50.665 - 54.853 Joe Bird

It was a blacked out Audi pulls up. The whole street went quiet, firstly.

I think someone was- You felt Joe before you saw him, put it that way. The aura. There was aura there.

61.461 - 68.309 Joe Bird

I think they must have had a police convoy, police escort. Right. In pulls, I reckon the car would have been worth at least a mil.

A mil?

167.926 - 180.867 Will Gibb

Holy shit. And this is the part that I... But like all I got to say, it's 86 minutes, bro. Yeah. And you know what that means to me. How good is that? The perfect movie length for me is 90 minutes with credits. Oh, 100%. It's the perfect length, bro.

86. 86. 86 with credits. Beautiful. And it's an Aussie film. Aussie film. This is some of the reviews we got. Shit. I did notes. Yeah, go. In increasingly overcrowded horror field, Leviticus stands tall. A smart and surprisingly romantic debut from writer, director, Adrian. Kirella. Kirella. Yes. Leviticus is a horror discovery of immense power that marks Kiera.

Chapter 3: What challenges did Joe Bird face in his acting career?

215.419 - 238.886 Will Gibb

Mark. Shout out Mark Bird. That's an exciting new filmmaking voice. Shout out Mark Bird. A stylish, urgent, queer horror film. A grim and clever consult. Concite. Concite. Concite. C-O-N-C-E-I-T. Conceit. Conceit. Conceit? Really? And Joe, you're the photo on it, bread. Yeah, I mean. That's you, my brother.

239.046 - 249.228 Joe Bird

Yeah, the bus stop thing the other day. That's me. And you're on magazines on that. Yeah, I mean, it's like pretty insane. It's just kind of, I don't know. I feel like it started picking up a lot in the last like month and a half.

Chapter 4: How did Joe Bird feel during the making of Leviticus?

249.769 - 250.29

How much did you get paid?

0

251.232 - 275.248 Joe Bird

so um it was kind of this thing where like they were gonna pay me like in so i didn't actually get paid any money oh yeah yeah yeah they were just like if you want to do this like you can do it free for exposure so that was like kind of like what the vibe was um dude it's so sick seeing you it's honestly so bizarre and the trailer's like but i showed pat this is the tea i showed pat the trailer and the first like 30 seconds he's in

0

275.228 - 290.613 Joe Bird

He's like, this looks so good, bro. This looks so lit. And then when it started to get supernatural, Pat went, turn it off. I can't watch, bro. He like, there's trailers. Yeah, I mean, my one memory of you is I remember like having the talk to me hand in my bedroom and like just going up to you with it.

0

290.714 - 298.842 Will Gibb

Yeah, brother, I'm not touching that shit. You freaked the fuck out. Because it fucks with my head. I get fucking like. I'm scared of ghosts and shit, bro.

0

299.362 - 303.368 Joe Bird

Is there an event that happened in your life that made you scared of this stuff?

304.189 - 318.429 Will Gibb

Yeah. I ate five bags of magic mushrooms in Bali. And I got scared of something taking over my brain. That's probably one. Do you reckon that's it? Do you reckon that's the turning point? No, because I watched horror movies since. Which horror movies have you last watched?

318.449 - 333.636 Will Gibb

I think it's just, there was one, I don't know, for some reason, like not to get deep, with my anxiety, I get so, I pick up fears. Yeah, right. And I'll go through phases of fears and I went through a fear of like something taking over my body. Like that was my biggest fucking fear in life. Yeah, right. No, it makes sense though. It's literally what the movie is.

333.937 - 336.18 Joe Bird

I mean, have you watched any... Like, what was the most recent horror film you watched?

336.2 - 347.615 Will Gibb

Well, I watched, obviously, like, Talk To Me and Bring Her Back, and I really enjoyed them. Of course, of course. Did you watch Obsession? No, I haven't watched that yet. You should, bro. I do want to watch that. I reckon I... Because I love horror. Oh, yeah, right.

386.097 - 387.081 Will Gibb

Anthony Minichiello.

0

388.045 - 412.072 Joe Bird

Yeah. Todd Carney. I reckon mine would be... Yeah. Or Emile Smith-Rowe, the Fulham player. He used to play for Arsenal. He's not at Arsenal anymore? No, he plays for Fulham. That would be mine. And I'd be like, brah, what are you doing here? You're on the... You're meant to be playing footy. Because can they... Can the entities speak? No. Oh, yes. But it's like... So you see them?

0

412.512 - 414.836 Joe Bird

415.036 - 416.459 Will Gibb

Yes. And this isn't spoiling. I love rules.

416.479 - 418.001 Joe Bird

No, no, no. Rules are important.

418.282 - 418.602 Will Gibb

No spoilers.

