Hi, guys.
How you doing today? Good, thanks. How are you?
I'm very good. Thank you very much.
Congratulations on such an incredible show.
I'm like two episodes in and I'm already addicted to it.
Oh, thank you.
It's really good.
What, you you guys, the project initially.
For me, it was just the fact that I couldn't.
It it is.
It's a wild, wild script.
It's a wild journey.
And it didn't seem easy.
It didn't seem like this is the tone, this is the vibe.
Okay, so we're doing this thing.
It was one of those scripts where you read it and you're like,
I'm not really sure how to do this and how to play these things.
And because it just sort of jumps from place to place.
And backed by the tone, the tone and,
and so like trying to
trying to like sort of categorize it
and categorize different pieces of it
in these neat little boxes just didn't work.
And I think that's that's exciting and really fun that it's just sort of this
wild thing that feels very organic and specific and specific
to his vision.
Yeah.
And I also, I, I was really drawn by how unexpected it was and how unique it is.
And then also Andy Siara's involvement and Will... Will was signed on.
and we worked together before and I love Will and I was just like,
Well, this is a no brainer
I was going to talk about
because you've got incredible chemistry together on on screen.
How is it developing not just a good chemistry and a believable relationship,
but also one that's ten years later I'm bringing all that into the relationship.
I mean, I think we have this
we have
a wonderful shorthand with each other from working together before.
But also I've said this a lot today.
I feel like that Lady Gaga clip like there only needs to be one person
out of 100.
But like I said so many times, but I do believe, like I will follow
will anywhere and like I just feel very locked in with him and I trust him.
And I think he's brilliant and like,
I think that we just I don't know, I when you have that
level of trust, you can sort of go anywhere and explore anything.
And we tried a lot of different things in the first couple episodes,
specifically what you're two to what you're talking about.
Like how do you do?
How do you show these people that love each other but are best friends?
And this there's not any more passion there.
It's like, is it a marriage or is it just two people afraid to leave?
Like, what is this? And the sort of like ambiguity of that?
And also
how do you show that there was one love there
while also showing that this has maybe run its course?
And I think it's because I just trust him so much
that we can try so many different things.
And then they chose the things that best showed that I guess.
Yeah, and I feel the same about Christin.
I think it's like, you know, something that's really that
I feel like sort of contributes to the energy that we have is that we're both
we're both a couple of chuckleheads and I think that's true.
Something that is that
where the relationship is perhaps a little bit more fraught
to round out like there needs to be a piece
of something where you understand why these people were together or what.
Yeah.
Or how they're friends and, and I feel like
our natural tendency is to make a lot of jokes
and then just to play and do whatever and to be random is now.
And I think that we just sort of
with all of the subtext in the script and all of those
all of those, you know, the
sort of the tension in the relationship, it's like I think underneath it is just,
you know, me just finding Cristin very funny and very interesting
outside, you know, like outside of the script.
And so it's like there's still like I'm like, yeah, maybe this isn't working,
but I still really like you a lot, and I don't know what to do with that.
That's amazing.
Um, this is kind of a weird reference, but the kind of centric relationship
reminds me of this Bjork song called Hyperballad, where it starts
out. That's my favorite.
Yeah, go ahead.
It's my favorite song of all time. I of.
Yeah, it's that.
And it just reminds you
that ever is kind of like latching on to this murder mystery
because she's in a stagnant relationship that she feels safe in.
Yeah. Oh, I love that you're.
I used to listen to I had like a, um,
I worked at an amusement park when I was 19.
I was like a singer and dancer at this amusement park, and it was like a
really I did like six shows a day and I was sort of like
dropping out of college and was sort of like wildly depressed.
And I would have this long car ride to work every day and I would blast Hyper
Ballard for as many times as I could in that car ride.
And it was specifically the one she does with the orchestra,
which is is like, I can't even I can't
I still can't listen to it without fully, like bursting into tears.
It is a perfect song. I love it.
And such an apt reference for this marriage to.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah. That's like nerd out about it.
But like, oh well
I'm so
glad I got and I was like, this is, I think about Bjork like really?
I mean, I always yeah, like, yeah.
So then like kind of a pose that no one seems quite content.
William in his relationship as opposed to Emma who's kind of seeking out
kind of like other thought to reignite that spark.
Yeah.
You know, I think there's like,
I think that he's content
and but I'm not sure that he's
happy with the way things are.
I think that it's like,
you know, I think that he feels like there is an allotment of happiness
that one is allowed.
And you once you hit that place,
you know, like shut up and be thankful.
And and so, you know, I think that he's
it's in a way, it's almost like
because I think the bad part of that is it can also lead to inertia,
which I think is a big part of of Noah's character, in that he's
just like, well, I don't really need to to question a whole lot.
Right. What it is.
And you know, like that's not necessarily useful in a relationship,
especially one where things that sort of like the threads have been sort
of all teased out and things are starting to unravel a bit.
And, um, and that's,
that's, that's so it's like, yeah, he's content in a way,
but I think he's also a bit inert and that,
you know, that's, that's, that's tough when there's work to be done.
Amazing. What an incredible answer.
Thank you so much for talking with me today.
I can't wait for people to see this show.
It's wonderful and I think you guys.
So thank you.
Thank you.
