Happy Thursday to everybody on the big thing. We got some topics to talk about, hey, remember when Kathleen Kennedy said that Kevin Feigy thing?

That was never a movie. That was never, that was the thing that people just kind of speculated was happening. It was never announced despite the fact that Kevin Feiggy said he was working on it, despite the fact that the Loki writer said he was working on it. Well, the Russo brothers said that they were in talks to potentially direct it. So who's telling the truth? We don't know. We'll talk about that. Dune, April. without a trailer. I'm excited for that one. And the other big thing is that, Guardians, it's coming out tomorrow, or actually tonight, really. It is on point to make $250 million global. We're excited about that. But what we are really excited about today, Roxy Stryer has been talking about shrinking the show on Apple with Harrison Ford and Jason Siegel for a long time. And I finally watched it. I loved it. It's one of my favorite shows that I've seen in a very long time.

well, Krista Miller, who plays Liz on the show, she is just a delight. So awesome. Roxy and I got to sit down and talk with her about the show, the writer's strike, you know, her time. Will there be a Scrubs reboot? So many different things we talked to her about. And it's a really great interview. She was, I mean, she was fantastic. So that'll be on this episode as well.

And of course, Roxy's going to give her TV picks. So that and more on this episode of The Big Thing with myself, Roxie Stryer, and the one and only Brett Sheridan. All right, let's do it. What up, everybody. Welcome back. It's big thing. It's me.

Roxanne Stryer. Oops, there he is, Brett Sheridan. Very nice. Strike a pose, Brett. Beastie boys. Oh, yeah. This is the first show we've done together in a while. Yeah, where you been?

Ralph's. Shopping a Ralph's. Where are you buying? Bananas and eggs. Not she's a beef. No. No. They don't sell that there.

Oh. Well, eggs, you're lucky. I found them. We're on a shortage. Yeah, it's expensive. High class living over here. Eating eggs? What kind of?

What do they think is? Eating eggs? Not on my watch, not in this economy. My kids are like, can we get eggs, Daddy? No. So, let me get this straight. You did a solo. show last week because you couldn't pay anyone and yet you went out and bought some

fucking thanks for your family that's wrong that was good it's good stuff how'd you like the line stop stop this stop how did you feel about the live show some people say I'm a star oh yeah did it was that your multiple personalities when you got home into the mirror might have been yeah what happened who told you a star just some people Who's that? You know what? Actually, there was a bunch of people after where it came out to me.

You know what's so funny? I get so many backhanded compliments. Such as? Like, honestly, if you could just hone your craft, you would be a star. Wow.

Who said that? You could just hone it in. Christian said that. I said it when you got offstate. I'm sorry. No, but I, it was Kate. That said that? No, no.

Kate texted me and said, you got a huge laugh and I felt really good about it. That's good. Because of my vagina. Well, yeah, so this is, now, because Brett and I are kind of like your big brothers, we got a bone to pick. Oh. Yeah.

You wish I hadn't talked about my vagina. No, it was hilarious. It was absolutely hilarious. And if you want to see Roxy talking about her vagina and other things, you can make sure you can go, you can still available. The replay for the entire life show is up at the Christianharlough.com. Oh, so many people have been asking me about that. Yeah.

That's where it is. Yeah. Yeah, you can get it used. You can either, if you're a member, any of the $10 and up members, you can see it, or you can buy it all a card. Okay, cool. So yeah. But you can see that.

No, no, no. This was it. So you came in smoking, coming in, wearing the outfit. Yeah. So Brett and I are talking about this yesterday, Brett. So Roxy comes in. Tell me this story about the bag. No.

Yes. On the chair? Are you saying on the chair? Yeah. Roxie's like, like, I love it. No, let him tell first. I, let's tell it first. Oh, my God.

She goes, I knew it. Where can I sit? I knew it. I go, do you want to sit where your giant bag is sitting? That is what, that is what happened. Now, let me tell you what fucking happened. Let me tell you what fucking happened. Here's what happened.

Okay. I'm just going to say it. That bag is bigger than you. Go ahead. I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it. You're going to disagree. Okay.

I'm going to say it. You're going to disagree. It's going to give me in a lot of trouble. I think that you spit it out. This is bad. Spit it out. I don't think that you should be a significant other in the green room when somebody who's performing doesn't have a seat.

There was no seat next to you, Brett. There was a fucking sliver. And I put my tiny ass fucking bag in the sliver. If I had sat there, I'd been on Brett's lap. And I said, Brett, I could try. And then you scoched over. But there was so many people back there. They didn't need to be there.

That didn't need to fucking be there. I'm sorry. I don't mean it like that because. I'm going to tell you that I don't disagree with you. I just, I had a friend who came with me and I said, wait the fuck outside. And that's, I'm not actually trying to throw shade at anybody. I know what you're saying. But the one, but I will say this.

There were people in there that had you, that had any one of us said, hey, we're trying to get people like our, they would have, it's, oh, no problem. Of course, but I shouldn't have to fucking say it. I know, but people were drinking too. Yeah, I know. And I wasn't. And then people are even more annoying. That's always the worst. That's always the worst when you're not drinking.

And everyone else says. But I will say this, as much. The outfit was fantastic. But I'm curious as far as with what we were wearing, where did you think you were going? You know what? 10 out of 10 times I would wear the same thing. This is what I called Steph. Where did you think you were going?

You've never worn something like that to the studio. So was it on brand? Yeah, not on brand at all. I called Steph beforehand and I said, I, everybody's going to be in jeans and a t-shirt tonight and I want to look like a fucking rock star. You're trying to outshine everybody? Yeah. I wore my nice shirt.

Yeah, I said, I want to look fucking amazing. Because also, like, what am I doing recently? I've got no, you guys, like, you remember, you go home to your loving families. I go home to nothing. So I was like, okay, I'm going to go out, and I'm going to look fucking dope, and I'm going to get some attention, and I'm going to go home, and then I'm going to cry in a corner. But at least I'm going to look silky. You definitely look silky.

There's no doubt about it. But yet you had to, well, it's funny. You had to sacrifice having a great. seat because you didn't want to flash everybody the goods. However, you got a good laugh out of it because of it. I did. I did. Yeah.

Thanks. Thanks for noticing. Nice job. Yeah. Well, I still think, you know. You think I'm going to get a lot of heat for that. I know that our friends had their people back there for support. I understand.

I think that there is, but it's also, you know, for Green Room and as it was the first show, people will know that, I mean, look, the good news is the New York Comedy Club, which I love, they have a stamp, the stamp. the Stanford room, there's a new green room that is apparently pretty big. The one in New York, it's like a, it's not a green room. It's a, it's a janitor's closet. If somebody wants to come back and like, say like, have a good show, and then leave, great.

But just sitting there. Remember also. Like, Koi didn't have a seat the whole fucking time. Right. The whole fucking time. And I'm like, Koi is in the show. Right. Koi can't sit down.

And I out loud, very loudly. passive aggressively, probably more aggressive than passively, said, Coy, do you want to sit? I can get up for you if you need. I know you're going to be on stage soon. And there's multiple people in the green room who don't need to be there. And none of them are offering. And I'm like, this is fucking rude.

Yeah. Well, look, I think, I mean, you're coming in hot on this one. I know. I know, because I love the people that were in there. I love them. I understand where you're coming from. I understand where you're coming from. And I think that it's also because of the first show.

I think that in the future, it's also incumbent to me. I was trying to deal with a lot of different things at the time. but I got to say, hey, if you're not part of the show, if everybody can hit the showroom. But stand. And, like, Koi was working. Yeah. And he said nothing because he's not a cunt like me,

but, like, I was just like, this guy cannot sit. All right. That's not cool. I know. Look, I get it. But nonetheless, it was a fun show. It was. We had a good time.

140 people in their room. That's great. It was great. We had a good time, and we're going to be doing it again. Okay, let me ask you a question. Yes. Yes, that bag was bigger than your body. Yes, it was.

No. I'll bring you the bag It's a big bag It was a Star Wars celebration bag It was tiny No about that You had to move When I went to sit

You had to get up and move Because of my caboose Because of what you brought up I had to move several times Because there was one point Where I was in between a conversation Where I was just like Uncomfortable?

