Last Podcast On The Left · Bring Her Back: An Interview with Danny & Michael Philippou · 29 May 2025 podcast

Why don't we go for a race, boys?

Yeah. Yeah, Danny. Don't at me. Yep.

Yeah, that's my, I love it so much. I love world building. I love like building out the Bible and the backstory and the law and like going into every possible detail. Like I love ironing that out. And then I also love dropping people into the middle of it. And it's like told from the perspective of the characters and the point of view of the people that we're following.

And the kids being out of the depth of their hand and talk to me, I love that. They're not sitting there researching and figuring out all the answers, but there's obviously a history there. There's something happening. And the same, so this, there is something that we've built out and we're designing right now that is like the hand of talk to me to the bring her back universe.

I love that thing.

It's a candle holder, mate.

It's an incense holder, buddy. No, but it's the same as when you're writing a character. You've got to know the entire backstory of the character. You need to know all the moments that led up to this moment, why they're like this, their personality, what are the key moments in their life that made them this way.

And it's the same with the backstory of anything like on that other side of it, the tapes, the... Where did Laura get these tapes? The backstory. Who are these people? Who created them? Why? What is the mythos, the entire mythos? You've got to know that stuff. That's important to know. So even though you never, same with the characters, there's a lot of things you'll never see on screen.

It's still important to have that so it feels real. I love that thing with The Shining and that ending. If you read the script, you'd know that Jack Torrens is a resurrected person from someone that used to live in a hotel, but it's completely cut out of the movie. And then there's the book that has all this backstory, and you're getting glimpses of this bigger world.

And I love that there's a bigger stage that these films are playing in. I love that. Malazan, do you know those books? Yes. Yes. You know, like there's this entire world and you're like, you're reading it and you're a bit out of your depth. And you're like, wait, what's this? Who's this?

Yeah, you can figure it out. Is to stay engaged.

I would say it's very arrogant of you to compare yourself to The Shining. I did not compare myself.

I'm sort of like Stephen King.

Yeah. It's sort of like the theorizing or when you come across like a piece of lost media or you look at those old school footage and you're like, you don't have the context and you're like, what the fuck is this thing? This is terrifying. This weird clip or this execution video, fake, but whatever it is. And it's like, where are they? What language are they speaking right now?

Like what is happening? Like that stuff just makes for really horrific art.

Yeah, because it's more, in a way it's more accessible now. the mystery. It's more accessible now.

That's even scarier because you can't differentiate that line now and you're lost between those things and you're like, people can fake this stuff, but also it's real enough that that real stuff also does happen, so it's terrifying.

I know.

And we thought there's no fucking way that she would respond and she would say yes. I still don't think she'll do it. Yeah. She was the first person that we reached out to and we were thinking, there's no fucking way she's going to say yes. She's like the new Amanda Plummer. Yeah, that's her. That's her. We said that. You're like the new Amanda Plummer. And she turned down the film.

Yeah, she's like, fuck you both. Do you know who I am? I make wet films.
