The Big Picture · ‘Primetime’ Is a Robert Pattinson Transformation and the Nightmare Media Movie of Our Time, With Lance Oppenheim! · 25 Sep 2026 podcast

The suggestion that at least in the world of the movie voice-verified

that this kind of destroys him in a way because he's not quite at the mountaintop of credibility or prestige. voice-verified

And so then he's sort of forced to embrace the thing that you're good at, which is I think actually quite a relatable thing. voice-verified

And I'm really interested in this in terms of what Pattinson is doing in his performance and and how you guys talked about the character and how you are directing the actors because voice-verified

Hans Hansen seems like a like a nut bar. voice-verified

I think most people will be like, this is just a crazy person. voice-verified

But voice-verified

There's like a little shred of empathy for him that's like he kind of got himself into this position. voice-verified

There's a level of success where he's being told that he's great and doing something important. voice-verified

You have that incredible scene in the film where Creed Bratton is talking to him on the airplane and he's you can feel Pattinson kind of like reckoning with his own success and his own like what his responsibility in the world is. voice-verified

And it's this mixture of voice-verified

Joy and pride. voice-verified

And and doubt and and disregard for with the self that I I just thought was really, really interesting. voice-verified

So like how do you think about portraying him then where it's like he does seem like kind of a ghoul at times in the movie, but at other times you're like, well, he got himself trapped in this lifestyle and there's no way out based on what he wants for his life. voice-verified

this canary in the coal mine for America's Purian interest, you know, that there's this idea that the thing that makes him most famous is his his theatrical quality in terms of exploring this show, like it building this show, which then tells us, you know, and I it does feel like that is very much at the forefront. voice-verified

of the m idea of the movie is like this kind of shows us a portal to where we're headed over time in terms of what we want from our entertainment. voice-verified

And, you know, it's it has been talked about quite a bit and writ and and dramatized in movies before, you know, going back to Facing the Crowd and Network. voice-verified

And there are a lot of movies that are kind of about how there's this always this figure. voice-verified

at the center of our media culture, who is like yow loudly yelling at us about what we really want and they're usually right. voice-verified

I'm curious, like how much did you think about those movies in the past or like do they intersect at all with what you're trying to portray about? voice-verified
