No, no, no, no, no, no

The coroner said it was an accident, but it was no accident
0:13
It was a monkey. Can you talk to me a little bit about how you chose to cast yourself in this movie
0:19
I just, you know, I wrote the part. The part came first
0:24
I didn't, I wasn't writing a part for myself. It was inspired by Randy Quaid in National Am Poon's Vacke
0:29
Real tomato ketchup patty? Oh, nothing but the best. Deep affinity for that movie
0:35
That was a really formative movie for me when I was a kid. Likewise, the swimming pool is from vacation
0:40
We actually shot a scene of that actress driving a red Ferrari
0:44
We just didn't put it in the movie. It didn't fit in the picture
0:48
Watching it, I was like, oh, is this Christmas vacation or is this fast time? So I'm curious. I'd love to hear a little bit more about that
0:54
You know, a lot of what I do is supposed to be reminiscent of other things
0:58
things. It's supposed to have pop value, pop in the sense of sort of war halls pop, right
1:04
Reframing something that everybody understands and sort of giving it importance because it's
1:08
understandable, because it's generic. I'm kind of elevating that stuff. National Impoon's Vacation
1:15
was just one of those movies at a certain time of my life that really meant a lot to me, like really, really landed for me. And the movie was supposed to feel like a, they're supposed
1:23
to have a sort of a sentimental nostalgia to it. And the only way I know how to do that
1:27
do that is to insert my own sentimental nostalgia. I can't guess what your sentimental nostalgia
1:33
might be. So I just went for the stuff that felt resonant to me and was playful
1:42
Everything okay up there? Yeah, everything's fine
