Photos. Uh-oh
0:02
So I want you to open your phone, go to Photos. Emily, why are you looking so nervous
0:08
Emily looks terrified. Absolutely terrified. Oh, my... Oh, Paul's bottom. Hey! A new show out today on Disney+
0:17
It's the big show of the week. It's called Vision Quest. For anyone who is not across the MCU
0:24
here's Emily to explain the fundamental principles of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
0:30
that connects all 37 movies and all 60 of the superheroes that feature
0:36
Emily, over to you. Good knowledge. Yeah, I do feel like this is something that a veteran should take the baton for
0:43
I wouldn't want to take that away from... But you said you'd work on this. Yeah. Let the professional take it
0:51
Unbelievable. I knew this was a bad idea, having you come on this one
0:54
So in this, it's the end of a trilogy of WandaVision and Agatha all along
1:01
And in this, we meet Vision as White Vision, who has had his memories returned to him
1:07
but is unable or unwilling, perhaps, to attach any feelings to those memories
1:12
There are two parts to the show. One takes place inside his head in a place called the Mind Space, a bit like Inside Out
1:17
I'll explain that part because that's when I come in. Okay, I'll leave that to you. And the only bit of the script you read
1:23
and then there is an external quest and we find him he's working in a small pub
1:29
in Scotland and it happens to be the pub that he and Wanda
1:35
frequented when they first fell in love Aww Okay, so my part is
1:41
So this is the first time we're seen through Vision's eyes and getting inside his head
1:48
literally, like we go inside his head into, like he said, the mind space
1:53
but the way I said it was better, like the mind space. And inside there are all the AIs from the MCU
2:01
Like there's Friday, Jarvis, Edith, who I play, and upstairs locked in the attic is Ultron
2:09
And we are all teaching him how to be human, which is kind of strange since none of us actually were all AIs
2:17
What is it like being part of such a big franchise and kind of following, I guess
2:22
because people were just obsessed, aren't they, with the whole superhero model
2:26
It's really mostly great. Tell us the bad bit. No, honestly, mostly the thing is fantastic
2:37
There was one moment where I was getting a phone call about my dad who was about to die
2:42
and I was, like, really upset, and I was on the street taking the phone call from the social worker
2:47
and then I felt this arm around me, and I went, what's going on? And I thought, initially, I was like
2:51
oh, somebody's hugging me because they can see I'm in a state, and then I realized he was taking a selfie
2:57
I was literally crying. I was like, oh, bye. But mostly it's been just fantastic
3:05
Changed my life. Has allowed me to make other films that I want to make
3:11
in a more relaxed fashion because I know I've got work coming up. It's allowed me to not work and stay at home with my kids
3:18
It's really... I can't wait until that part happens to me. and Vision has been a part of the MCU since the early days, right
3:29
Vision was initially I played Jarvis and Jarvis was kind of just a voice
3:35
just his Tony Stark's AI and he was kind of folded into Vision when Vision was born
3:41
but 20 years. Wow. 20 years and then 11 as Vision. I mean, it's been a crazy ride for me
3:50
It's been amazing. Emily obviously having had the experience of really being on set immersing yourself in it what was the maddest thing they put you through Well to me the maddest thing was having a working elevator in a set
4:02
because I'm used to like Schitt's Creek. You open a door and like the whole set shakes
4:06
Or whenever I've done an elevator in a show, there's usually two guys on either side trying to make the doors close really perfectly
4:16
but this, you go in a working elevator inside a mansion that they built inside a set
4:23
That was like... I think the craziest thing was making you parachute through a skylight
4:29
Yeah, except I didn't get to do it. That's why it's not my... Why did you..
4:33
You didn't have to say that. Why would you say that? You got stunt double
4:38
No, I'm Emily Hampshire. I do my own stunts. So you've been doing that your whole time
4:43
saying that you've done your own stunts when I know you haven't. I haven't. Can you say that if you haven't done it
4:49
I used to do all my own stunts, and then I saw a stuntman, they wouldn't let me do this one thing
4:54
and I saw this stuntman do this flip, and I was like
4:59
oh, he just moves so much better than me. Let's use him in everything
5:04
And then I stand up and go, like, I don't want to. If I was going to get a stunt double
5:09
I would make sure they were sort of like more toned, like a bit younger, firmer bottom
5:14
the usual kind of thing. I would want that. I would want that. Do you guys have any influence over that
5:19
No, not really. Don't forget, Paul's no stranger to nudity on film
5:23
That's true. We have seen... Yes. I mean... That's true. So was that your bottom though
5:29
or was that a body double? This is what we're getting at. Are we talking about
5:33
my bottom in a night's tale? I wasn't actually. I was thinking about..
