I'm going to finish that thing in three fucking days. And he came back and he said, I finished the script and I read it. And I go, you read it in three days? And he goes, well, I wrote some of it before, but it... I just kept thinking I wasn't ready. And then you told me the thing about not being ready. And you said that it really resonated. I went and I finished it in three days.

I go, man, I'm going to do that. I'm going to go do the DJ method. I call the DJ method. I have a bunch of half-baked ideas that I'm just going to go turn off the phone and finish the thing in three days. And I'll fix it later. But the three days, it's going to be pure pipe. It's just going to be coming through because you're just going to be picking up the pen.

So anyway, he came to me with this idea. He said, oh man, I was hoping you'd do the last episode of Dust Till Dawn because I had this great idea for a scene. We're in a zombie town, Western town. We have those guns where you have to pull the trigger, you know, the hammer back before you can fire.

So I thought, what if I have a gun that's empty and I got bullets in the other hand and I bump into a zombie, the bullets go flying, I jump and I catch all the bullets and shoot the guy before I hit the ground. Okay, that's kind of a real cool, like, desperado type thing, but dude, this is a seven-day shoot for these episodes. Every one of the crew will have a different idea on how to do that.

Stunt guy will put you on wires because you have to do all that action or... The DP isn't even operating the camera. It's a camera guy. The director doesn't know how to shoot. He's not operating the camera. Your editor's in a room somewhere. VFX guys aren't there. You're not going to be able to ask them how to do it.

But I, in my own VFX, I came up with how we did all the shots in Sin City and all the spiking. We need one guy to come do it. I'll come do it for you. I'll come do it because I'm already going to be there because I have to shoot a second unit fight scene for the other actor who wanted a cool fight scene. So I was already doing that.

When it comes to your scene, we'll switch places because it's got to be done quick because you've got, you got to shoot it in 20 minutes because you got a ton of other shit you got to shoot and you'll just never get it. You won't even get it in a film schedule, you know, in a regular movie schedule. It's just too crazy. You need somebody with a vision to do the whole thing.

So this is what it would look like if you're on the set. I'm going to show you the footage and I'm going to show you the scene. I have to show it to you a couple of times because you're not going to believe what you're about to see. So if you were on the set, this is what it would look like. So I get there. They said, we're ready for that scene.
