Acting in Isolation| Ep. 30

MAX: 00:02
Welcome back to Two Unemployed Actors. I'm Max. 

SAM: 00:15
I'm Sam. 

MAX: 00:16
And we have a bit of a coronavirus special, kind of. Um and and you know, the way it's impacted the arts, and certainly here in Australia, and certainly us as individuals, as artists. Yes. Um, and a bit of an update on what we've been up to in the last uh week or what we won't be up to in the next couple months. Indeed. It's been quite which leads us nicely into coronavirus. First of all, the disclaimer for coronavirus. If you're tuning in for health advice, um uh no, we're not gonna give health updates on the case. We're not gonna meet unemployed actors giving health updates on the code. The extent of our knowledge there is basically what we're being updated to by the media, and it's kind of panic coronavirus media at the moment.

SAM: 01:00
And how it's affecting the creative industries many industries, but especially the creative ones as well.

MAX: 01:06
I mean, on the on the front line, the first defeaty effects, um, you know, people going out to eat, people going out to to go to concerts, people going out to to festivals. Festivals have been canned, a lot of the arts have have closed um performances. The Melbourne Theatre Company, the City Theatre Company, um, these are environments where you've got well over 500 people. The advice to date, the date being Tuesday the 17th here in Sydney, uh, at the moment is gatherings over 500 people uh are a no-no.

SAM: 01:39
Which is a suggestion, but yes.

MAX: 01:41
It's it's I think it's gonna be yeah, yeah. It's it's it's it's I mean they're enforcing um the 14-day isolation for those who just therole overseas or have symptoms or are diagnosed. I was gonna there's fines if you're if you're caught.

SAM: 01:55
I was thinking like, how are they measuring that? But then also it's a $13,000 fine or jail time or something like that.

MAX: 02:00
And I think really you've got to be thick to get out there out and about and start, you know.

SAM: 02:03
Or just selfish.

MAX: 02:04
And uh exactly, yeah, a lot of selfish people because of the panic buying is just crazy. I mean, for some reason, I mean we make toilet paper in nearly every state and territory in Australia. We make it locally and people are out raiding the shelves. We import it. It's it's it's crazy. And I mean, I'm actually down to one and a half rolls. It's serious. I haven't stockpiled.

SAM: 02:21
I'm I'm one sitting left.

MAX: 02:23
I'm oh it's not that messy. Unless they get the liquid poo explosions, and I'm not planning on having food poisoning. So touch wood. I should that should last me. Hot tip from the local service station though. Uh they're getting a delivery tonight, and I'll be there tomorrow morning after my early morning swim. Oh ride in on the Vesper and get one of their bulk cats.

SAM: 02:40
Bread. Bread's all gone. Dad asked me to pick up bread the other day. It's really nowhere.

MAX: 02:44
I went into two supermarkets. One, there's no bread, there's heaps of pasta, the other one, no pasta and heaps of bread. So I don't know. People just, it depends on who's buying.

SAM: 02:51
Because bread. I mean, everyone eats bread, but it's also not crazy.

MAX: 02:53
And we've had we've had footage from some, and you you, you know, the one percenters, the crazy ones, you know, fighting over toilet paper. I know a guy got tased in a big W supermarket uh because he was becoming quite violent um as a result of not getting the toilet paper he wanted.

SAM: 03:08
So here's what I don't understand. It's not a virus that causes you to It's the panic. I'm putting a beep there. It's like a zombie apocalypse.

MAX: 03:17
The zombies are kind of okay. They're predictable. My dad's the people you're worried about. Get my guns, we'll we'll get ready for the apocalypse. Well, have you seen in America the queues at gun shops for survival gear and and weapons?

SAM: 03:28
Is that in case people come in and try to steal toilet paper?

MAX: 03:30
At least at least we're fighting over uh toilet paper. Yeah, yeah. It could be worse.

SAM: 03:34
But uh No no, my dad actually said the other day, he's like, go check above the fridge. And I checked above the fridge. And there's a couple things like like olive oil and some like milk that doesn't go off if it's not in the fridge. And I drink soy milk.

MAX: 03:44
Um You're special.

SAM: 03:46
Yeah.

MAX: 03:48
Because because it's a lifestyle, it's a lifestyle choice.

SAM: 03:51
No, it's it's for my skin and all that stuff. It is a choice.

MAX: 03:54
Oh, I have to say beautiful.

SAM: 03:55
Cut it.

