes, oh my god. That was the first time where you're, like oh she's, crazy and exact? Oh, no! Oh Betty! No! you re ready money. Were you really while the sea than to see that the cracks in the air

It was fun. I had a great time. I really befriended the whole cast and everybody and it was fun I just I did the one so obviously a ton of rest development, but a bunch of nurse bunch was just scare, but none of the no nurse Jackie actually actually their Jackie. I had was one of the most fun things I ever got to work and really yeah weird, because they, let me really play around with the camera. You know a lot of times you just you know you want to do the style of show and when I did freaks and geeks directors would come in and try to do different styles like no like it's for, they're gonna shoot it the way you want it, so I'm very respectful of that, but there they really liked one which, if you don't know directing world, like, I think I've seen you cover cover in one take in one shot without having to have cutaways and stuff, and they like the scripts, a lot and they didn't want the the

kind of messing with certain scenes, so they're really into like shooting wonder so, it was really fun to figure out how to do these kind of in one take how to do so. Do you sort of with the style of a show like a rest development? Do you feel beholden to like sort of like what you said like? Well, it really kind of has to be this way. Yes, that's the void that directing is also the part of the voice of the show. He had a big thing when your tv director is, you are there to help, make things better, but you're also there to do to serve what they want. You know I gotta go again go make the freaks. Like you know, we had a very specific style that I wanted, which is like a seventies kind of Babylon at me, Camera, just you know very it's all about the performances in in on seventies tv there. There wasn't a lot of cinematic stuff going right and I didn't want that so, but we have direct, is coming and like they're setting up, that's where they're doing around the table and we're going to have a pillar and all this is like. No don't do that, because you're going to miss a great model with the kids, so yeah. So when you go to a show, your job is going like here's. How I think we can do this and either the

that's awesome. We didn't think about that or if they go like you know, it's not our style style. Then you have to go okay, cool because I did so many times know. Other directors will like fight with you. I was gonna. The tv show and all that it that's the last thing you want to hear it when he heard in a running the show, as I know just do what I want you hook us all, but you might but good. Director will do, will bring in ideas where you're. Like that's awesome. I didn't think about that and then everybody elevates things. So am I what what with the office? That also has a very specific style yeah I have to I mean I you what I love about the office was we were very religious about the idea that it's actually a documentary. We we didn't get this finicky about it on on

rest of elements so meaning that, like there could be a shot like I'm talking to you and then suddenly will cut over to me and you go at all well, I would have seen the camera behind me if I was looking at you right, but on the office it was very much about. Like you know, we have two cameras in the in the in the documentary crew find where they're gonna go where they wouldn't see each other, and then you cover the whole scene like that. What I love about, that is your little every time. You're doing it. Take your getting the entire scene with all the coverage you need, because there those those cameramen are are geniuses because they came from a lot of the original guys came from survivor, so they're used to doing that, so the it like they're hearing it for the first time. So all those little push ins and all that that's them kind of freestyling and then you know then I'll sometimes go. Okay. Ok, maybe we'll do push in here, but really kind get out of their way way. It you get such an energy out of that the performer

Everything feels real feels in the moment and and more absurd jokes play real, because they're playing out like they're in real life, because we capture like realize I I just I think it's like that. Mockumentary style is the greatest way to do tv, comedy yeah and so with the office. Is it? Is it pretty much? Well now? May it rest in peace actually does go on, but if it is pretty much you know like there there's a basic script idea in place and then people sort a river a bit and then they just they if, in other words, it sounds like the camera you're almost improvising, along with the actors as the director, you are yeah totally yeah the. What did that they're very alter written to me? That's the best writing staff around that those people and they were so great, but then you've got the genius of Steve Carell you you, you would just get what they had scripted, but then it was always fun to kind of like just change. This and Carl was always great I go like give me something different or surprise me with this or Israel, and then

