Now today we are very, very lucky to be joined by the creator and stopped at the biggest tv show on the planet right now, shits creek,
stop level high everybody. What an honour and a thrill this is for me. The order is all that I'm gonna progress. Despite thing, I just bought a house, and I am for the this time in my new house and I'm more excited about what we are about to do than actually being in my new home. What a household I saw you in America, Canada and a month. You know me listen to the protests and currently, in LOS Angeles, where I have been listening to it nightly. It's been a wonderful thing and I will say, like an intense binge of these books is I'm very concerned from my mental health. I mean you know, I'm in the process. It figuring out what I'm doing next and I will say that having this as sort of it
Can you in the early stages of developing new ideas, is a wonderful thing for any writer or even if you think you have real trust in your own abilities net sadaijin like I could write them by the real the competence. This your confidence suited In his work is something that we can all learn from totally so yet, let's let's talk about it, because how are you finding book five, it's getting quite complicated, isn't it appears why I talk about it being a sort of intellectual and psychological challenge, because I don't think I'll ever be able to keep up with Does the sheer complexity of this piece of art down? Do not call it. I will say that every time that I am confused, you are confused and that makes me feel comfort. It cannot, I mean like it moves
it's a lot faster than anything I'm used to in my life, I'm just barely keeping well, I feel my dad's finally found plot a mean shit plot, but stuff is happening for the for the first time ever in this book, and it's coming at a rate of Nazi Roy areas completely cinematic at this point, and also there is a murder, their people have been murdered. Enemy like before it was like office place acts now we're actually dealing with dead bodies and in fish is sorted out of what I would call like an international criminal. At this point, I think, when you bomb something that's an act of terrorism and the authorities went away quite quickly. And the consequences never really landed, and then we actually meet the person who
Who is orchestrating all of this, and nobody decided to really put an end to his life yeah that he's gonna. Let bitch go, I mean that they somewhat they might want for dinner with them and then just gate themselves, it was rubbish, but I feel like to let him live is letting him suffer enough from the man's not well, but he lives that that's. Why I'm also we want to be at the vanguard of unusual report on Terra Romntica Tear Erotica is absolutely what it is, and I have learned to many descriptive in the process of listening and reading this book I mean remember able gas is word that I hope to involve in my own work at some point, and I think this is really profound contributions to the english language and run celebrating what I love about. The writing is that it can be, on one hand, completely descriptive,
We know everything about a person and then, on the other hand, there is like a lot of use of like and stuff wait a minute? I know literally the fabric that is being unbuttoned underlined a shirt, but I also don't know where they are oh when they are or when they are or whose, in the room, the addition of people to a room is also a really good. They are easily arrival if this were ever turned into a television show this year may of it all like it would be like a twilight Zone episode. Is that how you would see it down? Would you see it as a kind of hybrid? It would be a sort of horror me I mean. Is it coming some of its kind of slapstick there's. Definitely some slapstick there's. Definitely some terror high intrigue thriller. I could see it living unlike facts here in Amerika. I don't know whether there is like an effects version of whatever that would be in the UK. We D been happy with straight
dvd, so yeah sure gray, its beards s tape. You just have to see what? Where do you think it's all going? How do you think it's gonna end where'd, you think rock he's gonna take the plot from here I mean I know it's hard to predict, but if you gonna take charge of the direction, what would you would you? So I will say this to sell is one of my favorite characters and I feel like
she is, and we would be at this were tv show were film would be sort of who I would lean on in terms of driving a lot of story, because Belinda I mean what I will set a Belinda that I find to be. I guess a wonderful attribute is that she so even keel that even when she's enthusiastic about something that is still the plans is incredibly laissez faire. Yes, she doesnt really have extremes of emotion now, which essentially like when I listen to it. In my mind and picturing started like a lifeless rag doll that sort it gets tossed about and may be smiles from time to time. That is ok generally with that yeah she's, like driftwood, pretty driftwood