MAX: 03:57
No, no, no, no, no, honestly, because of- All the time I spend editing and colour grading our amazing footage that we receive every podcast. No, nothing. I didn't need to because you you drink soy and brilliant skin. Exactly. There we go.

SAM: 04:09
No, I no, because I used to have very bad cystic acne and it seemed to help because people said dairy drink, it's a fake day. Anyway, and I look in the cupboard and there's no soy. I'm like, so I'm not drinking coffee during the apocalypse. You guys can drink it. I won't have it then. Horrible. Short.

MAX: 04:23
I mean, you've got to start your day right, otherwise it's all going to hell. Um, my coffee machine's kaput, it's gone back for the third time. It's like, can you just fix it the first time? And every time I turn up, oh, it could be the water. I'm like, what do you mean it could be the water? Oh, you know, when you change water, it could sometimes I don't even know if she knew what she was talking about, but I'm like, no, you've told me that last time it's not. It could be a block pipe. I'm like, yeah, it could be, but you said that three times. So whatever it is, you can check it and then fix it. Because I've paid for it to be fixed. I paid 100% of the invoice to get it fixed. I'd expect the 100% of the work to be done, I'm okay. I'm okay. I'll get back on the back.

SAM: 04:56
How can you leave the seatbelt on it after you took the photo?

MAX: 04:58
I need to anyway. Did you leave the seatbelt on the phone? I did yes, I put it in the car and I put the seatbelt on it because you left it. This is my precious baby. If I don't start the day with my cappuccino made with my Lapavoni machine, you know, it's it's not gonna be a good day. Gets to max old man creature of habit moment, and then Fred sits on the lap and then we have our thing. That's cute. Isn't that right, Fred? We have our moment of relaxing before the day kicks in, which is good in the current environment because back to the virus. Um lots of arts things being cancelled, lots of big festivals being cancelled.

SAM: 05:32
And I don't think people understand how much of an impact it has on people because a lot of people obviously do this full time, a lot of crew, and a lot of like food trucks do purely festivals or events, and with all them cancelled, all their income that was lined up for months is now gone.

MAX: 05:48
That's right. In the in the in the arts world, in the entertainment business, in you know, it's it's project to project for most of us. And as the projects well, as the projects are getting removed, that's it. You've got to last as long as your your bank balance can. We had a notification from the casting guild of Australia to all the agents uh suggesting that we're gonna stagger our auditions now so that we minimise any you know large group of actors waiting altogether, so they'll have more a distance apart uh between, I should say, the the auditions to make that easier.

SAM: 06:18
Yeah, I messaged my agent today about how's everything going. He's like, yeah, it's quiet, it's gonna be quiet for a bit. Stay on the Don't touch any strangers.

MAX: 06:25
No, don't touch strangers, don't kiss strangers. They'll also have um uh use Skype and and self tapes a lot more. And when it comes to the elderly, they're trying to go to them or or get self-tapes if they can, uh, rather than have a whole lot of people in a rating room that are vulnerable. Which makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But of course, that's for the those few projects that are still moving forward. And the next thing you think of is, yeah, because I mean, you know, vulnerable society, you've got hospital uh hospitality is normally what you fall back on when you come to when it comes to your plan B, your survival job in the arts. Um, and that's immediately affected. I have a feeling any minute now, there's gonna be another announcement tomorrow, and I have a feeling it's going to be for gatherings below 500, it's gonna say probably in line with the United States at the moment, you know, any gatherings over 10.

SAM: 07:10
Is it 10 for the United States?

MAX: 07:11
At the moment, so I have a feeling that's imminent. Um, at the moment, the directive for me in my production of lipstick, uh in in the production of lipstick for the no intermission festival is we're still playing on. These are theatres that have you know around 50 seats and we can stagger the seats apart and all that sort of stuff. And a lot of the small theatres, like the new theater, they're pro they're progressing at the moment based on the current advice. Uh hand sanitizers everywhere, they leave the doors open so people can you know mull outside and inside rather than putting everyone together and keep all the seats apart so that everyone's got that social distancing thing happening. But I have a feeling in immunity, and we're still moving forward, like I'm still you know working on getting off book and analysing the character, and you know, it's gonna happen eventually, wherever it happens, but I have a feeling uh that April, May production might be pushed.

SAM: 07:53
But like we were talking about before, like you're you're pretty lucky, or voiceover people are pretty lucky because you do it from your own home most of the time.

