"James Gunn"

Do you know what I mean?

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

But man, Chris and I. Which I want to get into, yeah, yeah.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

It's so, yeah, I had the luxury of doing press jackets for a couple of years on the Lego stuff with Chris, and it was some of the most fun I've ever had in show business.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

It was actually doing press tours because we laughed our asses off.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

So you mentioned the Peacemaker.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

So you're directing all these movies, and then you went back for it, and now you're co-chairman and CEO of DC Studios, and then you're directing the new Superman movie, which is, as we all know, directing of it would just take the years and the hours and the time and the life and blah, blah, blah.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

And in there, you created this show, The Peacemaker, with John Cena, which you wrote a bunch of episodes.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

Which is insane if you think about it, right?

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

That sentence that you just uttered is quite crazy, don't you think?

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

Yeah, but I mean, to the extent that like, and JB going off what you just said, which is, I remember years ago being, and this is on a much, much smaller scale, but being in a meeting, in a casting meeting for a TV show with a bunch of executives from a TV studio that does, from back then, this is 25 years ago,

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

And I'd already been cast in the thing.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

And I go in and we read a bunch of people for this other part.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

And one of the people who runs the studio, one of the people, executives, after the person leaves is like, yeah, yeah, I think he's good.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

And he's having this conversation.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

He's driving the conversation about the creative of this casting of this actor.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

And this guy literally was a fucking bean counter.

SmartLess
"James Gunn"

Quite literally had been an accountant before.
