Night Shyamalan, who of course is an executive producer and 15 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,840 Lauren Ambrose and Toby Kebbell and Nell Tiger Free. 16 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,800 It was all about "Servant" and "Servant" is on its fourth and final season. 17 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:17,840 The first episode has debuted now and if you've watched it, you saw how good was that 18 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,840 episode. 19 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,080 So, you know, the series almost always takes place exclusively in the Turner's House, 20 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,520 which is on Spruce Street in Philadelphia. 21 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,280 And this episode pretty much all took place in front of the Turner's House, particularly in 22 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:42,120 the car and that car, it's just such an incredible show that never manages me, manages me, 23 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:50,840 never manages to keep me on my feet to keep me being in shock as those credits roll. 24 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,920 And it's just so well written, so well acted, so well produced, just everybody on that team is 25 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,880 so incredible, so talented and I love them for it. 26 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:09,440 So today, I told you last week that in this week's episode, we are going to talk to the cast 27 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,600 live from the premiere in New York City. 28 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,440 So I talk once again with Emni Chamalan and report Grint. 29 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,280 I talk to Uncle George, the Boris McGiver, love him. 30 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,760 Of course, now tiger free, Matilda de He who plays Snake. 31 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:37,440 Oh, and I know you haven't met them yet, but two of my favorite characters in the show, 32 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,480 Bobby and Bev. 33 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,200 I love these characters. 34 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,160 You will meet them in episode three. 35 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,480 Oh, my God. 36 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,200 I just immediately fell in love with them. 37 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,040 They're crazy. 38 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,040 They're zany. 39 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,040 They're cool. 40 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,800 And there's something strange going on with them. 41 00:02:51,800 --> 00:03:02,160 But in any event, I talk with Bobby, Barbara Kingsley, all about her role as Bobby in 42 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,720 servant. 43 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:10,840 And over the next few weeks, you know, maybe we'll have some special guests that will pop up from 44 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,840 servant. 45 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,560 I guess I just gave away the spoiler. 46 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,240 You never know could happen. 47 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,360 I'm also on today's episode. 48 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,960 I talk with Scott Hoying, who has been on the show before with Pentatonix, but this time 49 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:31,320 he is solo releasing his first major solo single called Mars, which is amazing. 50 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,680 Love, love, love this song. 51 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,480 And there's two new versions that just came out. 52 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,120 A choir version and acoustic version. 53 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,520 And I am in love with the song. 54 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,520 So let's start out with Scott. 55 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:56,280 And if for some reason you have been under a rock, Scott is the, I guess, lead singer of Pentatonix. 56 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,120 I guess there really isn't a lead singer. 57 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,800 I don't know, but Scott is, you know, in Pentatonix, one of the founding members. 58 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,200 And if for again, for some reason you live under a rock, they are essentially an 59 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,680 acapelagroop from Arlington, Texas. 60 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,840 And they do like pop style arrangements with harmonies and riffing and beatboxing. 61 00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,280 And they do some cover versions of modern pop songs and Christmas songs. 62 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:25,360 Sometimes medley's. 63 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,520 They're just awesome. 64 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:33,200 They essentially formed in 2011 and then won the third season of the Sing Off on NBC. 65 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,840 And then signed with Sony and blew up. 66 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:38,560 I mean, they're really, really, really amazing. 67 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:46,840 For YouTube channel has over 23 million subscribers and six billion with the B views, six 68 00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:47,840 billion views. 69 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:49,120 That's insane. 70 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,120 The latest album is their sixth Christmas album, Holidays Around the World. 71 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,360 And the single release from that is called prayers for this world. 72 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:05,240 And Holidays around the world, if, you know, you cut the hint in the title, has songs from 73 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,800 different cultures that are sung, sung during the holiday season. 74 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:16,080 And some new versions of some songs they've previously released plus three new originals, kid 75 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,760 on Christmas with Megan trainer and star on top as well as prayers for this world. 76 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,240 And they'll be going on tour in 2023. 77 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,520 That's this year. 78 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,840 So lots of good stuff from them. 79 00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:34,200 Now, by the way, they have one three different Grammy awards. 80 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:41,800 And they're up for another Grammy for best traditional pop vocal album at this year's Grammys 81 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,320 for their album, Evergreen. 82 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:51,160 So love, love, love, pentatonic and love Scott Hoying, who I'm talking with today. 83 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,040 He is the baritone of pentatonic. 84 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,440 He is also an incredible songwriter and musician. 85 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:05,440 And his released his first big solo single called Mars. 86 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,840 Mars, it's like this epic song, I absolutely love it. 87 00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:10,600 So Mars is out now. 88 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,200 Like I said, there's two additional versions that he released just a few days ago. 89 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:23,800 So let's get in to my conversation with V1 and only Scott Hoying. 