MAX: 07:59
Well, look, I mean we're at the end of the day, if a project isn't going to move forward, it's not going to need the editor, it's not going to need the the sound guy, it's not going to need the voiceovers, it's not going to need any. Yeah, it's a bunch of work. And and people, what what what tends to happen in the blue chips is your first thing you cut is your advertising and VR budgets because you know you're you're you're trying to cut costs and trim. So new projects coming to light are going to be fewer. Having said that, though, yeah, it's great that I've diversified. I've got my little home office sorted. I know there's been a run on monitors and desks and all that as more people are working from home now, so that's another side effect. But yeah, look, there's also studios that that aren't operating at capacity, and and as a result, you know, there's more opportunity for people like me who can who can do you know voiceover uh studio quality from a home studio environment and save having to book a studio or or or avoid you know going into contact with lots of people. Lots of so yes. You can still dial in now, uh, which is great.

SAM: 08:59
If we're in self-isolation, if we're in self-isolation, we'll just cop it and I'll come here.

MAX: 09:03
Well, you know what? We'll probably end up doing two podcasts a day if we've got nothing else to do.

SAM: 09:07
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get ready for a flurry of the city. You know those like zombie apocalypse movies where it's like the radio's on, there's some guy still sitting there. That's gonna be us. Absolutely.

MAX: 09:18
Even if no one's listening, you know, we'll still be broadcasting.

SAM: 09:21
We'll be we'll be sh like tackling out people trying to get our topic paper while we're still until until all of all the podcast platforms go down, we'll be there. We we'll be at the top because we'll be the last one. I reckon.

MAX: 09:32
Fred, don't get violent.

SAM: 09:34
No violence.

MAX: 09:35
So yeah, no, so it's definitely for those of you for those of us who are able to diversify, um, absolutely it's a win. But look, it's it's gonna be a bit tough moving forward. So yeah, at the moment, I mean, sometimes you think this is the time where people need to get out and about and distract themselves, but with a virus that no one's immune to, uh, it's a bit difficult.

SAM: 09:54
Well, let's uh on a lighter note, um speaking of theatre from before speaking of lipstick and stuff, I am in a show now.

MAX: 10:02
Congratulations. Is it a musical?

SAM: 10:03
It is a musical. Uh it's spring awakening.

MAX: 10:06
Right. Oh no, no, three weeks in spring, different. Yeah, no, just the only similarity is the word spring. Come on, Maxi.

SAM: 10:12
I was in the last five years. Spring awakening. Very expensive. Spring awakening. My dad was like, how's five seconds of summer or whatever it is in the band?

MAX: 10:19
Five seconds of summer.

SAM: 10:20
Yeah, that's funny. Oh my god. Yeah, it was a classic. No, so it's spring awakening, it's UNSW, and as far as we know, UNSW is is going ahead with this production. So whether we have to move or not, like what's it? Studio one, it's about it's about 60 people.

MAX: 10:34
Okay.

SAM: 10:35
Um, but here's the story. So this was one that Jess auditioned for a week ago or so.

MAX: 10:39
Okay. This actual production.

SAM: 10:41
Okay, yeah, this is actual production. Um, I didn't audition, I didn't want to audition. Right. Um the music I wasn't wasn't like I'm not a fan of. And I was then kind of like, do I like it'll be fun? It's a th it's a it's a uni production. My friends, a bunch of my friends are in it. Um, I've done one before, I've done other stuff, like it'll be a fun chill time. I didn't end up doing it, and then Jess was like, text me after the read-through and was like, they're looking for uh Huncheon.

MAX: 11:08
Right.

SAM: 11:08
Like another male character. Yeah. Uh and I was like, oh really? Okay, can we talk about it when you get home? Oh, so I was thinking about it, still thinking about it, still thinking about it. And then without her saying a thing, she actually got a message from the producer saying, Hey, would would Sam be interested in playing Hunchin? Oh, well done. Yeah.

MAX: 11:25
Sometimes the stars do align.

SAM: 11:27
Yeah, yeah. And I know this guy, we've done dogfight together and stuff like that. Oh right. The director also knows me through. We all know each other.

MAX: 11:33
I mean, it's a small world anyway, let alone musical theatre.

SAM: 11:36
And then also within a uni as well. Yeah. So so then I was like, okay, well, this kind of like, you know, it's very flattering and very nice, and maybe it would be cool.

MAX: 11:45
And and and have you done this musical before or any of the songs from it? Okay.

