00:00You know I love to travel.
00:01Ah!
00:02That was a very Ivy kind of delivery.
00:04Oh my God.
00:06What?
00:07I would love a Bourdain show with you, like a travel and food show.
00:11Absolutely.
00:12With boys and Ivy.
00:13She loves it.
00:14She's very, she's kind of a foodie.
00:16Alright?
00:17She likes flavor, a good flavor profile.
00:20You know, this is a wine that I think you will like.
00:23Great.
00:24What kind of grape?
00:26The terroir here, of course.
00:28I love the terroir.
00:30I do know that with Harley Quinn, there's a limited number of colorful language you
00:42can use in a show.
00:44Like fucking shit.
00:45Correct.
00:46Correct.
00:47Yes.
00:48Ding, ding.
00:49Is the same true for Kite Man?
00:50And what kind of restrictions did that make you have?
00:53They wrote it.
00:54You can...
00:55I don't think we restricted anything.
00:57I think I'd rather say too many things and then have to pull it back than not enough.
01:02Wait.
01:03Right?
01:04Are you talking about...
01:05We didn't censor.
01:06There was no fucking shit limit, but we also didn't have...
01:09He's saying there was no fuck and shit limit, not no fucking shit limit.
01:14I am a classy lady.
01:15Lake adds many more fucks.
01:17We have a fuck budget for Lake.
01:18But I like fuck here and there and everywhere.
01:21And you do try to limit my fucks, but then you let go and you let me roll, didn't you?
01:27Yeah.
01:28You can't stop the fucks.
01:30You can only contain them.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Only hope to contain them.
01:33In my personal life, I don't swear.
01:34It's a religious belief I have.
01:35Guys, he's a real bummer to work with.
01:38When I'm in the booth...
01:40Boy, is he square.
01:42Lake, we're holding it together.
01:43Listen.
01:44If I have to...
01:45When I'm in the booth, I will fuck the shit out of fucks and shit.
01:49Yes.
01:51There's a creativity, though.
01:53I would say we have a unique creativity when it comes to our swears.
01:57I do, too, actually.
01:58You know what I mean?
01:59Yes.
02:00And very open to kind of thinking of different shapes.
02:03Yes.
02:04Of...
02:05Re-fuck.
02:06Yeah.
02:07That's nice.
02:08Bag of dicks at all.
02:10And sack of ding-dong dildo dicks.
02:13You know, things like that where you have to get outside of the box.
02:16Yeah.
02:17Verbs are nouns.
02:18Nouns are verbs.
02:19Chaos.
02:20I mean, that is kind of a poetic way of looking at it.
02:23I mean, that...
02:24Listen.
02:25Finally.
02:26This is a show that I think fans have embraced so much.
02:29Well, first Harley Quinn and now are embracing Kite Man
02:33because it feels like it's really being shaped.
02:36These are characters we know and love or at times detest.
02:40But, like, what have been those early reactions on Kite Man
02:44and as to why people are so invested?
02:47Yeah.
02:48I don't know as much.
02:50I've seen people going like,
02:52is this the same show or a different show?
02:54Yeah.
02:55Where does the one end of the other begin?
02:57It's a family.
02:58Oh my God, they've done it.
02:59Yeah.
03:00It's a family.
03:01Not a family program for families,
03:04but it is a family and community of characters.
03:08Like-minded.
03:09Like-minded individuals who...
03:11Behind the animation, it's a family.
03:13So you've got Kite Man.
03:14Hell yeah.
03:15And then you've got a multitude of other morons like us.
03:20Sure, yeah.
03:21Who populate...
03:22Secondary tertiary characters.
03:24What a word.
03:25Beautiful.
03:26Tertiary.
03:27I give tertiary fucks about that.
03:32But I think that, no, honestly,
03:34I think it's very cool that you have an animated series
03:38that actually scratches the itch of this irreverent naughtiness
03:43and all these characters that we actually really do love
03:46and have grown with over the seasons
03:48kind of get more and more robust and more full in story.
03:52Yes, they do.
03:53We see Kite Man and Golden Glider in the main focus
04:00and Bane and all the shenanigans at Noonan's and stuff.
04:04Oh, he's back to Bane.
04:08I think too what's nice about it is because we get to...
04:11They're bad people, so it feels...
04:14The naughtiness doesn't feel...
04:15We say villains, but it's okay.