90 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,680 So first of all, thank you so much Scott for joining me once again on I Heart Radio's 91 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,680 pop culture weekly. 92 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,680 I appreciate it. 93 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,680 Of course. 94 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,680 Hello. 95 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,680 Thanks for having me. 96 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,680 This is so cool. 97 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,000 I've never done like a solo press day before. 98 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,560 Yeah, it's exciting for you. 99 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,560 I'm sure. 100 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,240 Yeah, it's very exciting. 101 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,240 It's like just wild. 102 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,160 I've been wanting to do this for years, but I've always been so scared. 103 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,240 So this is the things for having me. 104 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,480 Of course. 105 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,720 You deserve it. 106 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:13,640 And we're talking about Mars, the single, which is incredible by the way Kudos for that. 107 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,520 Tell me, what is it like for you? 108 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,120 You've been with pentatonic obviously for a very long time. 109 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,760 And now as you said, you're, you know, just branching out on your own. 110 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,040 Are you terrified? 111 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,040 I mean, partially. 112 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,640 Fortunately, I do think I'm in the head space where I feel like I have the confidence. 113 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,440 And I feel good about putting it out and I can go to sleep proud of it. 114 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,880 I'm not putting too much pressure on it. 115 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:39,880 But there is a little bit of fear. 116 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,880 I mean, that's what helped me back for years. 117 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,040 It was just this fear that if I did something solo, everyone would hate it. 118 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,920 And I would develop this complex that I'm not interesting on my own without my bandmates. 119 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,040 And so it's cool to see the response to it. 120 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,560 And it's something I'm very proud of. 121 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,560 And it's done more for me than just being able to put out music. 122 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,680 It's just been a therapeutic, beautiful process of being able to be vulnerable and share my story 123 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,680 and make art. 124 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,520 And I love that for you. 125 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,680 And the single Mars is absolutely insanely good. 126 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,200 Tell me about it. 127 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,520 Where did the song come from? 128 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,160 And how did we get to listen to it today? 129 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,400 So the song came from, well, during the pandemic, I learned how to use pro tools 130 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,920 because I had to record remotely for pentatonic stuff. 131 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,480 And I became obsessed with pro tools and producing and writing. 132 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,120 So I've started writing a song pretty much every day for the last year. 133 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,080 And that's when I really started to be like, I need to do a solo project. 134 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,280 Because a lot of the songs were very personal stories. 135 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,760 They wouldn't have totally fit with pentatonic. 136 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,480 And I just was working my creative muscle. 137 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,960 I was feeling really confident in them. 138 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,000 And probably like 80 songs into that writing a day thing. 139 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,520 I wrote Mars. 140 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,560 And I was like, oh man, this feels like it could be special. 141 00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,760 But let me play it for Mark. 142 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,760 And Mark was like, this is your best one by far. 143 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,240 I love it. 144 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,360 He was a crying. 145 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:08,160 And that kind of started the process of talking to labels and figuring out what a solo project would 146 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:08,640 look like. 147 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,400 And right around the same time, I was arranging stuff for my dreamers, new album. 148 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,560 And she put me as a feature on one of the songs. 149 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,160 And so it all felt like all the planets, no pun intended were online. 150 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,880 I love that. 151 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,880 And again, I love that for you. 152 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,680 And I love it obviously as somebody who loves your work. 153 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:33,680 For you, it's got to be freeing in a lot of ways. 154 00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:38,160 And in the fact that this is you. 155 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,840 This is Scott. 156 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,360 And there is no-- none of your bandmates 157 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:49,680 to answer a question that you might not have wanted to or whatever. 158 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:51,840 It's Scott. 159 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,920 Is that freeing in a lot of ways too? 160 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,080 As much as it might be a little bit scary. 161 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,480 Is that freeing too? 162 00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,280 It's both. 163 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:04,080 It's very freeing in that like we don't have to-- 164 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,800 we usually have to unanimously agree on something creatively. 165 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,120 And so that's obviously going to be a process. 166