5:38
My bottom was in a night's tale. That was your bottom. That was certainly my bottom. I actually remember shooting it
5:44
And I got a knock on the door. We were in Prague, and I got a knock on the door
5:49
and I'm supposed to have sort of lost all my clothes, and I've gambled all my clothes away
5:54
And knock on the door, I went, who is it? And they went, costume. And I went, costume
5:59
Okay, come in. And this woman came in, and she had one day glow sock
6:08
And I went, what's that for? And she went, well, you know, you put it on
6:12
and I went, why would I put it on? And she went, well, in case you're embarrassed
6:17
And I went, I can only think of one thing that's more embarrassing than walking down the street
6:23
without a Dayglo sock on my... It's very funny. Hilarious. Wasn't there nudity in Wimbledon
6:31
Oh, that was my bottom too. That was your bottom? Yeah, but that was the old bottom
6:37
That was the 20-something bottom. I'm not sure anybody needs to see this
6:42
But now you can use that bottom now. If you do a movie now
6:46
you can use my old bottom. Just use it. Use the old bottom
6:52
It's quite cute once. We're just going to put Vision Quest behind us for a moment
6:55
because I want you to get your phones out. Okay. Because we are going to have a quick round of app roulette
7:01
Okay, okay. All right, so we're going to spin the wheel. Okay. First up, we have..
7:08
It's going to land on... I'm not scared. This is good, I think. Photos. Uh-oh
7:15
So I want you to open your phone, go to photos. Emily, why are you looking so nervous
7:21
Emily looks terrified. Absolutely terrified. Oh, my... Oh, Paul's bottom. Hey! It's a callback, Joe
7:29
Brilliant. What is the last photo? And I want you to show Zoe
7:33
and Zoe, I want you to describe the photo. Okay, genuinely. Really my last photo
7:37
Go on, show me. Show Zoe, and Zoe can describe it. This is legitimately my last photo. Go, go, go
7:42
Oh, hang on, it's in dark. Oh, it's a blank screen. That is my last photo. Oh, that is it
7:46
No, you can't get away with that. No no I telling you What the one before that What the one before that It my Oh my contact lens prescription Oh my gosh it is her contact lens prescription I can confirm it Very important
7:57
Okay, can I ask why you've got a photo of your contact lens prescription in your photo
8:02
I was trying to think, I was like, oh, I need more contact lenses. I'll take a photo and then..
8:07
To remember it. To remember what my prescription is. Oh, that's what I do. That's the beginning of the end
8:12
I do that when I pop my car. I take photos of emails to remind me
8:16
Why haven't you answered that email? This is what happens to an aging superhero, folks
8:21
Just so you know. What's your last photo? Mine is of a pair of down pants that I thought were slightly handsome
8:30
What are those? They're like ski pants. Ski pants. Like ski trousers. I have a place in Vermont and it's very cold
8:36
Like salopets. Yeah, they look like salopets. Oh, sort of 70s vibe
8:40
Oh, okay. They're very cool. I like those. Thank you. I really like them. And they're very you from what I'm looking at
8:45
Yeah, they're very me. You should get those. That's my purchase. Thank you
8:48
Okay, good. Should we spin the app roulette wheel once more? Do it again. Do it again
8:53
Do it again. We're going again. We're going again. That's my bottom. We have WhatsApp
8:59
We've got voice notes. That's notes. Notes. Do you use notes? I do
9:04
Okay, this will be good. So I want you to go to notes, find the app
9:08
and then I want you to read out the last... No, no, what is it? Order the trousers
9:14
What does it say? this is so humiliating okay it's Jennifer and Paul's
9:19
lifelong mad cribbage tournament now this is Jennifer your wife yes and we play
9:24
a card game together and I've literally never won Jennifer leads five matches to nil wow
9:31
I mean at some point it's not luck you know what I mean
9:34
how often does this game happen you're the problem it's been going on
9:38
for years and I've literally never won a match how long does the match
9:42
go on for how long can that take Okay, so it's done like a tennis match
9:47
so we play three sets of cribbage. And cribbage is... It's an old person's game
9:51
Cribbage is an old person's game. You play and you have pegs in a thing that goes all the way around
9:58
Oh, I'm not at that stage of life yet. Is it fun? It comes to us all in the end. Emily
10:02
Where is it from? It's a British game. I feel like mine's really embarrassing
10:06
What's embarrassing as that? I literally have one open the notes. Okay, I have
10:11
so it's the subject line is greeters to remember and greeters to remember
10:18
when you get got to the airport when you're fancy when you're fancy
10:24
to like meet you and there's nothing I love more than a greeter
10:28
and being treated through the airport like a like an unaccompanied child
10:33
