Now we are so excited to introduce you to Cowboy Bebop's cast, and to start
talking with them about every fight, every plot twist and every Easter egg.
But first and foremost,
if you have not seen the show yet and you want to see what happens for yourself,
spoiler alert.
And here's where we invite our panel of bounty hunters
to discuss all things Cowboy Bebop, so please welcome Daniella Pineda.
She doesn't remember her past,
but she has a bright future, our Faye Valentine.
Hello.
And Mustafa Shakir, father of the year, Jet Black.
And of course, the humble bounty hunter himself,
John Cho.
Spike Spiegel
Hello everybody, it is so,
so great to have you here, thank you so much for being here today.
So for Spike, Cowboy Bebop explores his complicated
backstory with Vicious and Julia and the Syndicate.
How does that contrast with his dynamic with the Bebop crew?
I feel like he's hiding, you know, who he is.
So he's putting up a front and pretending to be someone else, someone that he's not.
So I think the tension for, for Spike through Season 1 is really trying.
to keep that under wraps, but it kind of unraveling against his will
and the kind of chaos that those secrets cause.
For Mustafa, Jet has been betrayed by so many people in his life,
by Chalmers, by his former partner and now by Spike.
What are Jet's goals for the future?
Jet has to come to terms with his past.
You know, I think this is a good moment to turn it all around.
You know, the bubble has been busted, like he realizes who Fad is,
I mean, so like his journey throughout the first season
is really coming to grips with this blind spot he has.
And so I feel like now that he knows, you know, the only place to go is up.
I mean for Jet, obviously. This could break most people, but I don't think Jet is one of those people that is easily broken.
So I, I think it's good things.
It's some strong medicine, but I feel like it's good things for Jet.
Faye's backstory was a huge part of the mystery of this season.
What are you most excited to find out about potentially next season?
I guess, like the viewers, I want to know who mom and dad are.
I want to know what was life like after school.
What was her just regular day to day, but also once
she finds out who that girl was,
does she still have anything in common with her?
Is that someone who resonates with her now?
How is that going to shape who she'll become?
And does she still know how to play the piano?
Very good question. You'll have to tune in.
Wow, you're good.
Thanks.
Thanks guys.
You said that there,
you mentioned to me that there was a little Easter egg
on the Bebop fridge, an homage to the original anime
Were there other Easter eggs
around the set that you guys put or that you were informed about?
Oh, everywhere, everywhere
from my costume.
My earrings were from the album cover of the original
My Funny Valentine.
I mean, literally, the detail in every little thing is just all over
the Bebop, all over the set incorporated into our costumes and wardrobe.
It's everywhere.
So like, look out for that.
What was it like to work with
it's like such a seasoned star on set.
You're talking about Ein the dog?
Yes, the dog.
Well, actually, funny enough, Ein, whose real name is what was between
Henry and Charlie, there are two Corgis, but both their first job.
Really?
So it was their first first gig.
Gosh.
And I'd say that was apparent. I don't know.
They had a lot of swag.
They wrote in a limo from the trailer to the set.
Yeah.
[Daniella] And you were,
There was a contract that you not allowed to look directly into the eyes?
[Erika] Right, right. [John] Of the dog.
[Daniella] And all sorts of riders in the contract. [John] You couldn’t look at their butt either.
[Daniella] Oh yeah. Yeah, that was pretty tough.
[John] To the other eye. [Daniella] Had a personal trailer.
White candles in the trailer. Only Green M&M's. I mean, super picky.
New young actors will always need to be housebroken, really.
Honestly. Totally.
There was, but there
there was a few days where Ein wouldn't come out of his kennel.
That was a problem.
This is real.
This is a comedy gold, everybody.
Hope you're appreciating it.
This is, this is, if you can believe it.
This is improvised.
We didn't even script this out.
It's so good.
That is the magic of jazz, my friend.
Hey, Buckaroos. Like what you what you just saw?