Exactly you can sort of like place her anywhere and she'd. Be fine people be shouting with the headphones in that they feel like she's, a much more well balanced and well rounded, you know feminist icon of a character. I mean I would obviously shout over them and tell them they were wrong, but I'm down you are you not necessarily making friends be herself her? No, I know I just don't get me wrong. I am not saying that isn't completely complicated and that someone in some sort of academic facility should be writing a dissertation on her and what she represents. So I just feel like I'm really fascinated by the Gazelle of the whole situation, because I do feel like they are polar opposite. That sort of create the man. Attic energy of the shop- oh yeah I mean Multiverse clots versus blumenthal- is gonna, be one of those discussions that will carry on for years. The fact that these names are the most and memorable
more memorable. Maybe it's like. If you are pitching a tv show when you came in with these names, some network executive would be like well, nobody would be able to figure this out that I am still unclear. Undissolved last name, don't know how to spell it still difficult to say. Alas, I rest my case, we have approved the forty zero accurately. Ever it is truly a masterpiece. It's a combination. I mean you know you're selling, out arenas at this point, so I don't need to tell you why it works. You guys do live, shows as well. I got in there sit down, you have so much fun. And there's don't you have so much fun, yes and my so mad. We start our second world to elections, Conway? I know I have to come to one of the date yeah. You got here, humming LOS Angeles, yeah, of course. Ok.
I will be there in the audience. Watcher comes at Helsinki and second, not selling so well. Lighted, New Zealand I'll do I'll go wherever you are, a full roadie ban tour yeah. Just slowly have you hire someone to keep me away yet to test then we're like allay would be way too easy I'll, just document the journey to Helsinki. I never actually made it there, but I heard the show- his grasp. We might make it very clear that we will hopefully be a person is always one. That's nice to have more intimate. Isn't so if you sell your favorite character, who would you play Obviously, it has been a lot of talk about the movie version of Belinda blinked, so this drop teeny alienate stop. Who would you like to play? If nothing then just a physical descriptor? I guess tat grim,
ass. If all this is that the scripture came up, I was like well, this is me, and then I guess it was a very flattering depiction of my body that big rimmed, by name thick remit by nature, to be exactly my question to you is when is this movie actually happen Well, that is the question of mean we are having you know, Spielberg's interest to have a Marines interested. He sought after advertise gonna, do Belinda bling James on D. Ask that you have a cast of actors that would you would have funding for this movie in a heartbeat, so we'll talk after this is all done. Could I really want to help this get made who would write. The scream like Rocky would have to own book to scream like Ale James, that I guess with fifty show that what so So I'm just happy this outbreak Talbot. This, though I am throwing something out there, I feel a rocky and David Lynch.
Oh right it something together. I feel. Like Lynch's films exist in that strange spaces like what is happening. What did I just look at? It would be artful if we like, brought in a David Lynch type figure to really help. How do I described this refine? Maybe some of the rough edges of rockies writing and really would serve raise the bar in terms of what we could actually do or say stay with that. I would just like to briefly the wall in that room where rocketing David Lecture, brainstorming, yeah. That's the documentary that sort of supplementary content for all of us know. My gold David Hinges, light rocky. We need to be more mainstreaming. Has there been sort of a common actress? The people have pitched for Belinda that sort of at the forefront of our casting search
that's the one role we nobody wants to claim, and I don't know why I will say this: the character spaces from the artwork on the book, at least from the ones that you can purchase in America. It is I'm not gonna like there's a lot of Lemme LOS Angeles, that look like those character you can find Anne Boleyn does, in the city of LOS Angeles, not so shocking way and I felt lay offs are in full swing right now. Vandal sports book is giving new users there first bet risk free. That means you can place any bet within seven days of signing up and fund will sports, but will refund you up to five hundred bucks in sight credit, if you don't win download the vandals sports book out from the Iowa, Appstore or visit fanned, will dot com, slash, Android and be sure to use promo code a cast? That's a c est. He must, between one years, older and present, a new jersey and peddling
Cyprus is not. Withdrawal expires. Fourteen days after a seat, turban restrictions apply gaming problem called when a hundred gambler down. It would be remiss. Get you wanted, not ask you for Jamie's benefit, really how you deal with the Father son Dynamics of the you work with your dad in ways it's quite similar and in words it's quite different. I don't really have you're with the reality of my dad describing the inner folds of a and show vagina living anyway, now you're lucky that annual stow. In my mind, I have the sort of safety and security of of just pretending like that, doesn't exist to him, although you say he was in. Maybe the most iconic scene about a father and son kind of having a sexual moment Compiling was that. How do you in that came out? I was right in high school so pandemic.
