So let's cheers. To the lemonade. To hydration. Mmm
0:12
So this watch, you were telling me, it's from high school, which is adorable
0:16
It is. It's not adorable. I think it's adorable. I don't keep anything from high school
0:22
It's an indiglo. Okay. So if you, and unfortunately it's not dark, so you can't really see it
0:27
but if you push this button, it lights up blue. It's for two reasons. One, which is I wake up in the middle of the night
0:33
never know whether or not it's time to get up or it's time to go back to sleep
0:37
Or time to go out and fight crime. Exactly. But the real reason is, when you watch movies
0:44
and you become aware of them, there are certain things that will happen. There'll be, at the end of 20 minutes, you should have met everyone in the story
0:53
and you should know what the hero wants, and what's keeping the hero from getting it, and then off we go
1:00
Off we go. So you have 20 minutes to sort of figure all that out
1:04
And then in an hour, there'll be some kind of twist that what the hero thought he wanted, he doesn't want anymore
1:14
or she's changed the story in some way. Or somebody's been betrayed
1:19
All of that happens usually at the one-hour mark. And then, this is in a two-hour movie
1:23
So I started to become very aware of, naturally, when things would happen
1:28
And so, I'd be in a movie theater, and I'd need to know what time it was
1:33
But I learned a lot of it at movies that were like 90 minutes. So it was really easy to sort of figure out
1:39
We should probably talk about New York Comic Con. This is probably, I'm going to go out there on a limb and say
1:44
this is not your first one. Been 20 years. 20 years? Yes
1:49
20 years. But I came here in different guises. So first level is you come to find work
1:55
The second phase was then you become panel guy. Okay. And so you're out promoting either your comic or your television show
2:05
or whatever it is that you're doing here. But then when I went to Marvel, which was 11 years ago
2:14
it just depended on how many shows we had. Okay. Yeah. Because at one point you had, like, what, five
2:21
Well, we had 16 total, but at one given year, about five. Okay
2:27
And one of my favorite memories was we announced the Defenders. And so Charlie Cox came and Kristen Ritter came and Mike Colter came
2:37
John Bernthal came out at the beginning. And then at the very end we said
2:44
we can't do this show without a villain. And we brought out Sigourney Weaver and it just blew the roof off
2:53
And then we just said goodnight. Wow. She was like, so we're going to have a Q&A
2:58
And I was like, no, you're just going to come out and wave and then we're going to say goodbye. And she was like, why did I get up in the morning
3:05
And I was like, this is going to be awesome. It'll be great
3:09
That's awesome. And she was just, she was everything you want Sigourney Weaver to be
3:14
That's awesome. And then what was the other layer? The other layer. So you come as looking for work, you come doing panels
3:20
Now I'm back as a complicate. It's great because I hadn't signed in like 10, 12 years
3:30
Because when I started working at Marvel, they have a very strange rule, which is you can't have two jobs
3:40
Couldn't write. I could not write while I was the head of Marvel Television
3:45
Cheers, Jeff. Cheers. Thank you so much. Thanks and welcome to the show
