  • Good guest; bad host

    Given that I have only listened to one episode with ari aster of midsommar which made me really excited to listen to the episode. But to put it simply the host can’t shut up.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ronny Chieng
Q: How does your season typically go in terms of break and balancing other projects?
The show runs hard with an off-season around August, but there's a culture of juggling multiple projects like stand-up and other TV work; the team's rhythm and many responsibilities make it feasible to stay active across gigs while the Daily Show continues to produce.
James Gray, Anthony Katagas and Rodrigo Teixeira
Q: Have you assembled your next project yet, the three of you?
They acknowledge ongoing discussions with ideas in development but emphasize that they are still early, with plans to share more concrete information as it develops.
James Gray, Anthony Katagas and Rodrigo Teixeira
Q: And then if you don't mind sharing with us 1986, why 1986?
The year marks a pivotal historical moment with the fall of socialist restructuring, which Gray ties to the film's themes of economic power, moral questions, and the unraveling of old systems, providing a backdrop against which the characters' ambitions collide with harsh realities.
James Gray, Anthony Katagas and Rodrigo Teixeira
Q: So why did you wait so long to tell this story? Were you emotionally not ready to tell it? Was this the right time?
Gray explains that confronting personal material directly depends on personal growth and the ability to distance oneself enough to address painful memories with honesty, and notes that he is a different person now than a decade or two ago, which made telling the story possible.
Nia DaCosta
Q: Did you find working with Killian Murphy daunting?
No, I found it incredibly exciting to bring back a character and work with an actor I admire.