Oh yeah Yeah And that green room is fairly big It's not a bad green room But there was just so many There were too many people In that room Let me ask you

another question now that I'm in the hot. Somebody kept farting in the bathroom. That's true. Yeah, the bathroom's not like, shit. That's where you have to go fart. But that's one of those things. My favorite story is all time and hold your question. But it's one of my favorite ever is, and I've told this before, I'll tell it again,

because I love it. I just told this story recently. Caesar's Palace. I've told you this story, right? Dagnino and I go to this bachelor party. How old are we? 28, 29, something. So we get there, and the,

I don't know if you've ever been to Caesar's Palace in Vegas, but the entire, the bathroom is pristine. You can eat off the floor. So that's how pristine it is. Did you? No, but there's no one in there.

And Dan Gnino and I are hammered and we're taking a piss. And as we're taking a piss, I go, oh, it smells like shit in here. And from behind the stall, the guy goes, what the fuck you wanted to smell like roses? And we start crying,

laughing, tearing, laughing. It was such great delivery on so many levels, but your question was. Okay, here's my question. Just because I guess I'm going to take all the heat this episode. I'm walking out. Both of you are standing there.

You're taking pictures with people. Don't know who. I didn't see. I see you guys. End of night? End of night. Okay. Like out of the room now. You're in like a room between there. Meeting greets over. Eating greets over. There. You're taking a photo. There's a patio outside. I'm walking by. I'm walking by.

and somebody yells diva. Who? I don't know. At me. But maybe they were doing it lovingly. Go fuck yourselves. Like, was it a male voice or?

You're coming in hot today, by the way. Yeah, I know. Are you pissed off today? Something else going on? No, I picked her up. Oh, something else is going on. No, she's had a morning. Oh, okay.

So you're, you're looking at you. I'm mad at you for bringing up the seat thing. You are? It's the morning that she has. But, Brett, as. As you know, as you know, as you talked about, hold it again. As you talked about, I think, with Roxy last time, you said no, because I knew a Christian, he'll bring it up. Why wouldn't I bring that up?

It's a great bit. I'm right about that. See? And I'm right about this. I'm right about this. Let me describe my night to everybody. That night? So grateful to be there.

It was so awesome. You guys at home that were there were fucking amazing. Meeting everybody afterwards was fucking incredible. Taking pictures of everybody. Incredible. I don't have to do that. Right. I chose to. Yeah, I chose to.

I was on the show. For the three-hour show, I was there for 15 minutes. That's all I was required to be there and then could have bounced. Instead, I stayed after for over an hour talking to people because I wanted to. For all of that, then all of a sudden I'm exhausted. Right now, you guys know I'm in rehearsals, working on the movie that I'm in. I'm like, overtime. It's now one in the morning, and I was like, I need to go home.

for me to be walking out and somebody because everybody other people still there and somebody yelled diva at me I was like I actually could punch somebody in the face right now but how do you know that it wasn't kind of like like maybe like diva like diva no no they said diva

and I was like don't fucking say that and kept walking I was pissed I didn't hear it you didn't hear it you were there you were there too I was there when they said it yeah you were taking a picture oh no I didn't hear it I don't hear anything yeah was it you Yes.

I'm sorry. Is that the funny? Yeah. What if it was? Yeah, I'm trying to think. Then it would have been funny. Right. But sometimes I do think because people see how we talk to each other.

But they can mess with it. Oh, yeah. If you had yelled at me, diva, I would have been like. But that's, maybe that's my point. Maybe my point is that even though you took it in a way where you don't say this means I don't know you, maybe that they were doing it lovingly, not just kind of messing with you. Maybe, but it's not. So I'm here to teach everybody.

Yeah, but you don't call a woman a diva. Fair enough. Unless she's being a fucking diva, which I wasn't. But now I'm being a little bit of a diva. On the list of things you call Roxy and has been called. Yeah. Diva's pretty. You saw my post this morning? Brett, tell me a little bit more about this bag.

Yeah. It was like, it's like the bag your mom would bring to the theater with the popcorn. Go to the Y. Go to the Y. These are realistic dimensions. I'm just saying you are thinner than you. There was. It's a big fucking bag.

Brett, I would have been all. your lap. Yeah, maybe that's the point. Rocks, no. I was, I could have given it a little scooch. I had Steph on my right. Yeah, my favorite is when I brought it off. I said, Previnson didn't even tell me the back. He goes, no. I was, I was scared. I was also annoyed because it was late, it was dark. Well, did I not say this when I came in? It was late. It was dark. And I had to park way further than everybody. So then I texted being like, oh, fucking park, whatever. And

and none of the guys said, like, I could, walk you to your car or anything and they should have well why didn't she ask me you know i would have walked you because you were in the middle of doing an entire show and i did it but i'd just say i was annoyed with everybody in the room anyway and then there was like other shit and then i don't want to have to sit on your lap because also my out loud announcement was because i want people to get up yeah and get out right all right well yeah not everybody not everybody just for a moment yeah i don't know poor coin which is hilarious but i mean well winsden i think i'm going to get torched for this Yeah, I wanted Winston to stand up.

Yeah. Winston, get up and get out. Yeah, I think you and your broken leg. Hobble around. How are you going to get stronger if you're sitting down the whole time? Come on. Come on. Come on, Winston.

Show a little. Give you those little bikes that you put your knee up. Come on. I think, I thought Winston did great. Yeah. Crashed. Did great. Coe did great job hosting.

There was a couple. Coy went dirty. Wow. I can't even say some of the things he said. The thing he told at the end. I was going to say something about he couldn't sit. He was. Yeah.

Well, I mean, if you want to see that, again, I'm leaving the stand-up portion of it on the thing, so if you want to check it out, you can. But there's a particular thing of Coyt had just gone up. You had a great set. Kate had a great set. And Cade had just got in the audience ready to go. They're ready to go.

So Coy gets up and goes, I got, I'm going to tell you their heartfelt story or something dirty, whatever was. I screamed heartfelt. You knew the audience was going to say dirty. And they do. And it was just like, and it didn't bring the energy all the way down, but it stopped. it turned the audience and it went to a different place.

It was easy to get him back going, but like it was like, no, no, no. Stick with either the heartfelt or just bring me up. What I really fuck with about Koi though is that, or fuck with him like about him. He's like, if it works if it doesn't, he keeps it pushing. Holy shit. I was so impressed with some of the stuff.

Then somebody yelled, we should have said heartfelt. And he made a joke about that. And I was like, that would have crushed. me like good on you that you took a risk yeah i just went heart fell changing it was good no but no he he hosted the night right and i had a note with him just like why did you have him host i wanted to do the hall h type um did did you want to host it i feel like it coulda i feel like you could have too i quite did a really good job with it but he was doing a set and the thing he was doing both and i think step and i could host it i'm not opposed to that next time

i'm just throwing out there i'm not opposed to that next up new york well i'm not opposed to that next up new york Well, next time, I mean, look, like I said, right now, the way it's, people are asking, how can we get everybody in New York and Stanford? I ain't got the money for it. When we get a sponsor for the actual show. I'm invited. You're invited. I said if you can get there and you can do it.

You're on the show. If you can get there, I just can't get people there. So we're working on that. And that says, as we're building out, we need to sell out New York and Stanford also in order in order to do more of these things. But, all right, anyway, listen, before we do, we're going to go, I mean, that's already. I'm sorry. No, it's what I love about.

Oh, it's what I love about the Thursday show. And this is what people really talk to me about afterwards, too. They like where we go into tangents. We have a lot to talk about anyway. But we'll talk, let's do one. We'll do one story. I want to talk about this Russo thing. So, it's hilarious.

I talked about this after Star Wars celebration because I just don't understand how, if you're going to be, if you're going to try to be straightforward with the fans, be straightforward with the fans. Don't lie to the fans. And this has happened continuously. And it happened at the end of Star Wars celebration.

After the announcements for me, there was an interview with IGN, and they were asking Kathleen Kennedy about, you know, certain things happening in the Star Wars director of world and how people kept kind of dropping off here and there. And they brought up the Kevin Feige Project. And she had said he was never really attached to a Star Wars film project, and they didn't even ever discuss an idea, which I said, well, that doesn't make any sense

because they talked about Michael Waldron writing that script at one point. Feige has talked about it also. Well, this is from Dark Horizons that said at Star Wars Celebration... G-Man. Yeah, that's right, the G-Man. Is it the G-Man? It's got to be the G-Man, right? It's hilarious if it wasn't.

There is. At Star Wars Celebration earlier this year, Lucas films Kathleen Kennedy said that despite reports, Marvel Studios' chief Kevin Feigey was never really attached to a Star Wars film, and they had never discussed an idea. That said, it was more than just speculation because Feige had talked about it in the past. Michael Waldron was hired to write the script for the film, which Fikegie would have produced.