04:16Yeah.
04:17I'm sorry.
04:18I can't say villain.
04:19That's fine.
04:20Oh, I just said it for the first time.
04:21I've only seen it read.
04:22I've only seen it written.
04:23But I think the dirtiness and the funness is organic
04:28as opposed to...
04:29It's not like...
04:30You're not like forcing it to be an adult comedy.
04:32This is really who these people are.
04:34Yeah, I think we really tried,
04:35even from the start with Harley,
04:38we didn't want to make it edgelord for the sake of edgelord.
04:41We wanted it to all be character-based stuff.
04:45I think of it as a love story.
04:47That is what it was.
04:48It's love story.
04:49It's leading with love story.
04:51I mean, blood, gore, guts,
04:54killing and all the bag of dicks.
04:58It's really earnest in its love.
05:03It's an old-fashioned save-the-farm story
05:06where a community comes together
05:08and rescues a beloved establishment
05:10through crime and bloodshed.
05:12And bloodshed.
05:13Sometimes you just got to do what you got to do.
05:16In terms of Noonan's and just really crafting that ensemble,
05:21this Cheers-esque quality,
05:24how much did you all revisit a show like Cheers
05:28in figuring out how to get these characters together?
05:32I mean, that's like a personal favorite, I think,
05:35of the back row here.
05:39Frasier fans up here.
05:41Big Frasier.
05:42Cheers in the back, Frasier in front.
05:44Oh, Giles, come on.
05:48I mean, I think that even in Harley,
05:50Pat and I had always pitched Harley
05:52as it's Mary Tyler Moore with a psycho killer as the lead.
05:56And I think for this, it really was sort of...
05:58We were like, what's another really successful show
06:00that we can do five?
06:02Now, is it true that you guys go episode by episode
06:04through Cheers and just redo it?
06:06Yes.
06:07We figured out how many we need for syndication.
06:09We're going to stop there.
06:12That's actually a very good question
06:14in how many we need for syndication,
06:16because Harley...
06:17One million.
06:18A million.
06:19What is it?
06:20They broke the model.
06:21Exactly.
06:22I was like, I don't think that the model exists
06:24in that same way anymore.
06:25I mean, Harley already up with its five seasons.
06:28Do we just count Kite Man?
06:29If you say, if they're like...
06:31It's a spinoff, but can you make that?
06:33Not according to the accountants at Warner Brothers.
06:35Yeah.
06:36We've talked to them quite a bit.
06:37According to our prophet statement, no.
06:43Well, Katie, I would actually like to hear your take
06:45on the cheers of it all before we move on.
06:48No, I think saying cheers with super villains
06:50is such a...
06:51You immediately get it.
06:52It's just so...
06:53You're like, oh, I know exactly what this is.
06:55And it is...
06:56They help each other.
06:57They love each other.
06:59It is the save the farm.
07:00This is where they hang out.
07:02And I think that that's a perfect way to put it.
07:04And it is what we kept in mind
07:06the entire time that we were writing it.
07:08In the end, they all come back to this place
07:10where everybody knows their name
07:13and maybe not their real name,
07:15but at least one of their identities.
07:16They know their name.
07:18You know what it reminds me of, too?
07:19I can't wait.
07:21It reminds me of Peaky Blinders,
07:23where there's this bar
07:25where all this crazy stuff keeps happening.
07:27Yes, yes.
07:28So maybe it's Peaky Blinders, but not British.
07:30Yeah, and better.
07:31And better.
07:32Better TV show.
07:33What a tagline.
07:34Peaky Blinders, but not British.
07:36And it's a cartoon, and it's new.
07:38It's a lot different.
07:39That'll get my dad to watch.
07:40It's also better.
07:41It's Killian Murdoch.
07:42Killian Murdoch, because he's not in it.
07:44He's not in it.
07:45Well, I mean, he could be.
07:47He's technically part of the DC Universe crew.
07:50True, true.
07:51How do we find a way to bring Killian in?
07:54I'll text him.
07:56Right now.
07:57Right now.
07:58And then we're going to wait.
07:59He's asleep.
08:02What is that opportunity like as well?
08:05As this universe continues to get bigger,
08:08having more opportunity to bring in
08:10more of these characters,
08:11potentially more fun guest stars and actors,
08:15what has that allowed you all to do?
08:18And who else do you want to bring into this world?
08:21Schmooze.