--> 00:27:42,240 Was it like to be able to be a part of this world that's such a well built, well written series? 476 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,240 Absolutely. 477 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:48,640 I mean, I think coming in with material, that's that good and kind of a high concept, that's 478 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,040 that's that good, really inspires you as a creative to meet those standards and keep pushing 479 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,120 the box kind of creatively. 480 00:27:56,120 --> 00:28:01,160 So I mean, this is the dream situation, I think, as both a writer and director, because 481 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,800 you get to come in and really just imagine anything. 482 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,760 And many, many wonderful colors to play with. 483 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,760 So yeah. 484 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:15,760 And for you, this give you more of a bug to create, you know, as a director, writer, producer, 485 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,520 is it, are you like on fire now? 486 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,520 Oh, absolutely. 487 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,440 I think when you find that thing that feels like your passion, you know it immediately, and 488 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:28,040 that's definitely how I felt being on the show, it was just sort of felt like where 489 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,040 I needed to be. 490 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:34,760 So yeah, and getting to hone my skills on this set and sort of become a more muscular 491 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,520 writer director, I now feel like I can enter the kind of film world feeling good. 492 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:47,240 So do you have an interest in the types of projects that your father night is known for those, 493 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:52,680 you know, which I'm obsessed with, those like kind of interesting, sometimes weird, sometimes 494 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,840 creepy worlds, is that kind of like a thing you like to? 495 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,840 Absolutely. 496 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,000 I mean, I think, yeah, I think I don't know if it's a choice or not, but I feel I was born 497 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,920 into this life where that material is just the most interesting to me and have a dark side as well. 498 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,720 So I'm very excited to kind of be putting that into the film sphere. 499 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:13,720 Yeah. 500 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:14,720 Awesome. 501 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,520 And is there can we expect, you have any plans for your next project? 502 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,760 Yes, I'm in the process of prepping my first feature. 503 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,600 So that should be happening very, very soon. 504 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,600 Yes. 505 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:27,600 Thank you. 506 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,200 It's a pleasure to meet you. 507 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,200 Yeah. 508 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:36,200 Shana Shama-laan. 509 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,200 Love her. 510 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:43,160 She's so talented and I am so excited to see her continue growing in her career. 511 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,880 See what she does next. 512 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:52,040 It's really awesome that she has actually directed and written my favorite episode so far, 513 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:58,120 which is episode three called Sayons, which will come out next week with Bev and Bobby 514 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,200 as I've been talking about for weeks. 515 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,040 So I think it's interesting that she wrote and directed that episode. 516 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,760 It's my favorite one so far. 517 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,440 And that is all because of Shana. 518 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:15,440 So we'll be hearing a lot from Ishana Shama-laan coming in time. 519 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,280 I am really, really sure of that. 520 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:26,720 Next up, Bobby, who you haven't yet met, but you will in next week's episode three titled 521 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:27,720 Sayons. 522 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,960 I guess it's season four episode three titled Sayons. 523 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,280 And she plays half of the pair of Bev and Bobby, who you are going to love. 524 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,120 I think just as much as I do. 525 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,760 So here she is. 526 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:47,240 Stage and screen actor Barbara Kingsley. 527 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,840 My favorite part about season four so far. 528 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,200 Watch the first three four episodes is Bev and Bobby. 529 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:59,320 I absolutely love Bev and how is it for you? 530 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:05,840 Because you ladies just kind of came in your whirlwind in the series. 531 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,960 How much fun was that for you to kind of do this? 532 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960 Just it was just crazy fun. 533 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,480 We had never met. 534 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:20,840 I knew Denny's work, but if you look up my resume or my bio, it's no secret that I spent 35 535 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,720 years in Minnesota. 536 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,040 Running the craft of stage. 537 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:31,880 And so as a result, I learned a lot from Denny. 538 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,880 She's a chef. 539 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,280 We're very different as human beings. 540 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,680 So very different. 541 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,400 But she has this sense of whimsy about her. 542 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,600 And then she'll just do laser focus. 543 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,800 And so whenever we were working, I don't know. 544 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,520 I will find out how much you see the two of us interacting with each other. 545 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:59,280 But it was always we were always this duo that fed off each other, which was so cool. 546 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:07,240 And it's interesting that you came from this stage because servant is very much for me almost 547 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,080 like a play that all kind of takes place mostly in this house. 548 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,520 And it's very tight writing. 549 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,120 That house so badly. 550 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,200 And I wandered around going, "My mom has that." 551 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,360 You know, "Wow, it is." 552 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:23,760 I wanted to go there and live. 553 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,640 And I thought that karma would be a little weird. 554 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:27,640 Kind of. 555 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,640 Yeah, it very much. 556 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:34,520 So I got to tell you, I went to the sale of the, yes. 557 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,760 And I got a couple of things from Bevin' Bobby's apartment, which I thought was amazing. 