And now, New Report has Avengers Endgame filmmakers, Joe and Anthony Russo, confirming that not only was Feigey working on a Star Wars film, but they were discussing the possibility of directing it. Appearing on a recent episode of Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett's Smartless podcast, the brothers were asked about future potential directing gays, including Star Wars. The pair revealed that they were interested and already had some discussions with Fikeke. They love Star Wars. There were early conversations. There were some early conversations with us. Kevin Feige is a huge Star Wars fan, and there were some early conversations about teaming up with Kevin to do Star Wars.

At this point, Figey's too busy to be doing Star Wars, and while it is not clear how long it was in development, the film seems to be scrapped. The next three Star Wars films have already locked in directors, Charmine Abe Chinoi, Dave Filoni, James Mango, they're all set to direct new Star Wars films, and they're all stories set across different time periods. Tycho Watiti's film also seems to have new Steam,

with reports indicating it could film as early as next year. All right, Roxy, so you hear all this. What's the first thing you think of? You know, I don't think I feel as definitive about this as you do. For me, like, okay, I'm not in the room, so benefit of the doubt-wise, and I know people really don't like her in this world anymore. And I am not a diehard star.

I love Star Wars, but I don't. It doesn't matter to you either way. Right. I feel like when somebody says, you know, we were never doing that, to me, like, we talk about all different projects that we've never done. Yeah. And it's like sometimes we talk about it for two minutes. Sometimes you talk about it for hours. Sometimes you talk about it for days. Sometimes it's months. Like possibly it was not as realized or, but it does seem like more people were attached. Maybe she just doesn't want to fuck with the fans that he wants good credit. I don't really know. I think it's a lot of different things where it comes to, what do we do next? We announced this.

We were still working a collider when they announced that. That's how long ago that thing was put out there. And it was put out there. It was definitely a thing. They had people talking about it. Apparently the Rousseau's are talking about it as well too. My biggest gripe, it's not that it didn't happen. That seems to happen all the damn time now.

My gripe is like, yeah, it went a couple different directions, and it just never got off the ground. So, you know, and at one point, yeah, we talked, listen, we were talking the Russo brothers about it trying to get it off the ground. It just never came to be. So, and if she says that, you go, oh, that sucks, but at least, at least she said it is supposed to. I get where you're coming from totally.

Yeah. So, and it just goes into the, it's, it's, it's a day. So it goes back, it goes back to the whole point of, you know, just, it just doesn't seem genuine with, because then you had all this stuff that was going on. You hear all the reports with Lindeloff? I just talked about it in depth on. on Jedi Council. Of Jedi Council.

I'm in... Thiff. Thank you. Yeah. Wow. This is all right. You just start it all over? Yeah, we should.

It should the whole show from the beginning. I couldn't have fit on the bench, Christian. I know. Hey, this is going to be like the rose and the, the piece of the, the Titanic thing. Could Roxy have fit on the stool? That's what we're going to fight, figure out. React. Yeah.

But there was all this stuff with Lindeloff about what potentially happened, you know, about where his movie was set. It was supposed to be set, like, apparently, apparently, six, years into the future with a Helen Mirren. That's who he wanted for older Ray. Then there was reports that obeyed Chenoy and him did not get along. So it's just another one of these things that kind of just happened inside of the Lucas film walls. And it's like, I don't know.

I'm not sure. But this is the support. Does it mean anything though, Christian? It means that we're not getting a Russo brother, Star Wars movie. Yeah. That sucks. That would have been fun to see. And I know that those guys do love Star Wars.

I mean, they do. Like when they came in for Civil War and Ellis and I got to talk to them, which I think is still up on, it's in the playlist on the interviews. What were you doing it for? I think we actually did one for Shmose and we did one for Collider. And I think because John Schnepp had interviewed them as well. But we had them for, they let us, they kind of doubled up and we put them on the Schmo's show. But that one's, yeah, that one's on the, if you go to the interviews playlist on this channel, I'm pretty sure that's still there. but we talked to them a bit afterwards,

and we were actually going to have them come on Jedi Council because they're such massive Star Wars fans. Like they're really big Star Wars fans, so to get them involved, but I think what it really, the reason, the significance of it is, I understand if Figey's not available because of how much, even you,

let's say this thing was announced in 2018 or 2019, or whatever it was. From 2018, 2019, all the way now, he's been really busy. So we know that, right? Yeah. But if you're going to announce that, I'm just saying, or if you're going to, if it's going to get out there and you're going to confirm it, that's the thing, because they all confirm that it was a thing. That's the part one, she's not telling truth because Figey confirmed it, Waldron confirmed it, everybody confirmed it.

If you're going to even be in those conversations at all, you make that happen. Or you say, Kevin, you're going to be too busy to do this. Are you definitely going to do it? Because if you're definitely going to do it, then we should do it. And when you say you say, who's you? Kathleen? Yeah. When Kathleen Kennedy and Fikey are having those conversations, it's like, look, if this is going to get out there at all and we're going to even talk about this thing, then this needs to happen because the fans want it to happen.

I think that might be a thing for her too. She's probably sick and tired of people going, Figi, we want Figi. Figi's going to do this. And she's like, well, I'm running this thing. Faggy's got his own thing. And then she wants to be the one that people are talking about as far as the executive goes. And it's just, yeah, I don't want this channel to become, you know, like the. just complaining about Kathleen Kennedy because like, like I said,

I think her business decision of putting Ray creatively, not a fan of it, but the business decision is a smart decision. It's a smarter decision, a less of a risk than trying to go 60 years into the future. I get that. But you think that creatively she's running it to the ground. I wouldn't go that far. I don't think running into the ground is fair. I think there are a lot of people who say that.

I don't, I just think that it's a, it's, I think it's a, um, there are some managers that works for certain sports teams and there's some that don't. Yeah. And you don't want to be lied to at the very end. Yeah. I mean, it's part of it, but I think, but I also think that it's one of these, it's just, I just think more, like more transparency, you're going to gain more trust from, from the audience, right?

That's part one. And part two is, no, I don't think she's driving to the ground because I do think that there are, I think that this movie could make a lot of money, the one with Wright. So if business decision, they could do well. The next one, the Fallone one, if they do, now, whether or not this Luke Skywalker mandate thing, I'm not putting him in it anymore, this is a rumor. I don't know how true this is, but there's a rumor going around that she says, no more Luke Skywalker. If that's a bad decision, but I don't know if that's necessarily a call she made. Yeah, I don't know where that was coming from, but I heard it a bunch of times too.

Yeah, it could be, it could be, look, and that's, I don't envy her position also because there's tons of stuff that is true and there's tons of stuff that people just make up to get more people. to go after her which is not a fun position to be in and it's also not fair when people always this this is this one that drives me nuts they'll criticize her to the and every time there's a show that they don't like or anything to her movie they don't like they go after her but if it's a movie that does really well she doesn't get any credit they just say well of course it's Star Wars so then by that nobody should be running Star Wars and anybody can just that that because someone even said that too like oh well it's Star Wars any but the movie can make a

billion dollars yeah but you still have to call the plays I feel like she needs a better PR team. Yeah. Like whoever's her publicist, I feel like, is not doing a good job putting out the good word about her. Like, because kind of what you just said, you know, transparency or whatever, like, that takes coaching sometimes. And I know that sounds ironic that transparency takes coaching. It does. It's explaining like this is what makes somebody more liked or whatever.

That is a fantastic point that has not been brought up enough because she comes off corporate. Yeah. And the Star Wars fans don't want a corporate thing. It's like maybe there's someone who can coach her through, it'll be a little bit more personable, you know, to where it's like. And say this is the kind of thing you should be said when asking these questions. Right. It's like, here's what you can, you can walk up to this line.

And don't get defensive over it. Yeah. It's, it's happy. It's, and I wonder, I wonder if she's paying attention to the comments. Because here, here's what I said, and I stand by this. This is why I do, I respect in her approach. Because she's not, she doesn't care about what the hell we're talking about. She doesn't care if I think that creatively,

like she knows what the hell she's doing. She didn't care. But maybe if she cared 5% more, she could tackle it. If she cared about the audience, like, really, like, getting behind her creatively, then yeah. But I don't think she does. And I don't think she needs to. I think her number one priority right now is put a billion dollars in that Disney bank account.

And she's going to do it because that's how good she is as a producer. And I don't care. Well, she's not a good producer because anybody can do a star is. shit. She's going to do it. She's going to find a way to make... I do not blame her. The only one that did not make money is Solo. And I do not blame her for that at all. I blame Bob Iger.