08:22Primarily it has allowed me to schmooze,
08:24meet people, climb my way up the ladder and so forth.
08:29It's given people like Lick an opportunity
08:31to meet people like James Adomian.
08:32Oh my god.
08:33It's been amazing.
08:34It's good for us.
08:36We're an ecosystem, you know?
08:37Many organisms will grow.
08:39I feel like the more the show sort of continues,
08:44that we do have a better...
08:46We're going to get Kellyanne Murphy on the show.
08:48For sure.
08:49You heard it here first.
08:50Yeah, yeah.
08:51For sure.
08:52It's 100%.
08:54But no, no.
08:55I just think that, yeah, we can get anyone.
08:56Come on.
08:57It is like when you,
08:58especially like working in records
09:00and when we have someone come in,
09:01it really is now.
09:02It feels so good to be like,
09:03I'm such a fan of this show.
09:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:05That I was so excited to work on it.
09:08So we have been able to get folks
09:10that I think maybe...
09:11Or they're like, my kids love this show.
09:13And so I feel...
09:14Whose kids?
09:16Whose kids love this show?
09:18What age?
09:19Norman Lear's kids.
09:20Norman Lear, yeah.
09:21You know what I mean?
09:22But like, you know, like they're teenagers.
09:23They love the show.
09:24And they were like,
09:25they were so excited to find out
09:26that I was going to be a part of it.
09:28And so I think that that's always easy.
09:30Katie hangs out with bad parents.
09:31Oh, I think I hang out with good parents, actually.
09:34My children watch the show.
09:35They're dogs, but they watch it.
09:37And they love it.
09:38And I gave birth to them.
09:40So we're working on that anyway.
09:42We're going to get Bluey on the show.
09:43Oh yeah, we got to get Bluey's dad.
09:45What does Bluey's dad do?
09:47We're not here to talk about that.
09:48My kids don't watch this show.
09:49I just want to say...
09:50But you have kids.
09:51I have smaller children.
09:52You have little kids.
09:53That's what I meant.
09:54Because my kids are nine and...
09:55What are they again?
09:57Nine and seven.
09:58Let me Google it.
10:00You know, mom brain, what can I say?
10:03No, nine and seven.
10:05You can't...
10:06But they are so excited
10:07when I tell them that I'm Poison Ivy.
10:08Because...
10:09And by the way,
10:10the point is...
10:11Green.
10:12Green.
10:14I love that character so much.
10:15So grateful to be able to play her
10:16and to bring her to life.
10:18It is super fun.
10:19And even though my kids can't watch it,
10:21they're still proud of it.
10:23I think that's the other thing
10:24that's really amazing about
10:25both Kite Man and Harley
10:26is that the actors that we work with,
10:29they help create the characters.
10:31You know, and that is what makes
10:34such an amazing show
10:35is that they're coming in
10:36and they're developing it.
10:39And so they feel more rich.
10:41They feel...
10:42That's my favorite thing
10:43is to get into a record
10:44and be like,
10:45all right, how do you want to do it?
10:46You know what I mean?
10:47Let's do it.
10:48Let's play around with it.
10:49They're very good at that
10:50on this particular show.
10:51I mean, both.
10:52I mean, Harley Quinn and Kite Man.
10:53This team is very good at that.
10:55I go in there and they wrote
10:58the damn script
10:59and they're almost like,
11:00chuck it.
11:01Anything you want to do.
11:02And it's already very fun.
11:04It's already really funny.
11:05It's already among like
11:06the funniest things you've done.
11:08And then they're like,
11:09oh, also do whatever you want.
11:11It's a rare treat.
11:13I would say we afford these two
11:15that ability to do that
11:18because they're both
11:19very, very talented improvisers.
11:21Any other actors watching this,
11:23please say the words
11:24about the scripts.
11:26Oh, dear God, please actors,
11:27no, no, no, no.
11:28I'm teasing too much, I guess.
11:30They're good scripts.
11:32No, no, but we do.
11:33We do want it to feel loose.
11:35Improvisational and loose
11:37and found a bit, you know,
11:39and I think that is
11:40that does make it unique.
11:41You know, it doesn't feel like...
11:43They do an amazing job of that
11:44because they're usually
11:46in the booth solo, right?
11:47Yes.
11:48And the pilot of Harley
11:51was the last time
11:52that we had more than one actor
11:54in the booth at the same time.