yeah the L. Getting all these kind of extra things that you need to the UN and Greg Daniels is is, is one of the most talented producers I've ever worked with, because he was he would let that stuff happened yet like there is in the the Halloween episode, which is from the second season, where we first gonna be creeds character. There is a whole thing in the in the office with Michael and in talking to to Dwight Dwight was wearing the emperor from the from STAR Wars Outfit and as we were, shooting the scene. I just started to realize oak, the camera or in a if we we were just a little bit. It looks like the emperor front. You, like you just kind of see the side of his mouth as we started, read doing the same, just to kind of play up that gag, and so we one of this whole improv thing and but and Greg liked it so much. He end up, throwing out like a story line just extend that scene. So it's all about. Dwight, kinda, looking like the emperor on camera, it's it's really funny. If you watch- and I love that you really love that scene, because I was a you know- a lot of chill runners won't jettison up anything from the script. If you have a great and

of on the set yeah when you're, when you're kind of like you're done with the scene, you guys scripted and then and then you start messing around with the improv. How long do you I mean you got tons of other stuff to do for the rest of the way? How long do you let go all right, Is it when it becomes unfunny yeah I mean you know I like to push past the I like to gonna go one or two past, where you think you're done with it sometimes something weird come out of that, but the good thing about that the the office again and since you're kind of getting all the same time, you're, usually let in less of a time bind, is long as you can to stay ahead of things. You know it's not like what happens if your do show you see more standard. It's gonna like I have an idea of any gotta, go back and turn around a relied and that it falls apart. You know there are you got one side of an improved that happens at their disposal words, as always, when I'm due movies. I try to crush you as much as I can see that I'm shooting but people, because data such as somebody who has come up with a great deal of any aren't. We only have one side of it and in it that is never is funny. When you try to re created now, you can talk as it suggests it up and even just performing something versus just reflect something

from a different part of your brain yeah and a different it just presented. Well, that's like in bridesmaids scene, where, whether in the diner talking, I mean that's, you know it was very scripted, but a lot of that goofing around the funniest things in that scene. Where happened completely out of the blue, just by going to talk about the imitate apenas you know or or like Kristin, just putting two food under to you thought it just surprise all of us and well that's well, that's why? Because you know a particularly in in something like that. You have a on real cast of whole areas. People yeah it just on their own would be funny, but then somehow find a way to to work together. Yeah it's about yeah that yeah the way I love the castle. You find people who are just funny your great actors, but also funny able to to refer a bit. You know good at improv and went over. I do auditions, will have you know we'll have a c for them to read, which isn't even usually from the script as you like, a longer monologue or like a one sided converse, that that will especially especially for the audition process. Just so you can hear what people do this kind of thing,

I mean I read the three lines. They have it's it's hard to tell what what you know what they have in in their skin in stock, but when you have that and then that will is like an improv scene at the end, just as either comfortable with it. If they over reach. You know, because some people trying to be for people trying to be funny as the least funny thing in the world right right right now, so you find out who's got a light touch, but with with with movies like bridesmaids, you do you was there so much that you were like shades, I don't want to cut out. I mean we have tons of stuff from you know. What did you have to be in service of the story first, and so that that the mistake is just loading. All your jokes, because you'll put the audience I mean the funniest jokes in the world. They just add up, even though, like suddenly we'd have scenes that we had all these jokes and they'd be funny and it would kill. But then, like ten minutes later, you feel fatigue in the audience the trying to get tired of stuff and you go like you know what we got to weed these down because, okay, we're just given you know it's like it's like giving everybody all their food right up, front, they're, just scaring yeah

you can have a sitting in what's wrong with it. While you know we're Zombie yet have the shooting at the street, seen in some other crazy, seen right. I'd like you need your thing, you need a little yeah, I don't know A case in point was light. You know when she first meets Helen, you know, rose burns character with isn't when she turns around and you my comes floating forward. We have always hilarious things like rose kind of doing. These sat cannot put down what you haven't. You they were putting her down like come from just come from like so it was really funny. But then we eventually realize, like we had to pull all those jokes out, because the very next scene is her having that that showdown with her, though so, if kind of tip your hat already go like hell, yeah she just trying to take her down, then He is funny to see them doing that onstage, but that was the thinking of the studios really like we miss all those jobs. I know, but it's better to take them out in it's going to be more helpful for the whole thing you know, and so you're you're pretty good about looking at as a as as a whole piece