SAM: 11:50
Um, it's just it's very rock kind of like vibe, and it's it's an inter very sexual musical. It's about it's spring awakening, it's about teenagers discovering that. But so I was like, oh, there's funny scene, like weird scenes for this character, and like they'll be funny, they'll be fun, I'll laugh, I have friends in it, and and you know, I'm starting to actually enjoy the music a bit more, and I and I'm seeing the plot as more funny. Okay. Um, but even if I didn't, even if I hated it, I mean it wouldn't be great to do it. But even if I I didn't like it that much, I can do it for fun and hang out with friends. I have a supporting role, Jess has a supporting role. We're not in the leads. It's gonna be a fun experience. Exactly.

MAX: 12:28
Uh, you know, keep practicing your craft.

SAM: 12:31
Exactly. We're not in the leads this time, so we can kind of be a bit more chill and hang out and and laugh. But this uh this character has a uh a gay kiss on stage, my character. Okay. It would be with one of my friends, one of my kind of good friends. Right. Um so that was another thing that I had to consider.

MAX: 12:49
Just and also the coronavirus effect.

SAM: 12:53
I know. Well, that's the thing with theatre shows as well.

MAX: 12:55
They've already uh part of the um I think one of the notifications came through is you know, here's how we're adjusting for the safety of the patrons, yeah, but also for the safety of the cast. We're minimizing uh rehearsals where and and and sometimes re-blocking when it comes to intimate uh moments.

SAM: 13:11
Well, we'll see, but but this whole production is intimate, it's ridiculous. Yeah, but um yeah, so I'd consider that, but I thought it would be good and he was comfortable and and so messaged the producer and said, I said, guess what? Uh like how do what do I do next? And he's like, Well, you're in. And it's sort of kind of almost like a skipple.

MAX: 13:28
Well, it's it's it helps when you when you've worked with people before and you know how they work too, and so you can sort of go in and go, you know what, I can because it you're dedicating a lot of time when it comes to stage work.

SAM: 13:38
Yeah, especially unpaid stage work.

MAX: 13:40
Indeed. And so you want to know you're gonna you know it gets together.

SAM: 13:43
And that's very flattering. He said, like, you know, you know, of course we'd love to have him on board. He's uh he's a couple of my friends don't know that I'm in it yet, and I want to leave like a surprise. So I'm gonna turn up to her house and be like, hello. Hello, meeting you here. Yeah, exactly. What the hell are you doing here?

MAX: 13:56
Um touch wood that no one in the cast ends up with the corona.

SAM: 14:00
Well, that's the thing. Oh, here's another story. Okay, so UNSW has had a couple cases now of positive So here's the thing. They emailed staff first, this particular email that I'm about to say, they emailed staff first and then the students. But someone had posted the staff email on the UNSW discussion group, so everyone saw it. But it was just saying that most classes will move to online now. We're gonna try and you know, you know, there's been a positive cases, there's guys in hazmat suits cleaning up b the business building or whatever it was, doing all this stuff, and they said that, but they sent the email the other morning and the night before was the census cutoff date. So now everyone can't drop out, and that's when you couldn't choose to drop out, and now you still have to pay. They did it after that. Okay, it's interesting. Because it's a business first, yes, yeah. So that's not very cool. And you know, they had all this information. They knew this happened weeks ago.

MAX: 15:00
Finished the documentary last week. Oh yes. Um look, yes, yes, I understand his vision and I understand. I understand his vision, understand what he wants to achieve. There is just a million ways to mark it up. So if so if it all if if if it all comes together, it can be really interesting. And I'll certainly at the very least be able to get some moments for the show role. Oh, which are me very, very different. You know, playing this guy who's obviously had a a tough thing happen at some stage, and he's he's he's he's gone from a steady job to vulnerable, homeless with underlying mental health issues, and there's lots of creative shots with lots of weird things happening. Yeah, because he protects the alleyway from aliens and all sorts of things, so it's very bizarre. Correct. And so I get what his goal is. I I see I'm in line with the vision, absolutely. It's just gonna be interesting to see um what happens. So that's in the in post at the moment. I had an offer for a lead in uh it was another detective show. Yes. I look, I turned it down because like it's a good lead, and you're running around with a gun, that sort of stuff, it's great. But I mean, there's just so many shirt and ties with Maxi yelling at people. Yeah, yeah. I'm just like, you know, I'm on a like the last character was uh in the mockumentary is well off balance. Did you get offered this lead? Yeah, from AFTT again. No, uh I can't remember where it was from, actually. From a different one, yeah, yeah. Or from online work or something, I don't know, from someone who's someone someone who's someone. Uh work sometimes gets more work, you know how it goes. But uh what what I thought is it just it's far too similar to stuff that I've done even recently. Like the interrogation came out last week, and that's me as a detective, you know, suit and tie, blah blah blah, yelling and jumping around. And then the one I did next, which is yet to come out, the taking is Crazy Max or or is he crazy and everything is actually happening. So playing Victor, um, again, very different from you know, shirt and tie Max playing the businessman, lawyer, doctor.

