00:00Honestly, it's probably Home Alone.

00:09I think because it's one of the first movies I saw where like a kid was the star.

00:13It almost seemed like it was written by a kid.

00:15It really inspired me.

00:16And I remember after I saw Home Alone is when I first started trying to write a movie.

00:21I feel like I'm in a therapy session like unearthing like a repressed memory

00:25that I have not literally thought about since I, whatever, what year did Home Alone come about? 1990 maybe?

00:30I was maybe eight or nine years old.

00:33I was also a big Three Ninjas fan, which honestly similar vein as Home Alone.

00:38I like movies with kids beating up adults.

00:40And so I think it was my take on a kids beating up adults movie, yeah.

00:46Amy Pascal for sure had some of the best stories.

00:49And she is I think one of the longest running, if not the longest running studio heads in Hollywood history.

00:54Like she was in charge of Sony for a very long time and saw many different like eras of film come and go

01:03and different trends and all that.

01:06And she worked with everybody.

01:08And she's someone that we were very close with and very good friends with her.

01:11She was willing to be very honest with us and have a lot of candor, you know.

01:15And so she really gave us a lot that was incredibly helpful and inspirational for the show.

01:22Yeah.

01:23I don't spend a lot of time in my trailer in general.

01:25And I sometimes go into other actors' trailers and I'm like, whoa, you've got a whole thing in here.

01:30I put an espresso, I have an espresso machine in my trailer because I drink a lot of caffeine throughout the day.

01:35And a little speaker where I listen to music sometimes.

01:41And that's sparkling wine.

01:43Literally, I don't have much in my trailer at all.

01:45I spend no time in my trailer.

01:46I wouldn't even get changed in my trailer.

01:48I had a little tent on set where I got changed.

01:50So I don't need much.

01:52Take us through the eras of what a Seth Rogen type might be.

01:54I think at one point it was like a schlubby stoner type.

01:56Okay.

01:57We evolved into like a neurotic middle-aged Jewish type.

02:00Those are the roles I give myself consistently, so.

02:03Music

02:20.

02:23.

02:27.
