Yeah, and I always had heard that Gene Hackman didn't get this movie and didn't get Wes Anderson and had a really tough time on set.

But I saw an interview this past week when we were doing research for this where Wes is talking about shooting with Gene Hackman and he didn't really talk about it that way.

He just talked about it more as like Gene Hackman is an actor who likes to be left alone.

And he likes you to like... He doesn't like to know that you're standing there watching him.

He wants you to be over there somewhere out of the way.

And so it sounded like it's...

I think maybe this story about him being ill-tempered on set was maybe apocryphal or something.

Totally.

Totally.

It feels like the whole film is set up like there's all these books everywhere, right?

And it just feels like it's like a narrator of a book.

It's like the omniscient narrator who's telling the story.

Could be, yeah, could be.

Yeah, Jake, we are down to the final four in our May Madness sitcom theme tournament.

Voting in this semifinal round will end tonight at 11.59 p.m., so there's still time to get in a vote if you haven't yet.

But I've got a little halftime update here for you.

In our first matchup, we've got the Jeffersons with the early lead over the surprising Addams Family.

35 to 25.

In our other matchup, two great theme songs going up against each other, The Golden Girls and Welcome Back, Cotter.

Currently, Cotter and the Sweathogs are ahead, 38 to 22.