and I have her name is Anita and she's the best one at YYZ and
10:40
she has really nice white hair and a daughter. Oh, wow. Okay, so what happens when you have a Greta
10:47
So, it's the greatest thing in the world. You get out of your car and they're there
10:51
and they take you through the airport like you could, it's like you could close your eyes
10:57
Emily Hampshire, woman of the people. And just so we're clear, you make a note
11:02
so the next time you see her, you can go, hey, how's the daughter? Yes. So you just cheat
11:06
You don't even, you don't really care about these people at all. I do because she was really nice and so I want to remember
11:13
And because of the age, because I'm getting old. It hasn't changed you. It hasn't changed you
11:17
No. Emily Hampshire keeping it surreal. Okay, we've got time for one more
11:22
Okay. So we've still got other apps in there. We've got your phone app
11:28
We have Instagram. WhatsApp is going to be good. WhatsApp is going to be great. We've got music and Uber
11:33
Oh, so all we need you to tell us is your Uber rating. 4.92
11:38

11:43
It because you famous Yeah it because I famous And I tip like a mm Oh well there you go That why Because I want that rating 4 4 What did I do wrong You not tipping
11:54
Oh, but mine's worse than yours. That's how maybe... It's the time you swore at the Uber delivery sky
12:00
Oh, because... Oh, wait. This merges with Uber Eats? Could do. Okay, because I'm very good in a car
12:06
I'm very not good with food that hasn't come. That arrives cold. Okay
12:11
Yeah. Or that went to my neighbor. you live in Toronto and somebody had to cycle through the
12:17
tundra that is that town and they show up and you're like
12:21
it's cold I'm cold Emily no tip Emily let's talk about Schitt's Creek
12:29
please please can you say Schitt's Creek here there it is it's been said
12:37
it felt like a bit of a I mean I was a huge fan it felt like a bit of a slow burn
12:43
And it felt like people just got on board with it and then it finished. How did you find it
12:47
Do you miss it? Oh, yeah, I definitely miss it. It was the greatest job ever, especially for me
12:53
I got to sit behind a desk and do nothing and make fun of people
12:59
But yeah, it started and nobody was really watching for the longest time
13:06
And then COVID happened and they had no choice but to watch. And then, yeah, it really kind of blew up
13:12
and then we were done. So it blew up when we all had no jobs
13:17
Right. Yeah. You're like, are you sure you don't want to recommission it? Yeah. Please
13:21
Well, everybody wanted, it was like, Dan, redo it. But he really, he knew the ending to that story from the beginning
13:27
and it was the right ending. Are you still in touch with some of the cast
13:32
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a family, hey? Yeah. People talk about this sort of golden age of TV
13:36
and that show was very much part of it. Obviously, the Vision Quest is out now on Disney+
13:42
How has it changed, Paul? Was there a time when you were thinking, TV was the sort of, I want to do films, I want to do movies
13:48
I'm not interested in TV. That's a great question. How has that changed over the last sort of 10 years
13:53
I remember that time. I got a TV show in Canada and I got out of my contract
13:58
because I was like, I don't want to do television. I want to be in films
14:02
Yeah. Yeah, that time is over. Is that snobbery gone? I think that snobbery is gone
14:07
I mean, partly necessarily so because they're making a third of the films
14:12
that they used to make. And also, the TV just got better
14:17
and it's kind of where all the smart writing went. And so, yeah, I think that snobbery is over
14:25
And presumably that's because the money involved now in these TV shows is crazy, right
14:31
I mean, the stream has just changed everything. He's asking how much he got paid. That's what he's asking, okay
14:37
I'm kind of not going to get into that right now. It's awkward, isn't it, when he does that
14:41
They've done it to all the guests. But I think you're right that it is the writing that started
14:46
I think it started with Mad Men was one of the first ones where everybody was like an AMC
14:52
Nobody heard of it, but the writing was so good and then all writers started to go there
14:57
But Vision Quest looks like a film. I mean, for all intents and purposes, the way it's made, is it done, that film it kind of..
15:05
I mean, it's Marvel and you're getting some of the greatest, artists, technicians in the world
15:13
wanting to come and play with that brand new equipment. And it's, you know
15:19
the quality of the work, I think, is really extraordinary and needs to be
15:26
We are out of time, I'm afraid, but it's been lovely to have you both on the show
15:29
You can see it on Disney Plus from today. It's called Vision Quest. A huge thanks to Paul Bettany and Emily Hampshire
15:34
Thank you very much. Thanks, guys. you