And I love Bob Iger. That's all Bob Iger's fault. Yeah, I liked Solo, actually. But we didn't do it. I made $400 million and that's a Star Wars movie. And it's like, and that's because it came out a month after Infinity War and it came out like four months after Last Jedi. It was... They put her in a very

difficult position and she did the best she could there. every other movie she may made a billion dollars so she'll do it again. Okay. Anyway, let's move on before we do that to, I want to get to a couple other things, but before we do that,

Before we get to our interview, I do want to talk about this Guardians thing because Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3, comes out, I mean, tonight, tonight.

And it is on course to make $250 million. and its global start. All right. Pocket change. Yeah. Marvel Studios Guardians of Galaxy Volume 3. It opens this weekend around the globe.

It is reportedly on track for a 110 million domestic opening weekend and a further 140 overseas. To put that in comparison, the original Guardians debuted nine years ago and made 94 million domestically, while the first sequel had an astonishing 146 domestic six years ago. Guardians faces the issue of the...

the longest runtime in the franchise at 150, along with the lowest scoring reviews, which is still decent at 80% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. After a bit of a tepid start, advanced ticket sales have been growing and are at $26 million and building. In comparison, last year's Dr. Strange in the multiverse of madness was at $60 million in pre-sales, a movie that went out to make $187 million domestic opening weekend. Okay. That's not bad. 187 opening weekend? It's pretty good. To Dr. Strange. A couple different things on this question Number one, I'm never

I just am never going to understand how they track these things Like it's crazy on a target to make And it's just like sometimes they're super far off Sometimes they're not But also calling 80% of Rotten Tomatoes decent It's pretty good It's pretty solid

Like I would say way better than decent Also I think that this movie is gonna absolutely annihilate with the fans And that it's gonna like really really hit home with the super fans. I agree with you. And I think that this is, I think this is a bunch of different things here the reason. I think that Marvel, this is showing this, this lower tracking, because as you said before, you said two, it's a big number. It is, but not, not as far as a big blockbuster movie,

like a really big number. Normally, like, if you're like, wow, this thing's going to, I don't think it's going to make a billion dollars anymore. I did, I did at one point. But like, now, maybe, maybe, but you got to have like a close to like a $500 million opening weekend or global to get close to that so fast. Because 250, and like they said, it's way off from the sequel. And I don't think it has anything to do with the Guardians stuff. I think this has to do with a Marvel fatigue. I think this is that Marvel has not been delivering lately.

And it's just like it's the TV shows have been disappointing. The movies have been fairly disappointing. And I think people are like, okay, you know, fool me once. Shame on me. You know, so it's like, or the other way around. Yeah. But we're close. I always

I always do the George Bush to it I always George Bush it Fool me too tight Ful me once You can't fool me again Yeah Don't get fooled again I don't get fooled again

But yeah I just even Even though we're so far past this We're still talking about a movie About a tree And a raccoon Making 250 million dollars A lot

Yeah Like for for characters That 10 years ago Not one person knew And okay Okay okay I understand at home Some of you guys are like

I knew No no But it was fairly I know Are you racist against trees of that cold? I really am. I really am. It's still an unbelievable feat that James Gunn has done here. I mean, like, if this opens up to $250 million,

then he should really be adding himself on the mother effing back. Well, yeah, I mean, 250, what I think is going to carry over here is that people, I saw it even in whether it's the out of theater reaction and non-supported review, people were like, I didn't, I wasn't as hype because of the stuff that I've seen with Marvel recently, but I don't know, maybe I'll go check this one out. I think this is one that people are going to go back and check out because of word of mouth. This is a fantastic movie.

I think the 20% of the critics are out of their minds. Out of their minds. I think you're out of their minds. It's sad. The movie has a more solemn tone at times. Yeah. Oh, you mean the movies. Yeah.

Yeah, it's sad. You're seeing the fact that the critics are sad. It's sad too, though. Yeah, no, but yeah, it is. I seem to have put a lot into this. I mean, you've got a ride at Disneyland. You've got the Christmas special that came out. I mean, they...

But you kind of have to watch to watch this movie, I have to say. I mean, I've seen it. You don't have to? It helps. There is a reveal in it, yeah. Yeah, it is helpful. It helps. There is something that they...

Not saying it, but I'm assuming that's what you're talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a story point at the end that they hit in the Christmas story that they make reference to in the movie that if you didn't see the Christmas special... You'd be like, oh, wait, when did that happen? Yeah, right. But it won't lose you. And also the dynamic.

between some of the characters too. For sure. For sure. Like, Dracks and Mantis for sure. Absolutely. I would recommend seeing the Christmas special if you can beforehand, but you won't, will it lose you? No, not really. But it's a fantastic movie. The runtime, every movie is long these days.

So the runtime doesn't, to me, think it's going to hurt. It didn't feel long at all. No, it didn't. I think this movie is going to do really well. I don't think it crosses a billion anymore. I thought at one point. What do you think, $750? I think you have between $700,750, which people will...

Pretty good. It's hilarious now, though, that people will say, if it doesn't hit a billion, that's a failure. We're going to see that. And that's not how it works. It's like, it's the amount of money that the budget costs plus the marketing, then you see what it does. But I am, yeah, I think 250 global.

I'm very curious it does. And it has no competition until Fast and Furious comes out. And it's the summer movie season kind of kicking off. People are forgetting that. It officially kind of kicks off tonight. Yeah, damn. Yeah. That's crazy.

Yeah. Wow. And, you know, all my friends that didn't see it for the critics screening, they're all going on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. They're going to love it. I mean, I really do. I love it. And I think that this is the one thing that I said, like, when I walked out of Ant Man quantumania, I was like, look, I enjoyed the science fiction element. I thought it was really crazy and kind of sloppy at the end and chaotic.

And I don't think everyone's going to like this movie. I think this is going to be one of those movies that people are going to be like, it's going to be divisive. This is the opposite. that this is for the critics, I think this is going to be a high scoring, 95% for fans. And I think the critics... It was so good. Yeah, I think the critics are going down. I don't know what it is with the critics, about what they're expecting for this one.

But this was the one what I realized is I saw some of the critics posting stuff. I said, this is where when people say to me, even though I go and I review movies, I am not a critic. For the last few movies that I've seen, I have been so on the opposite page on some of the critics, whether there was Mario or these other things, I am not a movie. critic. I really am not. I'm just someone who gives my opinions afterwards after I see a movie, whether you, like anybody else does. Then I guess everybody's a critic then, right? But a critic, the way they analyze it and see

certain things, that ain't me. What's your daughter think? She loved it. She loved it. She was, she was emotional. She saw one and two. Yeah, yeah. She saw one and two and loved those two, but she was definitely, she cried a few times for, you know, what was just in general things going on.

It's an emotional movie. And I said it, and we made a short out of it, I don't think this is for kids under 10 years old. They hit some dark issues in this one. And you think the first two are? Yeah, I think more so than this one. This one definitely goes darker than the other two. Okay, it's that time, man.

Roxy Stryor has been doing television stuff with us for a bit. And one of those shows that she told us about was shrinking. She had recommended it a couple different times. And I had kind of stumbled upon the first episode and liked it. but it gets significantly better, and I think that Harrison Ford is doing some of his best work ever, like ever. Bill Lawrence is one of the creators of the show, and obviously known for Scrubs and Cougar Town and a bunch of other things, and his wife, Krista Miller, is really, really a fantastic comedic actress. That's an actress in general.

and so we had the opportunity to have her in studio to talk about shrinking to talk about a lot of different things and we were so happy to do that because she's just, she's super pleasant, just amazing, funny.

And I'm not going to tell you about it anymore. I'm just going to let you see it. Here you go. All right, Roxy was not lying. As I told you guys, you guys know I have not shut up about shrinking. I keep talking about it and if you don't watch it,

you're a moron. It's an absolutely incredible show and I love it. And I can't wait for you guys to now be introduced to Krista Miller, who you probably already know from whether it's Scrubs or Drew Carey or so many different shows and so many different things she's done. But she is Liz on shrinking. I'm so excited to have her on the show. Krista, how are you? I'm well.

Thank you so much. Thanks for joining us. And we have the Roxinator with us as well. Don't worry everybody. She was so mad at me if I talk to you without it because Chris is. It's the truth. It is. She was telling me, she does a television segment on our show.

she recommends all the shows and she watches everything right away. She's like, you have to watch Shrinking. How long do I say it to you for? Since it came out, every day. Why wouldn't you believe her right away? Because I don't trust me what happened. I don't know. It's not true.