11:55At the same time, yeah.
11:56It was, it was been haunted.
11:57I haven't seen Haley Cuoco
11:59in like 10 years.
12:01No, I'm just kidding.
12:02The show got popular
12:04during the pandemic.
12:05Yeah.
12:06And so we were all,
12:07we were also separated
12:08from each other
12:09and seeing everybody.
12:10But then it's funny
12:11because you're improvising
12:13with no one.
12:14So you're kind of like,
12:15well, what if,
12:17what if she says that?
12:19I don't know.
12:20You know, like you're like kind of,
12:22it's strange.
12:23You're in a booth alone
12:25and you're like improvising
12:27with the like,
12:29like voices in your head.
12:31Like basically.
12:32Yeah.
12:33Right?
12:34Yeah.
12:35Imagine like the Marx Brothers
12:36except just separated
12:39in dire need of help.
12:43Yeah.
12:44It's exactly like that.
12:47No, but it is,
12:48it's quite,
12:49it's quite surreal.
12:50Well, to that point
12:51of kind of adding to things,
12:52part of why we're here,
12:53the excitement of Comic-Con
12:54is you guys are going to be
12:55debuting things
12:56and revealing things.
12:58So what can you tease
12:59about what is to come?
13:02Katie.
13:03Explosions?
13:05There'll be explosions.
13:06There's always explosions.
13:08For Kite,
13:09I think what's really cool
13:10is that Kite Man,
13:12the finale of Kite Man
13:13does sort of tease
13:15the beginning of Harley,
13:17season five.
13:19So you got to keep,
13:20yeah, there's layers
13:21upon layers upon layers.
13:25And yeah.
13:26And in season five,
13:27we get our gang back together,
13:28right?
13:32Not to throw wrenches
13:33into any plans.
13:34Please do.
13:35But I am also curious,
13:36you know,
13:37as this universe continues
13:38to expand,
13:39we continue to get more spinoffs.
13:40As does ours,
13:41expanding.
13:42Well,
13:43what about Bane?
13:44What about Poison Ivy?
13:46Taking some solo journeys
13:48as well.
13:49How expansive
13:51can this universe get?
13:52Well,
13:53like her.
13:55I think we can only speak
13:56in hypotheticals, right?
13:57Correct.
13:58Truly, Professor, truly.
13:59That's the limit.
14:00Hypotheticals only.
14:01Of course, of course.
14:02Right here is a pipe.
14:04That's what he's doing here.
14:05I don't know if the folks
14:06at home understand.
14:07Yeah, yeah.
14:08Object work.
14:09They'll animate it later.
14:10No, it's not real.
14:13But I think having done...
14:15Can you please get up?
14:16I think having done
14:17six collected seasons of,
14:19you know,
14:20this show,
14:21of Kite Man and Harley,
14:22I would feel very confident
14:24giving a solo show
14:26to several characters.
14:28I could hear.
14:29Let's just say
14:30we've talked about it.
14:31Let's just say...
14:33It's been talked about
14:34in words.
14:35It's been talked about.
14:36We have used words,
14:37we've used pictures.
14:38I have no idea what
14:39he's talking about.
14:40But...
14:41I don't know.
14:42What am I supposed to say?
14:43I hope no, I hope no.
14:44I disagree with the panel.
14:45I think they should see...
14:46Wow!
14:47Let's put a stop
14:48to this solo business
14:49and this spinoff nonsense
14:50right here.
14:51Fewer characters.
14:52Squash it here.
14:53I want ensembles only.
14:54I want original stories.
14:55I want...
14:56I want the team sitcom.
14:57That's your UCB.
14:58Christ, I'm so sorry.
15:00Okay, it's okay.
15:01We want to keep
15:02Bane in the background
15:03for a minute.
15:04That's a lot of work to carry.
15:05He seems to always be
15:06in the foreground.
15:07I was going to say,
15:08you really always notice Bane.
15:09You're not subtly Bane.
15:11Well, that's the show.
15:13Subtly Bane!
15:14That's it!
15:15Subtly Bane.
15:16Subtly Bane.
15:17Subtly Bane.
15:18Any...
15:19Now, do we have to run this
15:21by James Gunn
15:22and Peter Saffron?
15:23No.
15:24No.
15:25We don't tell any of them
15:26until the last minute.
15:27I don't even know
15:28who that is.
