Jesse Eisenberg

What is real pain? Is my character's manageable, medicated OCD pain valid? Or is the only pain that's valid and should be kind of acknowledged is the pain of war and of kind of mass genocide and mass trauma?

Thank you so much. What an honor to be on your show.

Well, yeah, I mean, actually, it was even more explicit than what you mentioned. It was at Auschwitz tours with lunch. So, right, so I was writing this movie that took place in Mongolia. It was about similar kind of characters, David and Benji, the characters Kieran and I play in this movie.

But it was set in Mongolia, and it was just not going well, and then an ad popped up online for Auschwitz tours with lunch. And I just thought, you know, well, first, like, I must be the target demographic for that advertisement, but also... Like, it was just so profound in its simplicity.

It spoke to so many awkward modern things, which is just like, you know, we want to tour sites of horror and, you know, kind of wonder, like, why do we want to do that? What are we doing when we're doing that? And then also we want to maintain the creature comforts that we have in our lives. So that's the with lunch part.

And so, you know, I clicked on the ad, and it took me to a site for, you know, what you would imagine English-speaking –

Yeah, exactly. Like, you know, one of the kind of ironies with Kieran's character in the movie, you know, as you said, he kind of plays this incredibly charming and manic guy. But he also is just privately suffering from severe depression. I mean, severe, like, you know, you know, wondering if he wants to go on with his life.