I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, you understand, I'm a parent. I have two kids. Yeah. I watch what I can. I watch Shrinking. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? What's your excuse?

I guess my excuse sucks so far. Yeah, so far. But you watch one recommendation out of every 100 I give you and I sold shrinking so hard that you finally watched it. And it literally had. literally had everything in it that would be tailor-made for me, like everything about it. But I'll tell you what I love about the show is that it's not only, it's this, it's the comedy aspect of it, obviously, from the cast alone. But when you look at it, you go, okay, can these

particular characters start to go into this cliche thing? And they never do. It always goes on to this road of the mix of drama and good comedy and real situations. So obviously, like, when did you first, because you're with your husband, coming up with the show with Jason, and did you, like, see the seeds from the beginning of... What happened was, Brett Goldstein was, I, you know, he's one of my boyfriends. So, one of my questions, obvious, obviously. So, um, that, that's that. But he and I became, we all became friendly, the three of us. And then he was writing a script. And he's, and Bill goes, you know, it's so funny. It's so cute Bill's, Brett's writing a show about,

therapy and he has a character in it named Krista he's writing for you and I was like oh for sure we're gonna run off together for sure but then when and I wanted to do I was like I want to do breath script I want to do Brett script Bill's like well first of all we're in the you know it was right when the pandemic ended and he's like you're getting other things I'm like I just want to do that and then Bill wanted to write a show about therapy that his was more comedy based and brett's was dark and they were like let's do it together and then from then on I wanted to do it and Also, it's, I'm going to say this in the legal way. It's loosely based on my psychiatrist.

Stutz. Phil Stutz. It's my psychiatrist. Okay, so that blew me away when I found that out. So that is for the people who don't know. I listed out as a top ten movie of last year that Jonah Hill made with Stutz. So Harrison Ford's character is based on your actual shrink. Exactly.

Legally, he's loosely based on a lot of different people. And allegedly. Allegedly, you know, it could be a many number of people. Yeah. If they hung out of room, they go, well, you guys have some similarities. Right. So Stutz. And then, right.

So, and my whole family, because I've been seeing him for 23 years, knows all the tools and the things, and we all do the thing. And Mike Stutz comes to our house for Thanksgiving. Oh, my gosh. And for dinners. And it's so probably inappropriate in psychiatrist's world. but we're close and my kids love him and my kids have a problem they'll call him. You know, we're kind of in that world.

So I was just like as soon as it was going to be about stuts and cognitive therapy, which I think is so much more helpful than regular therapy that you're just talking and someone says, how do you feel about that? I was in. I mean, I was really like, because they were ready to go probably 10 months before we started shooting. I mean, I was in before they had sold it. I was like, oh, it's going to get sold. I mean, for sure, someone's going to buy it. Yeah. What made you know that? I just knew it. I just knew it was so good. I think, you know, Brett and Bill have a kind of a different comic

sensibility, even though we all laugh and have the same sense of humor. They're just different. And I, and then when Jason came on board, I just knew that it, I just knew it was going to be great. So have you in your past had that kind of feeling? for particular shows you were involved with, or was it really this one that you just kind of knew? Because there's certain shows that just work, and this show just works. Thank you.

I mean, I don't think anyone, that's why I hate, you know, I feel like critics have got so mean now. You know, they just will be, I don't read reviews good or bad, but that my friends tell me, you know, that I've project, that they get so mean as it gets personal and they'll hate people. And I think, you know,

no one's trying to, to be bad in a bad movie. You know, everybody, if you, even an indie, you don't know, and something can go awry that the director doesn't do it or there's, like, for some reason, the cinematographer doesn't work, but no one's trying to not make something great. I mean,

for the most part, unless you're doing something just for the money, but this show, I remember once, like in the middle of the sea, I turned to Jason and I go, am I crazy, but is like, this feels like special. And he said, I know, but you know, you never know.

Yeah. And, well, I mean, listen, so I was just talking about this before. I avoided COVID for three years. Didn't catch it. It was finally caught it about two months ago. And I was leveled. I was out. And, you know, you binge.

And shrinking put me in such a better move because I was hurting. And I was laughing so hard throughout it. But I was also just like, it's, it's loss. I lost my brother a couple years ago. I'm so sorry. Thank you. And, um, and, um, and, um, and, between that and being able to have to deal with it in your own way and

using humor because something that my whole family has done, obviously, and watching that and how that's kind of shaped in this. But everything that you guys did and the moment that Liz kind of pops up on screen to where she has this purpose is to take care of Jason's daughter in the show. And that's kind of taken away from her at a second. And she's got to figure it out.

So she has to find her own purpose. And it is like discovery of like your own self throughout the entire show, for each character, I thought. For each character. And I think, you know, it's interesting with this show, like we went away for the weekend a couple weeks ago. And, you know, people weren't coming like,

kind of a selfie, like right away, because you think, don't you have a moment and just talk, but people are like, I lost someone. Or my friend lost someone. And I told them to watch this show. And I think they're very careful. The writers are very, very careful in checking with, psychiatrists and, you know, like to get all the therapy stuff and the grief things down properly.

I think they're really careful with that. Can I just tell you something funny though? So I didn't get COVID. Now obviously also, just wait. Jump the gun, sorry. So also, I'm with a kid. I have kids that's in high school or kids college. You know, I'm seeing people.

I'm working and even though they're testing for day, I've been with people. We were, Warner Brothers, people are dropping like flies. So then we went to the Van de Fair Oscar party, which was really fun, by the way. It was really fun. Yeah. But my husband got COVID and he, and I was like, I, and I think, because I hadn't gotten it, that I clearly must have superior genes and I should probably join a study. Yeah.

Like I should probably call doing a study in New York. And I was like, I should probably submit. And then Bill said, and then I started feeling a little nose. I was like, it's allergies and I was testing it. It was negative. And Bill's like, I can't wait for you to fucking get COVID. You stop with your superior jeans. And let me just tell you.

So I test, the two lines couldn't have been, it was like the most pregnant of COVID you could be. And I was the crushing disappointment that I don't have superior genes and that my husband only had it for four days and worked the whole time. And I was laid out for 10 days. It kicked my ass. It was so rude. I was really, that really. my ego really took a huge blow. I'm so sorry for you guys. I've had it three times.

It must be really, really difficult for you. I'll tell you my ego, though, my ego. It absolutely made me laugh, though, watching it. So your ego should actually be boosted up here because it got me out of a bad place where it was because it kicked my ass. Like I was, and the line that got me, the scene with you and Harrison at that party, talk to me about that because holy shit, that is some funny stuff, man. That was my, I mean, that was the most fun show to do. I love that episode, but Harrison on the couch, stoned, and me getting, and it was like our first, not, I'd worked with him before, but like another, the bigger thing. And we were just on that couch the whole week together.

And we were laughing so hard. I mean, Harrison, that I got Harrison too stoned and be able to sit with him on a couch was my favorite thing ever. I'm sure. And he's, I'm not going to be able to beat that. No. And he's a notorious potsmonger. You never know. You're going to try to beat it, though, because there is a season two that is coming.

You guys were picked up, so congratulations on that. I was so excited to hear that. And then a little nervous, of course, with the recent news about the WGA strike. Do you know how that's affecting you guys at all? Well, none of us are going to cross a picket line. So we're not, unless they resolve it, we're not going back to work. So that's a bummer. So they have to.

They have to. I mean, shrinking. I mean, we got it, right? I got it back. Listen, I feel like I just want to be clear that I don't write the show at all. So I feel like me being proud of the show. I'm not trying to be bragging about the show because I don't write it at all, have no input. But again, you're part of the ensemble that makes the show exactly the reason why it works.

It's a team. And the team is, I think you should absolutely be proud of the things you're saying. I don't think you were coming off of saying you were writing it at all. I didn't, no, not at all. I think that when you're in the scene, though, and you're able to create those moments, So like because there's a specific thing that you guys say, take that scene with you and Harrison at the party. It's like it's the chemistry that you guys have to have.

It's the moments. It's the timing. So you may not have written a scene, but you made that scene as special as it was. Well, thank you. I do think Bill has a really, and he has great casting people that he's worked with forever since Scrubs forever. Debbie, Ramon, and Brett.

