"James Gunn"

So please just tell us a little bit about that experience and what it is and what that was for you.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

But he's kind of like almost like an East Coast Roger Corman.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

Is that a fair comparison?

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

But you were able to cut your teeth there.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

You were given the experience, the opportunity to write a script, to write a screenplay.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

You didn't even go into... Is it true you were applying for a job just to work there and they asked you to write it?

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

I think I speak for Sean when I say gross.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

He picks up my dry cleaning, yeah.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

"James Gunn"

We'll get somebody to just write it, and then we're going to make this movie.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

It's like, no, no, no.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

You're skipping the biggest step, which is you need the material needs to be there.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

Otherwise, what are you doing?

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

And people just kind of skip over it.