558 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:39,760 Yeah. 559 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:40,760 Oh, my god. 560 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:41,760 It's so cool. 561 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:42,760 Yeah. 562 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,160 It really was really cool. 563 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,160 Yeah. 564 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,880 I don't want it to go, but I was afraid to make me really sad. 565 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,400 And then I'd be like, "Oh, can I even afford to buy that?" 566 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,400 I don't know. 567 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,400 Yeah. 568 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,400 Yeah. 569 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,400 They had some awesome, you know. 570 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,400 It was amazing. 571 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,720 And they had basically Bevin' Bobby's apartment just kind of still set up. 572 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,400 You know, it was awesome. 573 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,840 So, I can't wait to see what happens with Bevin' Bobby in the rest of season 4. 574 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,400 Thank you so much for speaking with me. 575 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,400 Thank you. 576 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,400 It's fun, sure. 577 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,400 Be well. 578 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,400 Thank you, you too. 579

after servant without servant. 604 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,280 I don't think that I would have been able to 605 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,040 have the confidence to go and make a feature 606 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,000 if I didn't do the show. 607 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,800 It's kind of been the most amazing learn as you go. 608 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,760 I didn't go to school for acting and so I just, 609 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,440 this has been that for me and directors and night 610 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,000 and my beautiful classmate who I love so much. 611

00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,680 Congratulations on season four. 630 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,320 What was it like for you? 631 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,200 You know, you've been there since day one. 632 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,560 What was it like for you to finish, 633 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,800 you know, this incredible story? 634 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,280 Yeah, it was really kind of looting. 635 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,520 I mean, from personal level, 636 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,760 I was just being a part of the show for so long. 637 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,600 I think personally as well. 638 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,760 I mean, I've been, obviously, my history is part of which 639 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,920 was a very long term, kind of job. 640 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,360 But in a way, this felt a little bit more kind of 641 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,160 significant in many ways, because I became a dad 642 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,520 halfway through, we had the little COVID interrupted our shooting. 643 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,960 So it really feels like we've been on this incredible journey 644 00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,920 for the last five years. 645 00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,400 And yeah, for it to kind of suddenly wrap up, 646 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,080 is it's always hard. 647 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,240 I think we're always gonna miss the people. 648 00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,960 I think it's the perfect time to finish and I think 649 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,320 where the show has kind of gone now, 650 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,160 it's really interesting. 651 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,000 Yeah, no. 652 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,800 And it just kind of changed directions. 653 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,800 And you never really know where you are with it. 654 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,400 I mean, there's a lot of questions we have to answer in this season. 655 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,400 So it's, I think it comes to a very satisfying conclusion for sure. 656 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,720 Yeah, I can't wait to, I'm dying to see. 657 00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:30,520 And now I have like a month, you don't know me 658 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,320 to catch up, you know. 659 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:37,320 But one of the things that I love is your character and how, 660 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,600 you know, they are all, all the characters are flawed, right? 661 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:48,920 But yours is very, he is very open and sometimes 662 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,400 born with, you know, what's happening? 663 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,160 Is that refreshing for you to do something that's just kind of raw? 664 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,040 Yeah, absolutely. 665 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,440 I love, whatever, when I first read, 666 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,880 Julian, he's just got such a very specific way of speaking. 667 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,680 I love his kind of freeness with his words. 668 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,680 And there's just nothing that he's not afraid of anything. 669 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,280 Particularly in the early seasons, 670 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,000 he's this very strong character who's kind of, 671 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,040 kind of the perfect person to have in this situation. 672 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,800 Because he's very cool headed and he's always got an answer. 673 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,960 But I mean, as we see, as his kind of unpeeled 674 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,320 to other seasons, there's a lot of guilt he's holding on to. 675 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,400 And a lot of things he's kind of dealing with. 676 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,960 So he's a lot weaker than we really perceive originally. 677 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,600 And that's the interesting to kind of, 678 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,560 it's been interesting to kind of unpeak that. 679 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,560 Yeah, yeah. 680 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,200 And finally, what's next for you? 681 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,000 What do you have your next project lined up 682 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,760 or you're taking some time off? 683 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,000 Yeah, I go to the movie with tonight, 684 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,280 it comes out next month. 685 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,560 You're not, yeah, yeah. 686 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,800 But yeah, I mean, since then, no, I think just home 687 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:47,720 just being a dad as well. 688 00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:48,360 I'm enjoying it. 689 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:48,960 Yeah. 690 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:49,760 Congratulations. 