He has a really great way of casting different people that you want to. Because when people come up to me too, which I love, everyone had and my daughter's friends and my daughter everyone has a different character that they like yeah which is great to have to have to have that appeal to different i had a little we have an easter party and i had a 12 year old boy sarah chalk's little boy come up and said that's my favorite show shrieking i was like i can't believe this 12 year old boy saying this that's great do you have favorite character um no i like i mean i'm whoever i'm working with that day is my favorite character You mentioned Scrubs briefly, and I have to ask you because I heard your husband about a year ago say there will be some form of a reboot at some point.

What would you want to see? Oh, guys, we got to do a Scrubs reboot and we got to get Bill on it. And Bill is getting annoyed because now I have everyone say it all the time. I feel like it should be a movie. But I don't know. Maybe it's just a long form something. I don't know. Look at something like what Dexter just did, right?

Dexter had that one kind of one off series, you know, another one you bingeed during your COVID period. 100%. But it just, but it had, okay, look, everybody wants, wants to see it. Let's do one more. Why not do something like that?

We're all friends. I can only imagine that we would have way too much fun. Yeah, and clearly Zach just directed a few of the episodes on shrinking as well. Yeah. So what makes that kind of, if you guys kind of are all into it, what is the thing that's stopping it from happening now?

I just need to know as a massive. husband's schedule. Yeah, tell me. So when we were doing shrinking, he was also doing a show for Apple with Vince Vaughn called Bad Monkey, which was an hour and in Miami in the Florida Keys. So he would fly back and forth and we had kids and see kids and be shrinking and doing writing.

And now he went right from editing shrinking to, I mean, he can't do it now because he's working, but editing Bad Monkey and writing new shrinking episodes. This is my husband's schedule. He hasn't had a day off in. Ever. He's there writing, you know, doing everything. It's a lot. And I think that one of the things, though, too, where you, I heard you mention it before and just want to get a clarification on it as well, was that first of all, thank you guys

for bringing Tim McGinley back into my life. Comedy assassin. He really, really is. And there's so much I relate to, by the way, too. There's a certain thing, he's pissing on the balcony and you come out, like, stop pissing in the flowers. But the things where he's just... You relate to that, Christian? I do. That's you.

There was something that happened, I'm going to say, a couple years ago. That's the only thing. But I told my wife about it. I told me, it's just a relationship that you guys have. But no, the thing that I related to is the idea that he's like, look, I'm going to be home soon. And you should find stuff to do. He's like, no, you should find some stuff to do. It's this relationship, this back and forth that they have.

But his timing and the stuff that he doesn't bring in him back to where he's not just kind of, and that's what I meant, the kind of cliche wrote it could have went. It could mean he's just the dopey husband that does it. He's not. He's a really smart dude who just, he's just kind of, you know, sometimes he's a little lack of day'sical. Sometimes he just knows what he wants. And I love how kind of la se faire. It's great. You know what I love Ted? I mean, really, Bill has been trying to cast him forever. And he's brought, got him so close to things and has been so frustrating. And this show, they were thinking of all different like comedians and different. And I said, well, first of all, it's got to be someone handsome. Let's just, let's start. Let's get like, I want to have a night. Come on. Who am I going to be married? I'm as cute as a button. I'm going to be married as someone handsome. Yes, you are. Right?

Thank you. And then he goes, oh my God. Call me up for work. What about Ted McGill? I'm like, oh my God, hire him right now. He goes, and we can just, he doesn't have to test. He doesn't do anything. I get him on as a re-cur.

Love this. And then everyone fell in love with him. He's also really lovely to work with. Like, we've had all sorts of the dramatic stuff. Like, we have great chemistry. And I also think that I didn't want to play the cliche of like having the annoying husband, even though he bugs, are sometimes, I think they have a great sex life.

I think they have a sex, because, you know, I think they have a sexy life and love each other. Like, why does it have to be a marriage that, you know, one person's annoyed and the sex life doesn't work? And they're annoyed by each other. You can get annoyed with people in marriage, but it's also, it's a matter of how much they love each other. You can tell how much they love each other.

You can tell how much they know each other. That's the whole thing. They know each other. Yeah. Yeah. So speaking of casting, though, so you know, obviously right away, so your husband says, we need time again. You go out and get them.

Yeah. How does the Harrison thing come about? Oh, my God. So we're, so we're, Bill was just like, you know, it would be great. And also my stuts says, I'm just going to retire. Jonah Hill made a documentary about him and Harrison Ford's playing him, allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly.

He was like, I'm retiring. I mean, what else? I mean, Phil is like from New York. You know, he's like this New York kid. Anyway. So Bill said, they brought up Harrison Ford. he's also our neighbor, but he's like,

we kind of know him a little, brought up Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford is your neighbor? Yeah. Okay. Because they brought up Harrison Ford. I'm like, oh my God,

he'd be perfect. You should get Harrison Ford. You should get Harrison Ford. He's like, he's not going to do it. Just relax. But he happened to be in London and Brett was in London.

And you know, Brett's the greatest guy of all time as I jumped with my boyfriend. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. So we all on the same page. And Brett was there, and Harrison was doing Indiana Jones. and so he said to he liked the script and he goes well um i'll meet and also brett is friends with

phoebe waller bridges yeah that wrote indiana jones right and she told harrison and phoebe knows bill oh bill and brett are the best you should totally meet with brett they went brett said he immediately harrison immediately drunk him under the table and was like i think i want to do and that was it. We were like, what? You know, then it was crazy. That is crazy because like, you know, again, 15, 20 years ago, you hear about certain people doing television.

You're like, no, it's never going to happen. Right now it's like, who's next, right? And then Harrison, what a year with 1923 plus this show? And I love 1923. I love it. I think this is, I said this to, you know, I'm an Indiana Jones guy. I think that this is the best work he has done. And since, you know, like,

Raiders of Lost Ark is still one. It's like my thing. But like, and he's done everything. But there's something about what he's doing. It's that classic Harrison Ford. Yes. And I've seen him do comedy,

but not like this. No, and he's funny. And you know what he says? He's actually really, he's so, I mean, from the second he comes on, he's every man.

Like he's like, I'm just a regular actor, but he is, he says after he goes, this is the most fun job. I've ever had. Like, he goes, in the writing,

he said, I didn't know. and I think he likes that, you know, TV moves faster. And we're, we have fun with him. And he's very funny in real life. He's very dry and very funny. You have to be to pull that off what he's doing. You have to be.

Like that. So the line that got me was, and I've been quoting, Roxy's sick of me saying it. But I was, I rewound it so many different times. Who wants some pancakes? Fuck yeah, some pancakes. Killed me. He just says that out of the blue now all the time.

But how did you guys, because I heard you know, you'd mention that. in order to find out if a take is working. You hear the crew, you want to hear the crew. But the problem is our Rodney Dangerfield, Caddyshack thing is they got to stay quiet until cut. Yeah, so that's why Bill is horrible on set. And Zach is too.

Like, if you're doing something funny, especially if they've, like, pitched a joke just because why some people are great on set is because, like, Bill especially, we missed him when he was doing Bad Monkey, but he'd be on an iPad sometimes. He'd be like, that joke's just working. There's no ego about that. try this, try this line.

And he'll throw out lines that are so funny and also he'll whisper lines to us to say so the other person doesn't know. Yeah. And then if it goes over, Bill starts screaming laughing and Zach does and they have to try to be quiet because, you know, and ruin the take.

But the crew will be after they'll say cut and you can hear the crew laughing or you hear crickets. I mean, that's emotional stuff. You just know, you kind of know it worked or it didn't work. But again, Jason, everyone, Jason, Jessica, Harrison will say, oh, that was great. I love working with you. I mean, that's the vibe on the set.

The show is doing so many things. Like Christian spoke about it spoke to him. After losing his brother, I lost my mom recently. Not that recently. I guess it was 10 years ago. But it speaks to a lot of people who go through major losses, but it's also really funny. What do you feel like you hope people take away from the show? Like, what do you want the show's purpose to be?

Um, I just feel like, you know, I feel like, uh, a friend, a very, very close friend of mine just lost her sister a month ago. And it's, it's hard to know what to say. And then I was like, on Sunday, I was like, do you want to come watch comedy with me? And she had other friends, she was going to a different comedy show. And I thought, you know, people do laugh in the grief, you know, and it's okay. And I think we feel guilty about it and it's okay to laugh a little. And it's also, I think, after the pandemic, I think more and more people, I know a lot of my friends were like, I think I'm going to therapy.

