WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Episode 1647 - Scott Frank

Well, I love those British procedurals. And this is a Danish novel that I turned into a British procedural. And I'm obsessed with like Happy Valley and Broadchurch and Line of Duty was this fucking masterpiece. It's like their wire. I think the blue lights, all these. Or going back to Prime Suspect. And they're great.

And what I wanted to do, what was so fun about doing Godless, was to embrace every single Western cliche there is. The gunfight, the breaking of the horses, all this, the crazy bad guy, all this. And then turn it on its head somehow. And so I wanted to do a procedural that's also on tilt a little bit. And so that was the fun of it. And so I read these books frequently. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.

Listen, let me help you. We'll get a writer, you can work with somebody and you can develop it and you can, and then, you know, and I said, okay, but I'm not going to direct it or do any of it.

Ich bin auf dem Prezips. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. I think I need a laundromat. I'm going to have a scene in a laundromat. I think I need this. I think I need that. And it was crazy.

Because I don't know what I'm doing in terms of that stuff.

That's exactly it. You've got to, where are you going to land? Right. Yeah, that's exactly it. And sometimes when you're cornered, I find myself doing amazing work and sometimes I find myself so frozen. Well, that's when you bail. Nothing happens. You eject with a chute. Yeah.
