Who are Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett?
All right, today we are joined by a directing team. We're joined by the directing team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillette, the men behind Radio Silence. You've seen their movies. You've seen Ready or Not. You've seen Scream 5, Scream 6, Abigail, Devil's Due, and you are going to see on March 20th their new movie, Ready or Not 2. We're here with the Radio Silence boys. How you doing, Matt and Tyler?
Hey! Yes. Extremely excited to be here. I know we said this earlier, but, like, my God, this is... Yeah, in the preamble. Yes.
So, let's run it back, guys. What makes you fans of us?
How long you got? Where do we begin?
You know, when we used to do our own shorts, I'm not even kidding, and we used to do shorts and we'd drive up to, like, Lone Pine, we would listen to your guys' episodes... The whole way. Really?
What inspired the creation of Ready or Not 2?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Well, I can comfortably ask because we talked about this. We want to keep this light. We want to keep this fun. But would you feel that your entrance into the major Hollywood system has given you information that you're trying to disseminate through your pop culture films in a way that we would find entertaining and not frightening due to the truth of the information that you hold?
Yes, they're warning. Oh, yeah, we're just fully training the masses. Interesting. You're going to get us killed.
Are you excited that there's two of you? That way, if one of you mysteriously has a heart attack after this comes out, they can't do it to both of you.
Yes, the Radio Silence legacy will continue on. It's a long game. We've been planning.
If there was a way for the government to leave your bodies, how would you want that? Like, honestly, how would you choose the government to kill you both?
Oh, man. I want to be found in like a fountain at a shopping mall, like a busy shopping mall. Okay. I think would be great.
No, we can make that happen. Yeah, no problem.
Oh, we can have you, you can fall through the skylight to make sure that it's at the busiest time of the holiday season. You fall through the skylight and into the middle. Yeah. And of course the little girl must scream.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Matt, how do you want to die?
yeah by the government by the government um oh boy geez i could it be one of those things where it's like there's a bunch of versions of it so there's a bunch of conspiracy theories i hope it becomes one of those is he dead things you're poisoned you're shot you're hung by you're hung from the ceiling you're electrocuted yeah yes in like different countries and so there's a bunch of mystery his suicide note was just the letter y
Just know, I will make sure your penis is preserved in formaldehyde for the rest of time.
I didn't want to ask, but... The Moody Museum's already on the line. It's great. We're going to have it there for you. They're desperate for cock. So let me ask you guys, why do you hate the rich so much? Because obviously I'm looking at your homes and you ain't it.
You ain't it.
Yeah, on the desperate climb to reach that, it's very odd how critical we are of it, right?
Yeah, but I mean, because, you know, the Ready or Not films, like both of them are definitely like criticisms on the rich and how they play with the. I mean, we're doing a series on the like we're working on a series on the DuPont's right now. And, you know, you know, the DuPont Foxcatcher murder was very much just a man playing with the lives of those that they see below them. Like, what is it about that with the Ready or Not films that you guys wanted to bring to the forefront?
Abigail, too.
And Abigail as well, yeah.
Yeah, Abigail's a lot of it. I think it's something that it just, I mean, it's unfortunately just a truism. It's just, it's an evergreen truth that the rich will take advantage of everybody else, right? At the end of the day.
How do the directors feel about their Hollywood experience?
Yeah.
And I think that a long enough timeline, if you've achieved that level of of success, there's no way that you've avoided exploiting some somebody or something on the path to that. It's just it's just not that's just how the the world operates, unfortunately.