SAM: 16:58
I looked up your IMDB and there's a bunch of stuff on there. Do you ask them to put it up on IMDb or do they generally do it?

MAX: 17:04
This is interesting because I'm dealing with um a professional production company. Okay, the fact that it's young, the fact that it's a couple of guys, you know, one's a prolific writer, um also director, the other guy's a great director um and producer. So the fact that they're young means nothing to me. That the it's it's the work. You look at the work and go, this is really interesting. I can see myself playing this. And and the fact that they just graduated, you know, a couple of years ago means in fact it means more that they're still instead of just going to survival jobs and then maybe a production company and blah blah blah and get to direct for the first time six years later, uh, they just keep keep on producing. And I think that's really cool. That's really cool. And they're just putting it up on IMDb. So a part of that is the professional image. And yeah, so they're putting I actually thanked them. I said thanks for I said I said a note to Jacob uh just last week. Thanks for putting um the taking, which is the the video on IMDb. Because yeah, it does mean a lot, you know.

SAM: 17:57
Do you edit your IMDB account or is that done? I do, I do. So you put your own photo.

MAX: 18:01
Yeah, yeah. I've got a professional IMDb pro uh membership. Yeah. So I can be in control of it. It costs money, doesn't it? It does indeed, like in most things. But it's valuable because IMDB is kind of like the go-to for people at times, and it's very searchable. It's SEO friendly, as you would say, if you're Google-ish. Uh so that you if you tend to put your name in, yeah, that's what sort of comes up. Yeah. Um, so lots of photos of you know the usual headshots, screen grabs of different shoots, behind the scenes, and a red carpet here or there. And and a video of my showreel is up there, whatever my latest show reel. Just some of the credits. Uh you were also allowed to put credits that aren't verified. So they changed that last year, I think. You normally normally like everything has to be verified, and there's a difference. Yeah, yeah. Because it means something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, and and hence why I'm grateful they put those productions up there because yep, they did happen. Yes, it was a professional production, and yes, I'm I'm I'm grateful for the credit on IMDB. But you can also put other stuff up there, like some of the theatre work and stuff as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To to pat it out a bit as you do, that and it just notates that it's not verified. But it's it's well worth doing because it's kind of a go-to. But it like like I said a couple of podcasts ago, I've got a list of stuff to to to to update. When I get a new show reel, a new photo, it's like I've got update showcast, cast networks, video, vimeo, but but but IMDB is at the top of the list. Yeah, yeah.

SAM: 19:20
Well, I mean, actors have to constantly do that, anyway. You have to, and it's a job that's not gonna change.