I'm thinking of, do you know, did therapists? I think, you know, more people, more people into therapy. And I think why I mentioned that Stutz is my psychiatrist and I'm quite a private person is that I just think the onus, just the whole thing that needs to be taken away. you know, that it's an embarrassing thing. You know, Phil really changed my life and allows me to be a better mom and wife and be happy. Yeah.

And you've been saying, you've been saying... Since Charlotte was about six months old. About six months old, okay. Wow, did you watch the movie studs? Yeah. Is it weird? I can only imagine because I have a therapist and I've never seen my therapist with anybody but me.

I was very jealous. I didn't like it at all. I was so jealous. And now every time I'm like, it's your favorite. I go, what the fuck with this Jonah Hill? I'm like so irritated. I don't even want to know that he sees other people. And he sees really cool people.

It seems like. And in general, just listening to stuff that, because Perry was in here before and you guys had a really great conversation, the career that you had is just is incredible. And the stuff that you've worked on and the comedies that you've been involved with. And you've worked on, obviously, network television. Now you've with the streaming age now. the height of streaming age, you're on Apple.

Do you have a preference as far as, like, how network kind of works and how streaming works, the streaming network is? Well, I can only say that Apple's just been so lovely to us, and no one's down there. You don't, we're not doing any table reads or giving notes they trust Bill, which I don't, you know, I don't know if it's Bill or their Apple's been really lovely to work with. But I've worked with Warner Brothers for since Drew Carey, and they've always. been fantastic to work with. I've never had an issue with like different, some, some network or studio being a problem. I think it's also like just maybe like the creative on how it works because

it seems to me, you'll obviously know better than I do, but when it comes to character development, I feel on these, on these, on the streaming shows, like I think what's so, I think one of the reasons why television is more so where it's at even than movies, to be honest. And I was, and I'm a big movie buff, but you can develop so much in character that, like, I think that back, again, 20 years ago in front of a studio audience was, not that you couldn't do it, but tougher to do, because it seems more cinematic now. You know, what's great is that, you know, when you're doing,

and I know from Bill when he would do scrubs, you have to get it to, like, 20, you know, like 24 minutes or 22 minutes, because there's commercial. So you're just, you know, you're just tightening. and he's like taking out stuff, taking out character development, getting the jokes in, having it move well, getting all of it in. And with being on a streaming, it's still a half-hour comedy, but it can come in at 30 minutes.

It can come in at 32 minutes. I mean, you don't want to go really past that because it'll be too long. So you have a little more room to keep, let some of the moments sit. And I'm used to rushing a little bit, you know, of making sure you get the joke. And now I really like learning shrinking, like I can sit with it for a second, and take my time. Yeah, it's like being on stage for stand-up, and it's like you've got, you've got 20 minutes as opposed to eight, and you can

do that, you have that time the other day, we just done a live show, and it was like, I had more time to breathe and take those moments and take those pauses, because it's like, yeah, because like you said, it's like, you can still hit those jokes in that amount of time, but the shorter amount of time, but you really got to take your, you've got to use the rhythm. Yeah, we talked earlier

about how, no, you don't write for the show, but I think a lot of people don't know your involvement with your music, not just on this show, but a lot of different shows. credit you. You don't have to say this, but I credit you for finding Ed Shearin, at least for me. With Cougar talent, I mean, that's unbelievable. Who else do you feel like career-wise you found really early on? Um, Josh Radin. Oh, big one. And then we brought back, you know, I'd always loved Colin Hay. I would see him at Largo. And then he, we put his song on, he'd kind of had a

revival of, and he's so fun. If anyone, if you ever want to see him live, he's so funny and so good. foster the people pumped up kicks was nowhere and I put that on that's huge too what are you doing just everywhere you go listening listening

I go down wormholes I have a daughter Charlotte Lawrence who's a singer songwriter and she'll send me unbelievably successful congratulations thank you

and she'll send me music her boyfriend is a very successful producer Andrew Watt and he's just been playing with Iggy Poppy's a musician and a producer And I get music from people and then I'll go down wormholes. And then I go, there's different places where I go.

But I try to, like, I'm doing that work now for the next season. So I bank the music. I have my favorites that I want to use. But again, like, there was 10 favorites from last season that I couldn't use because for some reason they just don't fit in the scene. Right. So you put them in, like, you put them a place. They're still new enough that I could hold them.

But you know when it works when you get goosebumps. And then I give it to Bill and Bill's like, well, that's great. That works. Well, so how does that be? That's, to me, that's like one of my dream things. I do that. It's the most fun. It's so much fun.

By the way, if Bill will call me up, like he's doing Bad Monkey Note. And I have a partner, by the way, I don't work, named Tony Von Pervue. I don't work by myself. But he and Tony's taking the lead on Bad Monkey, but Bill will call up and say, you've got to look at the scene. It's all on my thing. And you've got to do this thing. I'm not getting eight hours can go by. And I have no idea where the time went.

it's the most fun job. I love that. And I was, you answer my next question was that you, so you get sent like the scene. And so because, you know, obviously there's some people that if they're,

if they're writing a particular thing, then they can write to the music. But if you're looking at this particular single, you know what would work there is this. And so sometimes maybe there's one that you had from like, I don't know, sometimes you can use a song from 10 years ago if it still fits. Not on shrinking.

Not on shrinking. I mean, we do, we have. And I'll do for Harrison. I'm allowed to. Yeah. But we really are trying to keep it.

Because I feel like, I know this sounds cheesy, but music has given me so much of my life, and I feel like being able to start, give someone to help someone's career, that it's like something that I can do to give back. And I was talking to Ben Gibbard, who's the lead singer for Death Cab for Cutie, and he produced Charlotte's last album.

And he wrote, and with Tom Howe, and produced the theme song that's Ben for shrinking. For shrinking. And he said to me, you know, when we were starting, you used a death cab song on scrubs and we were still going to like little venues and that money I remember he said

something he bought, he was able to buy an amp or something like that and kept us all going because that is a chunk of money you get for clearing and he said it's such a gift and I just thought so I like to use new bands Harrison though not so much

but I love I've got so much fun but it's a character too sure absolutely so with music where does that obviously with your daughter being super talented in music, and where did that come from inside of your family, like musicians? Well, you know, my mom had me when she was young. She was like just a week turned 20 when I was born. And she was a supermodel.

And so she was exposed to a lot of cool music. And we only had cool in our very conservative house, but we had cool music. And then in New York, I used to fill in for this DJ at a club my friend owned. So when he would take a break and I would love it. And then I've just always been my thing. And also, since there's a walkman, anything, whatever iteration of that, I would walk around New York listening to music.

Was your therapy before Stutz? Yeah, it was my therapy before Stutz. Also, you used to go to S&L as a kid, correct? Yes. That must have been exposure to all different kinds of music. Oh, I saw every band. And when you go to the musical rehearsal, there's no one there. So it's like the class.

Do you remember any? but oh my gosh. Duran Duran. Oh, Duran Duran, because we were in love it. I was in Duran Duran. I'm in my high school varsity jacket and with my friend from high school watching Duran Duran. And no one's in the audience,

but like Simon LeBond's mom. I was like, this was the best. That's cool. I have to thank you once again. What an absolutely great show. This is I can't wait. Hopefully this strike is done. You guys, everybody,

all the writers get what they deserve. And I can't wait for season two. I cannot wait. Thank you so much for giving us the last. and everything that you haven't. Thank you for coming in to share your time today. Thank you so much. I'm so flattered and I will pass along your kind words to Bill. Please do. Please do. And to Stutz. And to Stutz. All right, guys, once again, Krista Miller, check it out. If you have not checked out shrinking, do it, do it, do it.

All right, back to me, Roxy and Brett. Here you go. All right, there's our interview with Krista Miller. She was cool, wasn't she? Yeah, she was awesome. Really great. Really great. Well, East Coast vibes. It was. And I think that that was what was so fun about that was that. You got a chance to you were here and yeah it's always fun to see because i i get a little nervous because you guys have done this a lot and i i i go oh yeah oh no i know who that is oh wow wow you know scrubs and you know uh and i'm trying to act all casual i'm setting up the camera telling her about her mic and stuff and

she's just so cool and so laid back and like you know there was a little hiccup about certain timings yeah yeah and it was like she's like oh yeah let's do it and wanted to i think she generally really wanted to go a little longer than she did it was uh it was a it was a great interview. It's a great conversation. And I think Roxy and I knew because, so Perry and I have been working together for a little bit. We've been, you'll see that Perry will also be interviewing her on Collider.