418.622 - 439.851 Joe Bird

This isn't spoiling. So it's kind of like you... when this like conversion ritual happens to you. So this entity was like, it's taking the form of person you most desire, but it can only come for you when you're alone. So there's other people around. It won't appear. Right. So the thing is, it's like, um, Yeah, I don't know. I guess it's like the loneliness is like a big thing, right?

0

589.274 - 598.583 Will Gibb

She's singing on the pod. We're trying to not take the piss, but do our own like tiny desk concert. Oh my God. It's a song that isn't on the out. It's coming on the deluxe.

0

598.684 - 599.444 Joe Bird

Yeah, on the deluxe.

0

599.564 - 600.025 Will Gibb

No one knows it.

600.045 - 612.08 Joe Bird

Well, she has like Never Do on like the B side. Oh my God. I'm going to be here. Yeah. I'm going to- Yeah. That is insane. Is it because you saw like the old stuff of like when we would always talk about like what you guys would talk about.

612.46 - 613.442 Will Gibb

872.623 - 878.834 Joe Bird

How was getting, you did your own stunts. Yeah, I did do my own stunts. That's fun. Yeah, it was exciting. Because I remember you showed me and you had like a big rope on.

0

878.854 - 879.575 Will Gibb

Tom Cruise. Yeah.

0

879.815 - 896.225 Joe Bird

Yanked you, bro. Yeah, no, it was, I mean, we had our stunt team, like Warwick Sadler. I don't know whether you guys know him. I don't know if you've done stunts with him before. I don't know. I've not done stunts with him. It was like really cool because we kind of had like- I've not done stunts before. You did maybe some TV show. I don't know what happens.

0

896.385 - 909.592 Joe Bird

We had like stunt doubles, but it was more so that they were like kind of teaching us what to do. And then we would go do that on set. Yeah. And like, you know, they were really great. We had a lot of rehearsal time doing stunts. So like when we got to filming, it was almost secondhand nature.

0

909.733 - 919.989 Joe Bird

But like a lot of the stunts weren't, you know, necessarily the fighting, but it was also like the rolling around at the start of the film and like just, you know, small things, like not what you would think is like... I don't know.

920.069 - 922.273 Will Gibb

Was there one gnarly stunt where it was like, holy fuck?

922.573 - 940.022 Joe Bird

Yeah. There was like a stunt where we're at like the mill and it's like the final attack, I guess. But it was just like so many moving parts. Like, okay, you have to roll this way. And then like this metal pipe that you're like trying to like hit down. You have to like get the lighter and whatever. It's just like, there was so much going on, but it does look so sick on camera.

940.002 - 942.985 Joe Bird

Do you love the movie? I really like, I really love the movie.

943.005 - 943.145 Bruno Satin

Yeah.

Chapter 8: How does Joe Bird view horror films in relation to his work?

1126.235 - 1154.52 Will Gibb

Where were you, Joe? It's just out. You missed the midnight rosemary, Joe. Oh. I'm sorry, sir. I'm your brother, Joe, not your sir. I'm sorry. Every Tuesday at midnight, we pray, Joe. Oh, I'm scared. Come here, Joe. Sorry for missing your prayer. I'm wigging it. Breathe on me. Breathe on me.

0

1157.555 - 1158.376 Joe Bird

What the fuck?

0

1158.396 - 1187.63 Will Gibb

No. Breathe on me, Joe. I like this. What do you think? Breathe on me. Alcohol, Joe. You have sinned. Oh, that's stog. That's it. End scene.

0

1188.166 - 1190.61 Joe Bird

Yeah, I, sorry, I kind of lost it halfway through.

0

1190.65 - 1193.454 Will Gibb

I didn't know what was going on. No, I felt it. You felt it? You were scared, you were confused.

1193.474 - 1196.479 Joe Bird

I was scared, I was like kind of drunk. I was like, ugh.

1196.499 - 1204.892 Will Gibb

Do you ever, because can I tell you something? And you actually did smell like alcohol there. I know you've had a big media day, but you've got to be a bit more professional than that, mate.

1205.053 - 1227.331 Joe Bird

Oh, whatever. Do you ever, because when I was acting, I'd get halfway through a scene and in my head, I'm saying the lines, but my head is saying, you're the worst actor of all time. That's what I'm telling myself. I'm saying this is bad. This is bad. I would go into... I would cringe. I cringe. I feel like every actor has an inner critic, right? And it's not necessarily a bad thing.

1227.411 - 1244.65 Joe Bird

I think it just wants to give you that ambition to work harder, you know? But it's bad, bro, sometimes. Oh, it's definitely bad. And I think... Yeah. It's like, like, I mean, you say before when I was calling you being like, Oh, I'm not going to grow. It's like, you know, cause that's my inner critic telling me that I'm shit and I can't do it and whatnot.