691 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:50,160 Thank you. 692 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,280 Thank you for speaking with me. 693 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,360 I really appreciate it. 694 00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,160 "Rupert Grant, love, love, love, love him." 695 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,400 This is my fourth interview with "Rupert Grant" 696 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,480 and all four have been about servant 697 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:06,920 one for each season. 698 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,680 So that's exciting that, you know, 699 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:15,200 I think now we'll have to have Justin check. 700 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,760 But I think now the cast of servant 701 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:24,080 are my most frequent guests with four appearances each on the show. 702 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,040 So that's really cool. 703 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:26,880 At IT. 704 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:31,320 So speaking of one of my favorite directors ever, 705 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,800 let's get into talking to him live from the red carpet 706 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,440 in New York for the servant season four premiere. 707 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,920 Here's M Night Shyamala. 708 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:47,680 Hey, night, how are you? 709 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,000 Good to see you. 710 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,960 So you are here for season four premiere. 711 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,520 What does that like for you knowing? 712 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,440 You know, this is the last premiere for this world. 713 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,240 Yeah, I mean, it's a very rare thing to be able to do it. 714 00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:05,800 A TV show on your own terms for the entire time 715 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,800 and finish it because it was the right time to finish it. 716 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,760 And the audience is still at the peak of their love for the show. 717 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,400 That's the rare, right? 718 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,440 You're leaving when you're at the peak of the audience's love 719 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,280 for the show because the story has finished. 720 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,840 And so that's just a beautiful thing. 721 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,000 And the whole thing has been kind of poetic on so many, 722 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,880 so many levels both, you know, I got to work with my girls, 723 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,360 our girls got to be a part of it, but all the filmmakers 724 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,160 that I got to work with from around the world, 725 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,520 it just all feels like a dream that I wished to be this way. 726 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,800 And if you really, you know, so rarely in life, 727 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,360 does it exceed your expectations and this did? 728 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:49,200 For you with, you know, with this world that you've built, 729 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,240 would you make that choice going forward to know 730 00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:54,440 that there's going to be a beginning, middle? 731 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,280 And because that is relatively rare today, 732 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,160 is that a choice you're going to be doing from now on? 733 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,600 Or do you kind of sometimes like the excitement of maybe it goes 734 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:06,560 wherever it goes? 735 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,960 No, no, this is a big subject to me, what you're referencing, 736 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:15,560 the idea of don't let opportunity dictate your decisions. 737 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,560 That can't be the way. 738 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,760 I know that's contrary to the business, 739 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:25,040 but it should be the story and the creativity dictates your decisions. 740 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,840 And as we laid it out, it was four seasons. 741 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,280 You know, did everyone want to fifth and a sixth and a seventh? 742 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,440 Yes, but that's the way it felt. 743 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,760 And also what I could give at that level, you know, 744 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,480 where I want to put in every sound effect, 745 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,960 I want to adjust every color, I want to do every key with a composer. 746 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,960 So to do that requires an incredible amount of dedication. 747 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,360 And this is as much as I could give without stopping 748 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,600 making movies. 749 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:57,520 And so I let the process and the story dictate how long the show should be. 750 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,920 And so it was a beautiful thing. 751 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,880 And yes, we do it again, the same exact thing. 752 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,760 You know, you let the story dictates it and we're out. 753 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,520 No matter how much money, no matter how much opportunity, 754 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,880 you guys will smell that. 755 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,120 Yeah. 756 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,800 And that is why I've told you this before. 757 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,200 That is why I wanted to buy it's one of my top three shows, 758 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,840 ever, is because that authenticity that, you know, it's all about the story. 759 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,720 And just a side note, I got to tell you, went to the sale. 760 00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:25,120 And I got a couple of cool things. 761 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:25,920 I'm like, "I love it." 762 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,320 So now I have a piece of one of my favorite shows. 763 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:33,600 So yeah, as a big film buff, and you are too, you know, with that means. 764 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,200 So anyway, thank you. 765 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,520 Congratulations on the success of servant. 766 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,120 And thank you for speaking with me again. 767 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,120 Thank you. 768 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,120 Thank you. 769 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,200 Love him. 770 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,160 I seriously never get sick of talking to him. 771 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,520 I got to talk to him all the time. 772 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:50,720 He's a genius. 773 00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:51,720 He really is. 774 00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:57,600 And I just can't wait to see what he does next, which is in his case, 775 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:03,680 is called "Knock at the cabin," which is coming out in February. 776 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:11,080 So yeah, there is the footage, the
