Chapter 4: How did Joe Bird feel during the making of Leviticus?
How much did you get paid?
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
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.
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.
Is there an event that happened in your life that made you scared of this stuff?
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?
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.
I mean, have you watched any... Like, what was the most recent horror film you watched?
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.

Chapter 5: What are the standout elements of Leviticus according to Joe?
Yeah. Make it easier.
Mine would probably be.
Anthony Minichiello.
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?
So it's kind of like the... I guess the rules.
Yes. And this isn't spoiling. I love rules.
No, no, no. Rules are important.
No spoilers.
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?

Chapter 7: What are the reactions to Joe Bird's performance in Leviticus?
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.
Tom Cruise. Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
Was there one gnarly stunt where it was like, holy fuck?
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.
Do you love the movie? I really like, I really love the movie.
Yeah.

Chapter 8: How does Joe Bird view horror films in relation to his work?
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.
What the fuck?
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.
Yeah, I, sorry, I kind of lost it halfway through.
I didn't know what was going on. No, I felt it. You felt it? You were scared, you were confused.
I was scared, I was like kind of drunk. I was like, ugh.
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.
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.
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.