Basically, it could have been Jason bags in that maybe I mean there was a chapter of my life growing up where people used to ask me whether the show was a biography of my life, and I have had an interesting life like that. I was not fucking pies. Unfortunately, We know that on the record the moon came out. I will ensure it with an epidemic of this people, fucking pies. That was not me. He did not walking on me having sex the pie, The movie was not about my life. Sadly, stop saying. If we get it wasn't, you have also done that you were doing sexy non shits, creek and season, one that you tat was present. My dad has become very proud of me, and my sister is bright. Sisters on the show is welcome and Really likes to be in all the scenes, but he's not in you really likes to sort of cheer from the sidelines, and there was
in in season, one where I was in bed with the character Stevie and I got to appoint Rosa. Can someone just tell my dad to leave? I dont think you need to be here. I don't think it's benefiting him. It's definitely not benefiting me like. I dont need the stage that happening right now. I love the idea. Was someone being Eugene, ah there's something those required of you and make up right now. Are you some squeaky boys in turn coming up in, like Mr Lovett, can you come with me for a certain windows, the act, actors, evocative you wouldn't stab. I haven't an overarching question for you. I have tried and I've thought about it, and I've made notes about at Belinda. Blinking is there more to it? Does she blink at a particular moment? her life is there any connective tissue to. Why and when he says no connective tissue between her is down
no. I think she always blinks when she's surprise. Yes, when something hasn't gone, the way that she perceived it interfering, ok, because Rocky is so good at keeping track of characters and throwing them in the next when you least expect them, I feel it there has to be some sort of order to when he selects to write Belinda Blink, because also other people blinked. I may as well not always seems to be pertinent exactly yeah. Usually it's also at an end of the trappers, so it might be very like a narrative device of Florida. Curious to know whether there was something deeper. Their gathers fun things right, but when she blinks has something to do something, temporal is something to do with time trot
why I think it was Rachel Bloom who said that every time she blinks she takes mental photographed. The is then said to rocky in the past or future. Our common Rachel, though, that she was from the future issues like an alien rising. That's what that would explain. Alot yeah, because the other thing is, she doesn't do it very often, which would suggest she's, not human cause. She blink site once a day of Cyprus, which is a hot, very dry eyes. Eyes are sort of robotics felt lubricated able that's the, but one incredible humanoid. If she is because she's lubricated another department that's true, maybe it's all channel to one area. So maybe this is what it does. Anyone how these sex robots are getting more and more evolve. It is old, new industry who's to say. We ve seen acts makin. They can do terrible and wonderful thing. Oh my god. What if everyone Belinda
linked, isn't an alternate use of universe, whether all sex robots and that's why they're emotions away dad detail on holiday to Tokyo into acid and fellow t, oh, no! No! I'm buying into this theory. It sounds very good. Yeah does become something isn't. It explains why there is so much that I mean she once had sex like what eight times in one day and granted that day was felt like a full year, but it was a multiple partners which Reno live your life, but you know it would explain the like constant, yeah need and and and finding herself in these precarious situations where she just sort of slips into a sexual scenario Kai by EVA Sir we're down. You said he you would like to play potentially do you feel, like Poland,
is accidently, maybe the most contemporary and so a feminist pornography. Ever I dont awaiting him up, like short answer, absolutely because you know I feel like we're conditioned in today's society to be so aware of consent and when there's not consent, and I'm always the time I listen, she is consent truly engaged in all of these scenarios. Yeah correct me: if I'm wrong, I know she is absolutely very empowered woman, and that is, I think, an and you know it sorry message to send out there I mean she has never in a compromise the tuition and she's, not opening herself up those who speak to people that she does not want. No and she's in control of every single sexual liaison. She heard a thing we ve talked about there being no shame in Belinda blinked about wanting or sat and who you want sex with. There's no discussion about
