Joel Anderson

Go.

No, no, no.

I was just going to say I wanted to play a little background music while I was talking.

And I just need you to do something for me.

Take a step back and literally fuck your own face!

It was a lot.

This is a movie where if it didn't work, I wonder if they would have released it.

You know, that's the stakes.

It's like, if this doesn't come off, if this doesn't play, can you put this in movie theaters?

What do you think ended it?

Was it social media?

Was it like the kind of the open of the town square of discourse and criticism?

Or was it these guys all get too big and you can't mess with the money that much?

Like, what is it?

And...

When you think about the fact that this is the same year Iron Man comes out, so this is the sort of completion of his renaissance, you know, his career revival.

But he's not that far into becoming an insurable actor again when he does this.

Which, on the one hand, is crazy that he did it, but on the other hand, it makes sense because you're like, he wouldn't do this today.

You know, I don't think anybody in this movie would do Tropic Thunder today.

Not because of necessarily the content.