keeping yeah yeah and the rhythms of it total. You have to be a it all goes back to stand up. I mean it. My my stand up. Training, yeah, that's right, you know, judge does the same thing it it that trained both of us for how to put together a movie, because you know you're doing an hour set to hear or read sometimes longer, and these have the know that Evan flow of of winter audience when an audience gets tired. You can have just like balls to the wall kind of the whole time times you gotta get that flow going and also even comes down to when we're doing the test. Screening process is exactly like how we used to hone our x. You know you go up with your notepad

try these in the news. Okay, that work to go by the next time, try to different way and that's how we you know we just a movie. You know I start testing the movies like two or three weeks into my director's cut, no wow and then every two weeks, we'll just I'll just do another test, because I have all this alternate material and that way I don't follow up with the cuts. You know, because what happens? If you do your standard ten week, DG a sanction cut by the end of the ten weeks, you're just in love with every frame of the movie, and so we put a from an audience like all those I don't know what they they're laughing, but they didn't they and you know, they're smiling, they're, not laughing is another, doesn't count, you know, so you have to just you got to show it before you really are invested in it, because you- can be very scientific yelling at pull that out that didn't work. Let's try that workshop yeah that that's actually both were perfectly it did with sleep on. I guarantee end where you would just he would they would just screen it. They had a bunch of screenings, I guess in New York, yeah and then just had people they just base We workshop the movie. The Marx brothers made their

yeah. They went out on the road exactly and even human giant guys they were just like every time they would have like a completed sketch. They were showed at Ucb in New York and then just see where the last were and then go back and edit it yeah, because we recorded the last and then we put it into the aid, and so you know they're, like okay, that didn't go, laugh! No, that's really there is a yeah. I'll. Definitely look! Is it because it's always debate like I think that work, I think in those like the others like? Well, let's listen to the tape. You know you kind of like I I'll be glad these are like a hook, shot yeah, yes, yeah! It's great! It ends any kind of difference as you might have. So what with bridesmaids I mean. Obviously that's you know you are, I'm sure you thought all those are probably do. Okay, then, when it was like oh fuck, that just made like during a million dollars. Are you? How do you remember mind around

That's how I felt when I was having a problem. I had. No, it was awesome. I mean you know you never make something hope you know thinking and that's not going to work, but the same time you kind of like. I hope this makes you get like a number in your head, like I always like this could just make like one hundred million will be so great 'cause. I don't be considered a hit and blah blah blah. So then we just kind of kept going and going it's awesome, but it's also then eating, for what are you gonna make next, because you want to you know, do something because then know let you do you you well yeah. I know that that so that's when you can you completely fuck yourself, you know because then that's what I want to avoid is a like. That's a lot of directors will have that hit on the go, not gonna, pull that personal project. A banana maidens like I always wanted to remake psycho yeah

yeah well the, but so I was really would like with the heat. I was really took me awhile to get going. What's the follow up, that's going to kind of have that same comedy feel as bridesmaids, but can be different, but the audience will- and so I'm really happy with this when I can like it, feels like the right follow up, but it's not. Female remake of the movie heat. Oh boy, yeah. Yes, it is all right right. How do you the diner scene? It was awesome, you're, never sure if Melissa, Mccarthy and Sandra Bill are in the same scene, the double I like to be tricky. Oh and you were in three o'clock high. Yes, I was which is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I think filled you on in that that movie, I think, just redefine how so much stuff became made after it, but totally gets the read. I think that it deserves well. It was I mean it was way ahead of its time visually because it didn't do well at all and because I think people hadn't been through that on screen.