15:29We don't tell them
15:30how to make Superman
15:33Subtly Bane.
15:34Do we know that we're going to...
15:37We're taking a trip
15:38outside of Gotham
15:39in season five?
15:40Uh...
15:41Yeah, I'm not saying anything.
15:42I like theorizing
15:43the wrong thing.
15:44Actually, yes.
15:45When is this going to air?
15:46Well, this...
15:48Right now.
15:49When are you announcing it?
15:50We're live.
15:51Are you announcing it
15:52at the panel?
15:53At the panel,
15:54we're going to talk about
15:55season five of Harley,
15:56which exists outside of Gotham.
15:57Yes.
15:58In another famous city.
15:59Sometimes when you're
16:00in a relationship for a while...
16:01Detroit.
16:02You want to go to Detroit.
16:03It is canonically...
16:04No, sometimes when you're
16:05in a relationship,
16:06you can get into a rut,
16:08and you want to
16:09change it up a bit,
16:10and so season five is about
16:12what if we left Gotham
16:14and tried something new?
16:18And not Detroit.
16:20I'm not going to say
16:21it's not Detroit.
16:22It's a wonderful city,
16:23and it's really on the rise,
16:24and I'm proud of the city.
16:25I loved it.
16:26Personally, I loved Detroit.
16:27Yeah, as a Midwestern person,
16:28as you can tell.
16:29Love it.
16:30In the DC universe.
16:32In general.
16:33Or both.
16:34It does exist
16:35in the DC universe.
16:36It does exist, yes.
16:37Justice League,
16:38the Detroit years,
16:39it is a real thing.
16:40You're such a nerd.
16:41There's a lot of people
16:42who are very upset
16:43with all of us.
16:44I don't even have my glasses
16:45to push up right now.
16:46How did Ivy enjoy
16:47getting outside of Gotham?
16:49I'm sorry?
16:50How did Ivy enjoy
16:51getting outside of Gotham?
16:52You know I love to travel.
16:56You know, pack my bags,
16:57ready to go.
16:59That was a very Ivy
17:00kind of delivery.
17:02Oh my God.
17:03What?
17:04I would love a Bourdain show
17:05with you,
17:06like a travel and food show.
17:08Absolutely.
17:09With boys and Ivy.
17:10She loves it.
17:11She's very,
17:12she's kind of a foodie.
17:13All right?
17:14She likes flavor,
17:15a good flavor profile.
17:17You know,
17:18this is a wine
17:19that I think you will like.
17:21What kind of grape?
17:23The terroir here, of course.
17:25I love the terroir.
17:26I love it.
17:27I like notes of
17:28Woody...
17:29Woo!
17:30Harrelson.
17:31Yeah.
17:32Full of cloves.
17:33Woody Harrelson.
17:34The wine of Courtauld Maltese
17:35was beginning to come into its own.
17:37I think another thing
17:38that's worth saying
17:39is that both
17:40Lake and James
17:41do a ton of voices.
17:43Not just Ivy and Bane
17:45and like so...
17:46Some are your favorites.
17:47It's also such a,
17:48it's such a...
17:49Yeah, you really,
17:50you really are talking to
17:51like two of the most
17:53accomplished voice actors
17:54in the universe.
17:55Oh my God.
17:56Wrote a book about it.
17:57I did write a book.
17:58Wrote and directed a movie about it.
17:59But for real.
18:00Yeah, it's true.
18:01You don't even know
18:02how many times
18:03you've heard them
18:04play other characters
18:05in a million things
18:06outside of even Harley.
18:07Yeah.
18:08You don't know
18:09that Lake was Ratatouille.
18:10Yes.
18:11We had an Oswald.
18:13Had to get it
18:14because it's...
18:15You have to have a man.
18:16I was Betty Boop.
18:18Yes.
18:19Years.
18:20For years.
18:21Years and years.
18:22Let's hear it.
18:23But it is fun.
18:24Like we both
18:26very much enjoy
18:27the job that we have
18:30which is filling in
18:31any of the...
18:32The ancillary characters.
18:34Necessary characters.
18:36Tertiary.
18:37Tertiary.
18:38Qua-tertiary.
18:39Nice.
18:40The ones that have to be there
18:41for the story
18:42but then they're like,
18:43oh no,
18:44we didn't think
18:45they would've cast this.
18:46Well, get James.
