You're huge to us.

So you can be as earnest as you like.

Yeah.

Because we know how funny you are.

Thank you.

So like, you know, we grew up with, well, grew up, when we were teenagers, we were going to watch the original scary movies, gay movie too.

In Kettering, where I'm from, it's a little small town.

Yeah.

There wasn't many moments where everyone really crammed in a screen and properly laughed for a whole movie.

And me and my friends went to see those films multiple times with everyone laughing.

So pretty special stuff.

So it's a big deal for us to be doing this pod with you.

And you're doing another scary movie film, which is massive.

This latest one.

There must have been so many times over the years where you've been, because there's been such a, which is why it's such a great time to make this movie now, is because there's been such an explosion of horror films again and people watching them.

There must have been times over the years where you've been watching these big horror films and thinking, we could do a funny...

twist on this scene or... No.

You don't think about that?

Right, yeah.

No, it was fine.