And she's been shooting stuff from at the studio. So we were watching Perry's interview with Krista and Roxanne and I looked at each other and we said, oh, this is going to be, this is going to be fun and a breeze because you can just tell she's a conversationalist. Yeah, totally. She was very, very

open, but she also didn't do that thing that sometimes happens with people who are open where they talk forever about one question. Like, she knew exactly how to do that. It was interesting. I was listening to her in an interview a little bit ago, and she was talking about how nervous she gets to go on talk shows. And because she's like, doesn't get nervous to act,

but she gets nervous because she, like, doesn't know what the question are. And I was thinking, we should have told her afterwards. There's nothing to be nervous about it. She's like great at it. She's so, so great about it. And I think that's, yeah. So hopefully you guys enjoyed the episode, or the interview, rather. We had a great time talking to her,

And she was on the way out, she's like, once season two comes out, I've got to come back. I was like, you better. Yeah. So season, if you haven't seen season one, I wanted to bring Bill too. I have so many questions for him. And they've been doing some interviews together recently. And I'm like, oh, let's go. So anyway, make sure you check it out this show.

If you haven't seen season one, please watch it. It's so good. Speaking of TV, Roxinator is here to bring us the latest and greatest in television of stuff that I will watch probably immediately tonight. Yeah. So I recommend a Tringy. to you and finally you watched it so you're going to take my picks on all these i'll watch every single one great uh this first one then you actually should be watching because you know the creator behind this who's this i'm talking about working moms working moms working moms finally dropped its last season on

netflix so if you live in canada you got to see this final season a little bit ago but for us in this country uh we just got it on netflix and i binged the entire final season and one night because she's hilarious i've loved this show i think it is it's interesting because i'm I'm not a mom, and I know that they are so geared towards working moms. I also heard this final season annihilated. It was like in the top in so many other countries. Yeah. And so I think it's very relatable because it's got a group of moms who work all different jobs,

whether they take hiatus from that or not and how they deal with all that. So it's a very universal, obviously, show. But I'm not a mom, and I still think it's like one of the funniest shows on TV. They really put themselves out there, and I was so impressed with this final season. I really feel like they could do another one though Why is it the final? Did they say? I don't know. Netflix likes to pull the plug fast, huh?

I think it's not BBC, what the fuck's? Canada? CDC, CBC, what is the, whatever shit's Creek and Kim's convenience and. Yeah, right? Yeah, Canadian broadcast and CB is somebody out there. Canada and Europe and all those and Korean, but they don't like to do, no, they don't like to run things into the ground like we do.

been seasoned or something. It's just like I wish it could have gone forever. I love these characters. Catherine Reitman was the first Shmosno co-host that Mark and I had for at least about a year or so. She's a great creator. She really is.

She has a great guest appearance in the final episode that I don't want to spoil for people, but that's awesome. She's just awesome and living a really great legacy for her family. And she was a movie reviewer in the space. It was, it was, she had a show that it was it was great and it was very creative of the show that she had that she was

that mark and i had guessed on a bunch of different times you probably could still see it that's awesome yeah why haven't you introduced us i haven't talked to katherine i feel like she could be my big sister yeah maybe she might maybe maybe so but i have yeah she used to do guest appearances you don't care about me i'm sorry i love her apologies what's next okay what's next is a show actually that ellis texted me are you watching and i was like I don't know if I want to watch this because it's that show, love and death. So I just caught up. There's been three episodes.

This is the Candy Montgomery show. And remember, I already recommended to you guys watching Candy on Hulu last year. That was Jessica Beale playing Candy Montgomery, known killer Candy Montgomery. I don't want to give details for those of you guys who don't know, but this is a real true crime story about a woman who is a murderer. And last year, Hulu put out an entire series on it. This year, Elizabeth Olson is playing Candy Montgomery in the show, and it's on HBO Max. Oh, okay.

And it's called Love and Death, and three episodes have dropped so far, and then it's going to go to weekly. And so it's really interesting if you watch that show, finally, I was like, okay, I'm going to just watch this one to try to compare. So I'm mostly, now that I know the story, I'm mostly like, what are the differences in the way that they're telling it? And what's the difference in the performances? And I have to say they're both really, really solid. I think my edge goes to Jessica Beal over Elizabeth Olson in this role, but I'm not sure. Both great. Yeah, both so, so good and different takes on the character.

So I'm excited to keep looking at that one. I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes. This next show is a show that popped up on my Netflix last night, and I was like, what the fuck is this? I guess I'm just going to binge as much as I can right now. I am three episodes deep, and the show is called Jewish matchmaking. Have either of you guys heard of this? No.

Okay, this is a racist. What? Yep. A bunch of, I'm saying with a bunch of anti-Smart. clearly you don't want a Jewish matchmaking. This is exactly what it sounds like. There's an ageal tradition in the Jewish culture with matchmakers that go around and matchmake people. This one matchmaker is going around all different cities and matchmaking Jews with Jews.

And they have all different kinds of Jews. Some of them are Orthodox. Some of them are like me. Some of them are mid-conservatives. Some of them want to be with somebody who's Israeli. Some of them don't want to be with somebody who's like all different things. And so it's a match-Machers. making show. It's a dating show. So far, I'm intrigued by it because it's just showing so many

different kinds of Jews. And some of them I'm like really annoyed by and just like, oh, you guys, it's so not what everybody's like, but then some of them are like me. There's this one girl who's this blonde girl. She's 44. She's single. She just never found her person. She takes care of her 100 year old grandma. Like she's just, I'm like, oh my God, that's my soul sister. And she's like, I just didn't find love and I'm just still looking for it. And it's really beautiful to like watch her go on these dates and you're just rooting for her to find her person. So I'm liking the show so far. I'm going to finish it by next week and I'll tell you guys if it's worth an entire binge. Okay. And then finally. The last one, I have to have it on the

list every single week until it's off the air and that is succession. I can't stop talking about it. I can't stop watching it. I watch every episode twice. I love this show. Best written, best performed show on TV. They are very lucky they're ending right in time for WGA because, gosh, does this show need its writers? It would not survive. I mean, I have heard nothing but amazing things about it. That's going to be one that I probably, do you watch it? No, I'm watching The Glory, which is 16 episodes of reading. Oh.

My eyes hurt, but it's so good. It is very good. That one took me about a month to binge because it was just like that show is dense. And, yeah. Hour each. We're doing like two, three a night and that's pretty much our viewing. Yeah. It's a tough watch too.

I mean, it's glory is great. Okay, well, you know what I just finished. Blackbird. Singing in the dead of night. Did you ever watch it? I watched the first episode I hear it's amazing. So good. It's with Taryn Engerton and Paul Walter Houser.

That's what Jeff Snyder says was the best show of last year. It was pretty damn good. It was pretty damn good. They're both really great in it. Paul Walter Houser is terrifying in it. Was it the beginning of this year? It was the end of last year. Whatever it was.

I think it was the end of last year. But Paul Walter Houser is terrifying in this role. Okay, I got to watch. It's a true story, by the way, which is even crazier. Okay, damn. Do you know what the story is? No, no. So I'm not giving a lot of way.

I mean, this is the premise of the show. This is, again, a true story that there is this guy who was like the big college athlete and came from this, his dad was like a cop, a, was a cop, a very glorified cop, but still was on the take and all this stuff too. But he wound up becoming this big college athlete, womanizer and all this stuff. and winds up getting himself involved in drugs and not taking drugs, dealing drugs and, like, arms and stuff too. And then he gets caught by the government and it looks like he's going to be able to have this deal where he does like four years or whatever. His dad's like, take the deal.

He'd do like four years. The DA really wanted to make an example out of him. And there was like a little hiccup inside of the deal. He wants it doing 10. So he does 10 years. And he's like, and he's at this club. But he's like, he's like super charming. This is the Taryn Ergerton.

role and he's super charming. You've seen the first the first episode. So he's super charming and he's basically budding up with everyone doesn't get himself in the trouble. Paul Walter Hauser is a guy who is a suspected serial killer and is and so they make a deal with

Taryn Egerton. They go look if you can go in to this criminally insane prison which is compared to the where you are now is a country club compared to this place but if you can go in there and you can charm up to this guy and get him to tell you

where the rest of these bodies are because they have they only have them on one one case and he might get an appeal and he might be out be out on the street again but you can get him to tell you some of this stuff will give you from 10 years to nothing so he's got to make this decision to do it and obviously it's the whole premise of the show but like

and it's a true story and I looked and I finished it and I want to like spoil stuff too because like I have so many questions about the show. Alright, I got to binge it.
