What's happening?
Hey, great to be back. Thanks for having me. Your movie is really funny. It's really funny. By myself, laughing out loud hysterically today. I watched it in the sauna. I watched it in the gym. I watched it... It was... It's one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time. Because there's so many moments that are so uncomfortable. That means a lot. I appreciate that. Yeah.
That's what we're hoping for. The Robin DiAngelo one where you gave that guy money for reparations and you got her. She thought it was uncomfortable. Yeah.
That was kind of... When we had the idea for the film to talk about race, we knew we needed to get Robin D'Angelo. I didn't think we'd get her because I figured she'd be a lot more cautious. Yeah, savvy and cautious. But apparently she has no idea what's happening outside of her bubble at all. So she didn't know who I was. I mean, I gave her my name and she had no clue. Wow.
But we kind of went into that knowing what the end was supposed to be, if we could get her. We came up with that idea. We went to a bar the night before the interview and we came up with this idea. Could we get her to actually pay reparations to Ben, our black producer? And we had to kind of talk him into it. And, you know, it was really just like,
In real time, I was there for about two hours, and it was an hour and a half of the most mind-numbing conversation where I'm just – none of that's in the movie because it's just me, like, fluff questions. And I'm repeating back to her own ideas so she knows that I'm a safe person. Right.
It's a safe space, and then you've got to build to it and build to it and build to it, and then finally you get to a point where you can do something a little weird, and she'll probably go along with it. Yeah. And she did. I mean, you saw, we go through a whole, we have a whole series of exercises we want to do with her. And she went, she did it. She was game.