labels about you know my gay and my by national issues like I want have cited here. I want to have sex with that's really fraying and on another. No, like just loves our results. I mean it's, it's promoting something in a safe and free and lovely space, and I'm not gonna lie. I felt empowered and thence. Hired by whether this gang you yeah. I'm sorry, I need to have sex more. Like your honesty, the only person found that this turns on I'm sure, there's more people there. Share my sentiments. I agree. A worrying about of couples listens to show in bed to go to sleep. That's right! That's really rope lab still than the amount of role play that this has inspired. Tour is culture. Defining the recovery is all over the world. That is that right. We listings gathered and whatever Belinda does
Putting this philosopher, like the great gate, is what a russian roulette isn't it. I think I could be anything using magically reduce with all that cream and none of whom there is your character in sheets Creek, his pants sexual. Yes, yes, we have a very similar approach on our show. You know wind, we dont discuss really sexuality and it's not a conversation. That's how it should be sleep with you. Everyone to sleep with no questions asked no shame attached and ultimately all better for it I mean the more open and free we can be with each other and the less shame that's attached to better and safer will be. So thank you, Belinda blank the only exception to that rule down I would It is doing it in a conference room out, work just offer sat me well who's to say real
I'm going to say, is I dont location share. That bet, there's a worrying about of similarities between your Shetland Belinda Blink of it growing by the sector, we are often compared to Belinda blinked and to me that is the greatest compliment. I could get that we have to say: The show has done, but normally, while is massive eggs of its considering. It's a very small sort of show that we make up in Canada were stunned him. You know we were all at the enemies this year and looking around sort of like dear cotton headlights, none of us quite new, why we were there or how we got there, but we were really really pumped to be to be there probably more than anyone else, because everyone plays it really cool at those things will I think, you'll get mean you gonna win that shit for the final seasons is gonna, be done, do so by
saying that that sort of means that its happening right, yeah officials of it, then yes, we are all in favour of all abridged, isn't right, something if I believe me stay out of it. I will say this: I have never been more happy to lose to wine or anything in my life show in her. It's a good. What is a good one to bow to so what you doing? You're, like you're, obviously coming to the end of yours, How will you ending it? Can you give us an exclusive little tippets home? You know it was really sad. We shut the last episode in June at the end of June and we ve all been really close, and I think when you go through something as life changing as this with a group of people that you really love, it's always sad to say goodbye, but fortunately we ve done something as as you all have
made people smile and that's quite an amazing thing in and a rare sort of privilege, though we're just excited about it. I think this shows gonna give the fans what they want. I think the last season is really you know: a marriage between servicing our characters, which I can't on this page cast servicing our characters and how giving the characters what they want and giving the fact that they want- and it was the hardest season to write, obviously because the expectations are high, but I think we did a really nice job of wrapping it all up. And hopefully people into it and it's coming out in January, and you know we'll see what do you think you'll stay in touch with light, yet and your sister, or would it be like once? Oh, oh god? No, no, no, no, no, not work were good.
You need it out of their history. I, under successfully the contract with the seven year, deal and we're after I will doubtless been so so great having on the show the text being such a link. You really out you serve as a defender of bank, you so much for having me and carry on and I'll see you on tour. Yes, seem an ally.