18:47Laker James.
18:48I would say the thing
18:49that always ends up happening
18:50is they make these
18:51smaller characters so funny
18:52that then we just start
18:53writing those characters in
18:54like Cheryl.
18:55I'm Cheryl.
18:56Yeah, exactly.
18:57Lake played...
18:58We were like,
18:59hey, we just need one line
19:00and then Lake did this voice.
19:01I'm Cheryl.
19:02And then suddenly Cheryl
19:03had like a larger arc
19:04than most DC characters.
19:05There's your spin off.
19:06She had such a background
19:07of just...
19:08They were so rich
19:09in like her...
19:10The complexities of...
19:11Wasn't there a step...
19:12Yes.
19:13She has a stepchild.
19:14Yeah, a stepson.
19:15Stepson.
19:16Stepson.
19:17Stepson.
19:18Stepson.
19:19Stepson.
19:20Stepson.
19:21Stepson.
19:22Stepson.
19:23Stepson.
19:24Yeah.
19:25Stepson.
19:26My steps.
19:27Cheryl was a...
19:28She's a sellsword.
19:29She was a cop and she was a...
19:30It's so great, you know,
19:31to have opportunity
19:32to step outside and...
19:33That literally just exists
19:34because we're like,
19:35I want to hear Lake
19:36do that voice again.
19:37Yeah.
19:38Exactly.
19:39Those are...
19:40You have one of those.
19:41I found out today
19:42that you named
19:43the character James
19:44that's the one
19:45with the long gray ponytail
19:46that I love so much
19:47and he always gets
19:48terribly injured.
19:49He's been shot.
19:50He always gets injured.
19:51Terribly injured
19:52but survives somehow
19:53and he's got...
19:54He's one of these like...
19:55He's one of these guys
19:56you'd see at a
19:57Rolling Stones concert
19:58or something
19:59where he's like,
20:00God damn it!
20:01Something...
20:02But he's like tough.
20:03He can stand
20:04terrible injuries
20:05and he shows up
20:06in the next episode
20:07somehow.
20:08But I can't tell you
20:09how many episodes
20:10we make it
20:11where you say something
20:12as some random character
20:13and then that ends up
20:14being the button.
20:15Like that ends up...
20:16Yeah.
20:17You know what I mean?
20:18So it's just such a gift
20:19to have them.
20:20Sometimes it's just
20:21like bank tailors
20:22or you know
20:23or like you know
20:24girl number three.
20:25You know,
20:26whatever it is
20:27but it's like
20:28some of my favorite
20:29things to do.
20:30Oh, hi.
20:31Can I help you?
20:32And then like
20:33the head gets cut off.
20:34Yeah.
20:35Lots of those moments.
20:36Oh, she looks nice.
20:37Yeah.
20:38It's like doing efforts
20:39as well.
20:40Yeah.
20:41You do a line
20:42a few times
20:43and they're like,
20:44okay,
20:45can you do it again?
20:46But like each time
20:47like you're getting
20:48killed a different way.
20:49Yeah.
20:50It's like you're falling
20:51off a bridge
20:52into like lava.
20:53They're like,
20:54we're going to need
20:55you just to like
20:56like more of like
20:57an effort that sounds
20:58more like lava death.
20:59And you're like,
21:00oh, okay, okay.
21:01It's like,
21:02you're like,
21:03oh, that sounds more
21:04like a lava related death,
21:05you know,
21:06versus the previous one,
21:07which was way,
21:08it was far away from that.
21:09All I'm going to say
21:10is that people
21:11coming into this video
21:12did not realize
21:13they were going to
21:14actually get a masterclass
21:15in the future.
21:16Yeah.
21:17Yeah.
21:18Yeah.
21:19They didn't realize
21:20they were going to get
21:21a masterclass
21:22in how to do this.
21:23I know.
21:24Wow.
21:25So thank you.
21:26Still by Lake's book though.
21:27By the way,
21:28Inside Voice,
21:29my obsession with,
21:30with How We Sound
21:31is an audio book
21:32that gives you,
21:33scratches that itch.
21:34It's an audio book.
21:35Have you ever heard that?
21:36No.
21:37I should have interviewed you.
21:38It's all from the world,
21:39religious beliefs and so forth.
21:40Okay, well.
21:41Well,
21:42as we kind of get invested
21:43in what's to come
21:44with the rest of Harley Quinn
21:45and Kite Man,
21:46I'm actually curious
21:47what is on y'all's watch lists?