You know that kind of, because there's so much going on that, I think people are going it it the through them off of it Phil and I went to film school together. Oh wow, that's actually going to hook up fee. I audition is like one of those with you and he was you know he was great to, but no I that it, it's really an unsung thing, but it did try to put yourself in the mind of an audience back then, who never kind of seen anything like that yeah on screen, a member just like it did, that's number did not do well because of the well. I think also it was sort of. It was one of those things where Think most people produce didn't have an idea of what it was about. Yeah, like a three three o clock high. What is their three and then you just see Casey some Asko, like Yang, held in the yard, a cartoon of him being held in the hand yeah out. Yeah, I know such an amazing movie, I love casey- might will a few years to older people an As was I, I was playing a high school band too. So tales from the movie is this like when he you know he gets held up and yeah and and then, when he goes back to thirty days yeah this. Is it still just popped out,

exactly that was the scene I walked into. I believe it was around when the they were are really go and when Paula, oh boy, then the craziness, actually I'm terrible in it, because all you see is the top of my head. I was like so unsavvy on camera that I lean in and just like. Don't angle face. So you could see it. You literally see my scalp so scale performance by then. Maybe you should write some stuff yeah Wonder I want behind the camera. You ever want to go back in front of the camera. I do I mean I do. I just people will call me and I'll do it? they offered up up just did something on the Kroll show, which is really fun. Do you know what part you want play play when we read your script? Oh gosh, I might have to have to read stage direction. That's fun so that'll be, let's see so we probably about like a half hour reading

right the the help. Thank yeah. I read about a half an hour to hour queue in a afterwards, yes yeah, but I think we could do it straight and then then my phone with that. Well, I also would like maybe I could move full and I always wanted to do a dramatic reading of there's a book called growing up. Brady Yathrib already wrote on us die, but the the memo from Robert read to the network about why he was so disappointed.

I'm glad you saw that NATO is fun is before I die hard with a vengeance.

Deny die hard, that's exactly you Doug Bens inside in Chicago, and my guess is that you probably just wanted to watch the rest of the heat yeah, we're like. Oh, that would just stay on. We don't have to watch the movie that doesn't have a plot. I just ran in the Benson at the Buttnumbathon, oh yeah, that's great. I love we used to do.

Lynch has always amazing restaurant say it was I I love that there it was hotter than hell and we made a stake of I with the Boston Herald and going out of business, and so their entire facility was empty, and so we were both location scouting. We fought it all. These giant rooms like this can be our sound stage, so we made in our side but not realize it's hot, it's old and it's completely dirty, so we had to bring in all these.

Conditioning units and they they put these giant tubes into, and it just blew literally like fifty years worth of gold ink in the air. I have a lot of our lives in short by tens. Please enjoy the heat to class. I was in the office of decades of news breaking stories, exact ordering general comes on the back somebody no, but it was also really really really great. Love, love, boss. Another heats now that he's done it's about to. It means basically out of your hands with yelling it's about what, when all that was the premier June, twenty eighth, two twenty eight. So once that happens, are you working on and the next thing that you do yeah? I got the next thing. I I wrote it in the the studios all set to do it, we're just trying to figure out who's going to play the lead. So it's it's a it's like a female James Bond. I'm only a little big tall with it. I can range

I got you re surprise, but now we say about a comedy If you just remind me that I was, I was on a treadmill your day and watching mission and partly original mission impossible movie, yet a topic which I had not seen in a long time which already is so fucking dated the power. Go Estevez knock list phones with it with it with the little nubby in five years, but here's what that movie did that set up the style of breaking into anywhere in a high tech movie that set up the style of that was the first one, with pressure on the door and like the sweat and also set up that you can that we have this crazy mask technology. That does not exist where it's just like. He pulls up Jon Voight's thing right now and mission of Oswald TV show, but my way that the body like face just like face up anyway,

We have it by the way. If you just want to look like someone else, you just need the skin from their face, not their Bulgaria. I think the lambs taught us one thing one take away in your new movie. If John Hill can't do something I'll shave, yes, that does the lambs also taught me that I can just throw commit people of the course do that I not act like it took a what else you gonna do in a prison has do been prison. Is anybody watching Hannibal downward? Oh that's! Right no? I haven't I did I ever had, and I was watching my like that meds, where he was hello a shift. That's the greatest bond movie of all. I agree with you I agree with you wholeheartedly of it, which one being around, because around interrupt it's good. It's hard to believe Martin Campbell would then go direct the green lantern, but he did what happened. I don't know I don't know