MAX: 19:23
And it's a job in itself, and for me, it's a part of the social media job. So if I get new headshots, I I'll first thing I'll do as an example, so new material, in this case, the example is new headshots. I will look at those headshots and get the photographers' picks, like it might be half a dozen that they really like, um, isolate them, and then I'll say, I'll make them social media friendly, size-wise and whatever. And then I'll have a schedule as to when to so you don't get all the headshots on the same day, same week, same month even, and and uh on Facebook and all the rest of it, update as soon as on all my profiles and make sure I've got them in the right ones I like and in the right order and that sort of stuff. And you know, it takes time, it takes effort, and it's easy to fall behind. But I think there's nothing worse. Like we want to give everyone every possible reason to hire you because there are so many at times not to. So if they turn to the computer and type your name in, you want some stuff to come up. Like if it's your website, you want it to be in date, you want it to be current. If it's in have your latest productions and links too and stuff and photos that match the business card that match IMDB that match the showcast that match, you know, so it's not a good look, if it's not up to date. And the other thing I've got to check is because my agent's pretty good at at making the uh changing the headshot every now and then, just to keep it fresh, because you've got the same headshot for like a year or something, you know, production companies can still go, oh, again. So keep it fresh, and I've got a key current on that because I don't want them to send out my profile for a submission and get the job and I turn up and it's the one with me with a beard, or I'm clean shaven and I've got a beard as I turn up. Like I don't want I want to be I want to be that guy who looks like the headshot. Okay, yeah, um, so I'm kind I I know I note that down. Unless I've got it for another production that's already confirmed and it's a paid geek, you know, I'm not gonna shave for an audition or something, but depending on what it is. But uh so yeah, so it's like it's it's a part of managing your small business, managing your brand. Is it a consistent and update brand updated brand? Sometimes not the most exciting part. Like we all want to be performing on stage and in front of the camera, but if it helps you get more of those opportunities, yeah. Brilliant. Fred, keep it together, mate. Tom Hanks, we tried to kill Tom Hanks here in Australia. I know he was a Bondi last week, and then uh I think he should have gone to Bronte, that's the biggest mistake. But uh, you know, we talked about productions coming to a halt. Baz Lerman's production of um the Elvis, you know, the big Elvis biopic here in Australia has been post postponed for at least a couple of weeks. Um, I have a feeling it's gonna be postponed for a bit longer than that. We're also seeing lots of lots of movies being pushed back.

Speaker 1: 21:54
Yeah. Oh, the new James Bond one has been pushed back.

MAX: 21:58
You're right, and many others. And there's gonna be a glut as it comes to this you know six months time or eight months time nine months time when the movies that are were due to be slated for production now yeah can't be released you know suddenly it's so you've got quiet cinemas now and quiet cinemas later. Well I know in in most countries the cinemas are closed. Uh in most countries I think some countries like you know off the top of my head America and and Italy and some of the hardest uh affected places to try and get on top of it. I think you know the the biggest message for me to get all deeper meaningful at the moment if you're an artist and you are project to project um you're not alone don't be afraid to put your hand up and ask for help. You know, even if it's just to have a have a chat with someone. Yeah. Because you're not alone like everyone's going through it and it can be a really lonely business sometimes especially if you are by default on your own in between projects and the projects are well spaced apart or you don't even know where the next opportunity is going to come from as as your whole you know opportunity invoice has been cancelled one after the other.

I mean fair enough for some reason I forgot I had ice cream and I bought more ice cream and then I ordered pizza and then they were late and I rang them up and they delivered me two pizzas. So I've actually got an oversupply of pizza and ice cream all the essentials you need and Lego and gym and and oh yes and I went to the gym wow well I mean it wasn't crowded but uh for the two pizzas you try not to touch your face and you keep washing your hands and they've got antibacterial wipes everywhere so it's it's okay.

It's probably the cleanest it's ever been no actually I was I was a real quick tangent thing um I was watching the game changers ages ago as a thing I brought up maybe a couple times I'll pretend to remember changes no I just watched Arnold Schwarzenegger on a YouTube video. Anyway you were watching something somewhere sometime but Arnold Schwarzenegger is that he doesn't wash his hands after the gym and he makes his morning s smoothie afterwards.

MAX: 25:01
Do you know that for a fact?

SAM: 25:02
Well this is what he said I don't know if it's true.

MAX: 25:05
But he's like what's his morning smoothie has it got vodka in it?

SAM: 25:07
Probably and he and he's like and he's like because you need that B12. Right. And he gets it from the grime or something.

MAX: 25:13
I don't even know well I mean it does it started look it does build up your immunity I mean you the world is full of germs and there's germs all over the place and that helps your immune system. But with the coronavirus there is no immunity to it.

SAM: 25:25
No this was ages ago don't worry about it.

MAX: 25:26
He probably started it though but he's I want to be like Schwarzenegger I'm not gonna wash my hands after the gym yeah and make my smoothie one of the one of the best scenes ever Postcards Ffrom The Edge yeah but uh based on Carrie Fisher's life. Okay. She wrote the book and did the screenplay I think as well. Wow really funny uh Meryl Streep Shirley McLean classic actors and there's a moment where they're having this huge fight as mother and daughter and Shirley McLean's busy putting the fruit into making the smoothie and they're having this huge Meryl Streep screaming and they're going at each other like they've done a million times. Meryl Streep walks out as soon as the door closes Shirley McLean just opens the top cupboard pours the vodka into the smoothie puts the lid on it and presses the button and just stands there looking at him like that is absolutely brilliant.

SAM: 26:08