21:48What are some of the
21:49TV shows, movies,
21:50things that you are
21:51waiting for?
21:52Like any or?
21:53Anything.
21:54Oh,
21:55this is just like
21:56a variety question.
21:57Yeah,
21:58just generally.
21:59Yeah.
22:00Okay.
22:01I really loved Hacks.
22:02No, I'm like,
22:03are we allowed to like
22:04talk about other shows?
22:05Yes.
22:06Hacks is awesome.
22:07Hacks is hilarious.
22:08White Lotus is hilarious.
22:09I like how he's looking
22:10to me to be like,
22:11I'm like,
22:12yes, James,
22:13that's all right to say.
22:14I was looking at the TV
22:15behind you.
22:16Oh, really?
22:18Is this okay if we?
22:19Yeah, yeah,
22:20that's cool.
22:21That's cool to say.
22:22Part of the zeitgeist.
22:23I don't watch TV,
22:24I just knew what
22:25you were talking about.
22:26I don't even own a TV.
22:27I was like,
22:28I don't have anything
22:29like cool.
22:30Like I'm watching
22:31like House of Dragons.
22:32You know what I mean?
22:33Like I'm not.
22:34That's cool.
22:35But you know what I mean?
22:36Like I'm not going to be like,
22:37I'm watching this PBS
22:38documentary about,
22:39you know.

22:43Totally did Lorne Michaels.
22:44I probably did.
22:45Who probably watches PBS.
22:46Miss you.
22:47Shogun.
22:48Shogun's great.
22:49Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

22:57I'm looking forward to
22:58the reboot of Nightline.
23:00I can't.
23:02I'm so sorry.
23:03I'm really looking forward to.
23:04It's called Day.
23:07Day Circle.
23:08It's the prequel.
23:09Day Circle.
23:10We see the origin story
23:11of Ted Koppel.
23:12I like Black Mirror a lot.
23:15And then I like,
23:16I like have to
23:18like take a lap.
23:19Yeah.
23:20Like I watch Black Mirror.
23:21I'm like, I love this show.
23:22And then I'm like,
23:24like I like have a
23:26very visceral,
23:27like strange relationship with it.
23:29I thought Baby Reindeer was amazing.
23:31Boy, I ate that up.
23:32I truly, I loved Phantasmus.
23:35Julio Torres.
23:36Oh, yeah.
23:37Made me laugh a lot.
23:38God, he's got me good.
23:39Yeah, he's great.
23:40I just rewatched Succession
23:42for like the third time.
23:43Never heard of it.
23:44Never heard of it.
23:45Just kidding.
23:46It's a very indie.
23:47Or season two of Kite Man.
23:48Yes, and so season two of Kite Man
23:49all takes place in a boardroom
23:52where the Patriarch dies on a plane.
23:53Spoiler.
23:54Oy.
23:55Well, I,
23:56we were,
23:57we were on.
23:58You haven't seen it by now.
23:59No, no, they've seen it.
24:00We were exactly,
24:01spoiler alert at this point.
24:02Come on.
24:03But I didn't necessarily,
24:05I couldn't decide
24:06if I wanted to end
24:07or begin on a somber note,
24:08but also want to
24:09just speak about Lance
24:11for a moment.
24:12Lance Reddick.
24:13You know,
24:14what does it mean
24:15to have him
24:16as part of this show
24:17and to have,
24:18you know,
24:19had that experience
24:20of working with him?
24:22Yeah, he,
24:23actually he was who
24:24I was thinking of
24:25when you asked like how,
24:26when you can get people
24:27and he came in
24:28and he was like so excited.
24:31Like I was a fan
24:32growing out
24:33and he was so excited
24:34and he was just so happy
24:35to be part of the show
24:36and he was such a,
24:38he was just so good
24:40and lovely
24:41and like talk about
24:42trying to build that character.
24:44It's this,
24:45it's this new level
24:46of Lex Luthor
24:47that I don't think
24:48we've quite seen yet
24:50and it just,
24:52it was just such a,
24:54it was just such a gift
24:55to get to,
24:56to get to work
24:57with someone like him.
24:58He was absolutely phenomenal.
25:01So I'm just so glad
25:02that we're able to,
25:04to have him in that,
25:05in that season.
25:12.
